Only one thing I'm kinda excited about:

Quote:

Q: What is the goal when re-designing the paladin class? How do you plan to change rotations, talents, etc?
A. All of the paladin specializations will make use of a new resource called Holy Power. Holy Power accumulates from using Crusader Strike, Holy Shock, and some other talents. Holy Power can be consumed to augment a variety of abilities, including:

An instant mana-free heal: Word of Glory
A buff to increase holy damage done: Inquisition
A massive physical melee attack for Retribution paladins: Templar’s Verdict
Holy Shield’s duration is now extended by Holy Power
Divine Storm’s damage is now increased by Holy Power

We also introduced several new heals for Holy Paladins including Healing Hands (an AoE heal-over-time that is applied to all players standing near the paladin), Light of Dawn (a cone heal with a 30-yard range), as well as a new heal called Divine Light, which is similar to a priest's Greater Heal, and the new instant heal mentioned above, Word of Glory.

Sounds a lot like the current DK resource system. Runes = Mana; Runic Power = Holy Power
I like the similarity since I've always seen DKs as the evil paladins.

Read the chat as well, I'm pretty excited about all of the things they mentioned, now they only have to make 'em true. :-)

cause paladins were so exciting before this... :roll:

they're one of the only classes i completely do not respect because of how easy all their specs are and how insanely good all their specs are

i am happy to see the elemental fury problem addressed though i don't see how they plan on making enh more of a melee by increasing the CD on 1 of our 2 melee skills...

Word.

969 for prot
Faceroll for ret
HL spam for holy

As much as I hate to admit, pally's are dumbest class in the game. What they are finally bringing is a long awaited change.

At least 2pc t10 adds some variety. Never know when DS is going to reset. Have to make sure AoW is up before Exorcism. Have to keep 5 stacks of the Libram up with Crusader strike. All about prioritizing mang.

I think Huntard is easiest. lol auto shot, afk, kill shot.

Hunters require a helluva lot more attention and micromanagement then a pally with current game mechanics can ever say they do.
