The Truth About Paladin Talents

Ok, you should have stopped right there. This is why I said wait it out. They're still balancing the classes. Yes, paladins need work but it's nothing to quit over. I've seen plenty of paladins do damn fine work in a group by not TRYING to be offensive, but healing those that ARE offensive classes. Another alternative would be to "taunt" the players. Trust me, if you whack a caster in the face with a hammer enough he'll either die, or start trying to evade your attacks. A moving caster means one that can cast very few spells of any real use. (Let's not forget your resistance auras, you'd be surprised how few paladins I've seen use them) Just give the balance issues some time to work themselves out (hell, 3 classes can completely own the SHIT out of me without me even having half a chance in hell of beating them, and druids are a damn tough fight as well as well equipped warriors) I don't like it either, but I deal with it.

But I did not pick Paladin class to be a Cleric, look at the Blizzard description of Paladin "A more melee oriented hybrid" so me staying back and being the worst healing class in the game is quit frankly, a waste. And not to mention the fact that most plate armor is not geared towards casters/healers, so if I wanted some healing stats I would have to give up my plate and go to cloth, which gives up the "Priest in Plate" idea.
