they were being sarcastic

True, here is part of the interview where Kalgan confirms it is working as intended: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=A7sfV58O3Mg&NR=1

haha!

NURF! NURF! NURF! NURF!

Even if Arcane Mages were OP these days...and they aren't, especially compared to Ret Pallies...they aren't a hybrid class like we are. Paladin is one of the two classes that can spec to be tank, dps or healer.
The fact that we can so easily do so much damage without being a pure dps class such as mages or rogues is ridiculous.
Now imagine that ret pallies were nerfed and suddenly moonkins were buffed to be the naturally best damaging class in the game. This is as silly as that is.
I like raid viability, keep that. I don't like having advantages I shouldn't.

I think we've found an Arcane Mage. Classes are never overpowered when you're the one playing them.

This is reminiscent of the glory days of Shaman in classic WoW.

remember, though, that the new talents are balanced around gear and stats at 80, not 70. Things will be a bit out of whack for a bit.

Feign death has always made you lose target. The point is, even undergeared pallies own hard in pvp against any class.

When a Pally can out-burst an Ambush Rogue (as happened to me last night) I'd say there was some kind of balance issue.

I don't mean that he beat me soundly out of skill... I mean he insta-gibbed me. Maybe 2 shots at most.

I wish people who haven’t played against pallies for an extended period time would stop whining. “He beat me! Mama Blizzard please nerf them. It can’t be me, because “I” have skill.” Riight. Nice basic of comparison there. As if the other player doesn’t have skill, eh?


What this tells me is that 1. People are lazy because they can’t be bothered to develop new strategies against new spells. 2. People are selfish because they think they have an entitlement over other classes.

I’d understand a cry of nerf if it was an ongoing LIVE issue for a good length of time, but as soon as people get introduced to something different they wah wah wah.

My advice: Stop complaining about paladins and start seriously looking at your own self. And people who go “I know it’s not me,” should actually pay more attention to the game mechanics.

Yeah, but ret damage in comparison to everone else is even higher! You can't compare apples to oranges.

For Ret Paladins to be even near the top in DPS is a severe mistake on Blizzards part. Warriors and Rogues should be at the very top of the melee DPS scales. Ret Paladins have other abilities to entice raiders and guilds such as Buffs and Auras and now even a sap like ability for CC (WTF??.) The ret paladin has become more of a one man army then a fair and balanced class. No that's not funny. It's pathetic. If you wanted that, the console games offer thousands of options to do so. Instead the rogue and DPS warrior have to compete with these PvP spec'd paladins. The paladins have a viable healing tree and an EXCELLENT Tanking tree. Why does blizzard feel the need to give them my DPS spot as well? Honestly, what would you pick: A dps warrior with a 2 min buff of slightly increased health OR slightly increased damage or a Paladin offering more than 200 more dps than the 2nd place DPSer despite being poorly geared with buffs, cc, AOE, and even more damage with holy damage.
You joke about the "QQers" but seriously??" Arcane mages may be OP but as a DPS spec they aren't invading 2 other classes entirely.
Paladins now have 4 possible jobs. Healing, Tanking, DPS, and PvP. All of which they now excel at. Other classes are struggling with 2 or 3. There is something SERIOUSLY wrong with that.
Enjoy your World of Pally Craft. Call me when things get closer to balanced. Fable 2 just came out.

You're a complete prick Deq, and your stupid uneducated and baseless rant is exactly what I dislike seeing.
