Don't worry guys you aren't alone.

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/5740844319

Looking at all the nerfs Hpals are getting it makes me want to retire my Paladin and reroll back to my first healer class ever a Resto Druid.

Beta or not a nerf is a nerf and they are pretty big nerfs to what actually make us "viable"

Fear not paladins as i reroll along with you.

This is Ghostcrawler doing what he does best and nerfs Paladins.

Feels really good to be a resto druid main ngl, the rest of you can get chopped.

Hi, I change my main to apparently dodge good classes.

In b4 I go to whatevers terrible in Cata.

I'm enjoying disc priest  more than I ever did h paly. 

That said said, I was playing holy paly back in BC, and it has changed a lot, so take it for what you will.

Let's not forget that Hpallys will have access to a ranged, spammable CC in MoP.

And that it's still in Beta.

I can't find anything to be excited about for pallys atm, mine will prob stay shelved. I think I burned out on the playstyle and spell effects, they kind of annoy me now. Adding a giant f'ing hammer dropping on people just seems like overkill, not sure who thought that was a good idea  ::)

LOL! I know where that picture came from. It's Lobster on Bonechewer! I fucking lover her style.

I shelved my paladin a while ago. I prefer priest healing in almost any environment right now. But I play so sporadically that I can't even say which of my alts is my "main" anymore.

I also have a masochistic streak.  All this news is doing is making me want to dust off my Paladin.

In the past I've often found myself wanting to play whatever is least loved at the moment. I had to stop that though I was getting dizzy with all the alts.

Actually... Yeah!

I never realized how helpful FotM was until I actually tried it. I didn't get better, but it was worlds easier to win a lot of matchups and get a higher rating than I'd ever seen before.

Pikkle will be Resto Druid in Mists, so between him and my Disc Priest I've got a 2/3 chance of playing a FotM healer. (It definitely won't be Pala and I imagine most Monks will be FotM DPS at first.)

ATTN PEOPLE WHO SAY DISC IS LOOKING GOOD:
I haven't been paying attention to the beta, but this is exciting hearsay. Tell me why you think what you think.

Gonna say this again.

In MoP.

Paladins have access.

To a ranged spammable CC.

This is easily one of the largest changes that has been made over the last few expansions.

what an amazing idea by blizzard and in no way shape or form will this affect pvp balancing of holy paladins
