I find it interesting that you favour Blessed Resilience over Pain Suppression. I think you have probably made the correct choice: Pain Suppression can be dispelled, purged or spellstolen, can it not? In any event a passive beats something you have to activate by a mile since the assist train often starts with a Cheap Shot or a Charge stun.
On the other hand going for Pain Suppression means you can pick up Power Infusion and 5% stamina on the way
Next when you say
Lastly having arena-ed quite a bit with my Paladin (but in less competent teams) my feeling now is that players are quite easy to keep healed unless the healers are disrupted. Often a match will have 3 dpsers focussing someone while 2 healers keep them up very successfully. Then we get owned when someone stops dpsing and starts shutting down the healers. We met one Mage who alternately sheeped us two paladins and counterspelled and did remarkably well in shutting down 2 paladins for approx 10-15 seconds. (I permitted the Polymorph at first since it wasnt crucial then when it started to look bad I got countered shutting down both heals and bubbles, that Mage really out-thought me and my co-healer)
Lastly some mechanics questions:
Does Silent Resolve's anti-dispel stack with Pain Suppression's anti-dispel for a total of 85%?
Does anti-dispel also cover Purge and Spellsteal?

Quote:Their earnestness in trying to get one measly HK turned the fight around from an Alliance GY campfest into a win, simply because I took 4 players out of the match, effectively, for over an entire minute. Had one of them been more PvP-oriented, with Arena gear and such, I doubt I could have gotten away with itare you referring to outlook rather than capacity for killing? With the exception of certain pvp set bonuses (eg lowered Intercept cooldowns) the PVP gear does not improve your ability to dish out damage. Or do you feel that PvP gear out damages PVE gear on players and, if so, how come?
