Wands Uber on Test Server

I'd rather have the player play well and properly ruin my #$%& than lose fights to people just because they're casters.

In your mind, you may choose to believe that you lost the fight "just because they're casters" if it makes you feel better. Paladins, themselves, are casters, however. It sounds like your real complaint is that if a caster is out of mana, wearing plate is no longer an automatic "i win". Well, that and you seem to be arguing that the Pally's less than stellar end game should be compensated for by keeping in everyone else's game problems around. My pally's rather less than pleased with his ability to do damage end game as well, but that doesn't make me want to keep priests nerfed.

Besides, given the scenario you keep referring to (caster out of mana wanding at you while you swing your beat stick) the simple fact of the matter is that you'll win anyway. Just drop the right aura on (every wand I've ever seen cleary indicates its damage type visually) and you're still in the position of taking less damage than your opponent.
