Wands Uber on Test Server

In your mind,

A bit presumptuous.

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". 

Paladins are casters- but we are entirely reliant upon melee weapons for damage (against non-undead). Unlike every other spell caster. We have procs, and through talents the worst AE and DD in the game. That mana is heal fodder and little more.

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.

I agree, but I've already made the posts, and I'm not changing them.

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.

Not true.

Paladin resistance auras protect against three (cold/fire/shadow) out of five damage types. Stormrager is nature damage- and as I said, an incredibly common wand.
