Paladins...is it as bad as they say?

[Tal]

You're assuming that the warrior is only using those three attacks.  He'll also be getting two to three (dependant on weapon speed) normal attacks in.  Assuming he's Axe-spec, like most Arms Warriors are, it's not unreasonable to assume at least three of his attacks will crit.  If they're normal attacks, it's 200% damage.  If it's a special, it's 220% damage.  It's very possible to crit for 1000+ on plate-wearers with an MS or WW crit, and 800-920 normal crits aren't uncommon, either.  Execute crits, while only operating on the target's last 19% HP, can do truly obscene damage.

Sure, I haven't been fighting Pallies wearing 7/8 Lawbringer and 1/8 Judgement, but I'm wearing little more than a few pieces of Valor and some random blues and the occasional odd green.

Just a quick question - do most of the paladins you face use two handers? I find I tend to survive longer after that initial mortal strike by switching to sword and board.
