I find it quite funny that they claim they are overall happy with the Paladin changes from 1.9 all the while admitting that there's more changing in 1.10 (and later). Because, you know, every other class got changes after it's review. They're admitting they screwed up, but they don't want to completely admit it.

I'll believe it when I see it. Part of the problem is inherent in the way that paladins are set for tanking and itemization - we rely upon our mana for tanking and very few items have both Int and + to defense and stamina. So if we want to have the same survivability as a dps specc'd warrior we have to go with a very small mana pool which gimps our ability to tank. Its sad that Sharanna tanked a LOT better back when we did the crazy Scholomance runs than she does today.
They're going to have to look at items and the manner in which paladins hold aggro to make us effective. Hell it would go along way if devotion acted like defensive stance on a paladin only.

That's what Aleri did when I was brought in however many times to help "inspire" all the warriors. But of course there's always the possibility that Bolty has tweaked the healing strats since then. ;)

I know Shal likes feeling inspired around the Twinsâ¢. :)
Aleri and Cleoboltra you sick bastards. I tell you...minds in the gutter. ;)
