Quote:If the "ultimate" boss of any raiding tier were trivialized by stacking any other ability, they'd do exactly the same thing.
Trivializing Gothik or Gluth or Naxx trash are not exactly in the same league as trivializing Heroic mode Anub. I applaud their hotfix, because otherwise the "default" way of beating the encounter becomes stacking paladins. It's not a good thing for the game as a whole if it's ridiculously advantageous to stack any one class for the "last boss" of a raiding tier.
How did it slip through the cracks? How many pallies even have that ability on their PvE bars? That's how it slipped through the cracks.
I have had it on my PVE bars (the only bar I would have it on due to mana cost) since they made the spell instant cast, and leveling had lots of undead around (launch of WotLK).
I don't dispute that it needed to be dealt with, I just find it absolutely hilarious that they didn't think about it.
Paragon did it again today, 1 ret paladin in raid, AND did it with 45+ attempts left.
