Even though my pally is still young, very young, but playing a pally well is just as complicated as playing a shaman. In fact, because of having to rebless constantly (Skan, I so understand not blessing anyone through the cave run after you've been buffing the whole raid through UBRS yesterday. I was fed up with buffing just a small party yesterday after about a half-hour of play. ;) ), and using the seals and judgements so frequently, I would say in ways they are more complicated. Or at least they take more attention to maintain playing at a high level. If a shaman pops totems as much as paladins judge and seal and bless, no shaman would ever have any mana to heal. Yes, shaman have a lot of options for what totems to place and when and trying to position yourself so the group gets the maximum benefit from the totems (since the totems just land at your feet without your control over placement), but except in PvP and long chain fighting, you won't be switching the totems up as much. You place them at the beginning, refresh as needed. When you take down say, a frost-based enemy mage critter, yeah, put up a different fire totem than the frost resistance one, but it's still nothing like the constant seal, judge, bless, seal, heal that pallies do. Well played paladins never get the credit that they so deserve.
Intolerant monkey.
