You say this as if I haven't. My main right now is an undead mage, and I still stand by what I said. I prefer my pallys, slow dps and all.
*A well placed divine intervention
*Blessing of Salvation
*Consecrate to draw aggro OFF of me
For starters.
I've grouped with some other great priests - Flyndar, Vilatra, Onan. I've grouped with druids - Hykim. And I still think a pally is your best back up healer. They take hits, their bag of tricks is bottomless, and if played well, they can be the most integral part of an entire group.
That being said, I honestly don't think this argument's going anywhere. I stand by my opinion, because yes, I *have* played with every class.
Until you've played a paladin for more than 40 levels, or played with a capped one that knows what he's doing, I don't feel you honestly have a whole heck of a lot of right to bash the class. But mebbe that's just me. I hear the pally bashing and I hear the night elf hunter bashing and it makes me shake my head. Simply because a class/race is popular, doesn't mean they're sucktastic.
My 50 cents.
