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

[Arnulf]

... To be effective over multiple elites the paladin must have the mob pulled away from any CC. Then they hit the pulled mob with improved SoF and judge it with retribution aura up not with any other aura, especially devotion. The paladin also consecrates the ground and fires up seal of fury to hit the extra mobs. You then move from target to target rejudging SoF as necessary and casting holy shield....

Uh! That sounds like hard work! I'm glad I'm playing a supportive class. ;)

I don't have Consecrate. ... and I can almost feel the stares when I have to explain that I don't have Blessing of Kings. ;)

Anyway..

Concerning Seal of Fury: I'm under the impression that judging SoF only benefits aggro holding if you get healing. So I thought it would be most appropriate for boss mobs where you're supposed to get major damage and holding aggro at the same time. Normal instance elites should be manageable with casting (improved) SoF and just hitting every mob that you want to keep to yourself.

Hmm... maybe that is confusing. Let me try again: Seal of Fury should generate threat by just hitting mobs. Judging Seal of Fury only generates threat if the paladin is healed.

Or am I wrong?
