I reckon it'd be embarassing if they missed the button..

No shit, I don't think blizzard gave them enough. They're only a self healing/buffing melee class that starts with mail, gets a godly mace at 20, and a free horse.

Don't forget their instant full heal and their instant invulnerability shield.

Eh , against rouges they might not do as well. Two of my abilities interupts a spell and one even stuns.. this is at lvl 25. Iunno, but yeah it is pretty gay.

Yes I'm pretty sure interruption and stun would work so well, since your god mode is nothing comparing to delaying their death by about 2 seconds.

Ever try interrupting Instant Casts? All of their "I win" capabilities are instant cast...

Plus, from what I remember, their Divine Shield didn't have a damage-to-overcome modifier to terminate it early. They can sit there and heal all they want while invulnerable.

Seriously, if there is anything that needs a nerf, it's Paladins first.

There is only ONE way to kill a Paladin that knows what it is doing, I have realized this. The problem is that it's a gamble.

First off, since I'm a Shaman, I have to fight them in melee. They have far too much HP to kite them with shocks. Their weapon DPS isn't quite as good as mine since I can purge their seals, (although their overall DPS would be higher than mine if I didn't purge their seals and walk out of the range of their stupid AoE fire shit) but their damage reduction is higher than mine (Mail vs. Plate) even with stoneskin totem, so it evens out for the most part.

So I put on a shield, a 1H weapon, and windfury. (I use 2H against mages and warlocks, but you'll die without doubling your AC) I start hitting them, purging as they do their little magical seal shit, and running around a bit so they can't get me in one place to do their huge ass AoE bullshit. Now the trick is to get them down to their "comfortable range" and then completely blast them. For many (good) Paladins, this is about their bottom 10-15% HP. Since I'm a Tauren Shaman, I have only one way to stun them, and that's Warstomp. Which is two seconds. So I have two seconds to kill them. That's why this is such a huge gamble. Assuming the warstomp even connects, or they don't Godshield the instant before the stomp goes off (which happens alot), I'll have to earth shock and hit them with melee, either hoping the shock crits or windfury goes off and I can kill them. If not.. then I have to run away and first aid while they heal themselves to full, and we resume fighting; or I have to ghost wolf away and hide behind something, then sneak behind them and attack as they are sitting down to drink. If we resume fighting, eventually they'll put on their melee-immune shield, and I have to use lightning shield and shocks to kill them, basically; which is highly mana inefficient. During which time they can usually heal themselves again.. so in hindsight, I really have to hope that first stomp goes off and I can finish them, or I'm fucked. However, the really tricky Paladins will use their ranged stun and THEN shield .. ugh. Fuck Paladins.
