Videos like that one you linked just start fights because it encourages people to play a class in raids differently than it was designed to be played. Have seen so many bad paladins and druids, doing damage while their group dies or requires healing from people outside the group.

Sure, every single class in this game can swing a weapon but not every class can heal.

As one of the few classes that can heal, wouldn't your raid members appreciated some heals?

So while you are swinging that Dark Edge of Insanity, other raiders are getting hurt and need heals. All you are doing is adding to the healing load of the raid's "real" healers, the "real" stars that work so hard under appreciated and under rated, while you play the wrong class trying to make a point no one but you cares about.

Instead of wasting our time with videos of DPS-adins, why not make of a video of paladins saving the day as a healing class, healing people, showing shots of your total healing done and healing per second?

lael. you should spend your $15 on some decent medical insurance instead, if you keep that level of stress up, you'll need it.

Do you know why paladins make raiding that much easier?

Actually there are several..think about them as combat logistics operatives. In a war... you think about the army and the tanks and bombers doing all the damage... however without support divisions... they don't do squat. The game is similar in its effects in a raid....

(these are not listed in any particualar order)

#1 Auras.... additional resistances armor can make the difference and give your group the edge in a tough fight... its subtle but it counts... concentration aura for casters..Fire resistance aura... +60 FR... enough said.

#2. Immediate emergency healing... ever been on your warrior main tanking and almost ready to die and the pally pops a lay on hands on you to keep you alive and increase your armor by 30% while other healers readjust? You have just been supported and the raid potentially savedby a pally.. NO OTHER CLASS CAN DO THIS... read that again.. NO OTHER CLASS can single heal INSTANTLY for as high an amount as a pally lay on hands.... I don't know about you... but raid savers like that work for me.

#3. And possibly the most important aspect of paladins... JUDGEMENTS.... 2 pallys... one for judgement of wisdom... one for judgement of light.. at the same time you fill the raid with mana and hp... if you can't figure out the value of this.... quit wow and play checkers you are too stupid to actually raid well.

#4 So priests and druids are the only healers and pallys are emergency healers only? I can tell you now I have yet to be outhealed by ANY druid....and frequently outheal most of our priests. Nearly full holy speced with a massive mana pool... illumination and an extremely high crit spell %...(6700 hp 9500 armor and 8500 mana for raids in healing gear) means I am still up.. still healing everyone when other classes are out of mana or dead .... WANDING on a pally's judgement to fill up again...

#5. DI so the raid is wiping on a progression.... and soulstones are down.... a pally drops a DI on a rezr.. and the raid gets up and rebuffs and tries again from that spot instead of a reclear/runback.... this saves 30-45 minutes of your REAL LIFE TIME.... if thats not valuable to you.... I don't know what is

If you disagree with this remember...Yeah.... YOU didn't design the game pal.. YOU are a player.. and if you are an alliance raider... you HAVE been the benificiary of a pally's support.... if you are a horde raider... its been a shammy that has been supporting you in a similar fashion The bottom line is this... there is real value to EVERY class in this game...you think you know what you are talking about when in fact you only make it clear to me that I don't play the game with you.

Gl noob... you'll need it on any high end challenge in this game.

Please kill yourself.

LMAO :P Somehow I think you're being a little sarcastic. I don't know what it is...I can't quite put my finger on it...but I definitely think you are being sarcastic. :P

first of all, fury isn't ALLWAYS better than arms in pve, depends on what weps u have, if you normally have some bwl/mc/aq 1her this is better for anything (warrior) and it's veeryy good for pvp, alot better than rank 14 weps becouse of the 2% critt instead of 1% and more str and more stamina, even though I'm both hunter and shaman, I'd never take this wepon if a warrior would need it, Herald of voe is good enough for dps shammy... this wepon would make a warrior rly overpowerd.. nothing more to say

An equally geared fury warrior that knows how to play fury will always outdamage a MS warrior. Always.

i guess u´r right, there is no "warriors only" line on that item, so lets give it a hunter, guess what kind of raptor strike ....

Dual-wielding warriors are more likely to pull aggro than 2h warriors for two reasons - They do more damage, and so build more threat, and they use Heroic Strike much more than a warrior using a 2h. A warrior using a 2h doesn't have enough rage to spam HS, they're using MS/BT, WW, OP and whatever is left for occaisional Cleave/HS.

Gotta agree here... Pallies are entitled to the weapon as much as Wars. If Wars want to DPS, they DW Fury. Our DW-Fury Wars beat the crap out of 2H-Fury Wars all the time.

But I have to add something here... I'm really sick of Wars 2H-dps'ing. Yes, it does help the raid out, but at what cost? I see dps wars pulling agro off our tanks all the time, because they spam HS like it's going out of style. I guess most Wars don't realize that HS is meant for maintaining agro, more-so than just an ability to spam. It's much easier for DW-Fury wars to maintain high dps with little agro-pulling than 2H-Fury wars with comparable gear, because their HS's don't hit for 1-2k.

As a Priest, I wish I could slap some sense into our tanks. I'm trying to do that, by not healing the idiot 2H-Fury wars in our raids. Hopefully the more they die, the more they learn to either sword+board it, or use DW. You all should consider that, before screaming about who this weapon should go to.

"If I pull agro, are my priests going to continuously heal my dumbass?"

Are you retarded? Might of Menethil has 435 top end damage. FOUR HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVE.
