Please don't invite more paladin bashing on us, Jil. Blizzard already hates us and makes fun of their own class that THEY designed more than enough already.

Oh yes, lets give us a Bladed Armor type talent too

And misdirect, and fake death and vanish and self rez and have retribution aura heal ourselves by the amount of damage dealt to us.

Am I forgetting anything? Oh, how about eliminating the cooldown on Divine Shield? Lay on Hands?

Sorry, I'm standing by my idea. Let's examine it more closely.

Paladin = Warrior Priest

Warrior = battle

Priest = res spells

Warrior + Priest = Battle Res


Give us the spell we always should have had.

Uh oh, Shamans have res spells too. Better give Pallies some totems.

Are the druids down rating this? She makes a good point now that druids can rez out of battle, why should they be the only ones with that spell?

But I one up this, make it so that both priests and paladins can battle rez. Any class that could rez should be able to also battle rez.

I don't see what all the nerdrage is about. Many class-specific abilities are being spread around these days. Anyone remember replenishment? Now, even mages bring that goodie.

BRez is useful (I have raided as a moonkin spec) once every TWENTY minutes. That means it's incredibly situational, and the long cooldown keeps it from being overpowered. More often than not, whatever killed the person the first time will just get them the next time after the rez.

To make it more paladin-like, it could be a channeled spell that can't be interrupted by the player, which transfers the paladin's life (all of it, so you need to coordinate some healing to the casting pally) to the dead person, and at the end of the channel, the other player comes back with however much hp the paladin had. 20 minute cooldown, situational as anything, and has a paladin feel to it.

So, i wouldn't mind having a battle rez, but if you give it to all pallies and everyone else that can rez, that idiotic. I mean come on, if everyone could brez, you wouldn't be looking to build your raids. If you give all other classes w/ rez a battle rez you might as well give us all multi-classing. then we can all be paladin-mages, or paladin-warlocks.. oo just give us a soul stone too while your at it blizz..

NO, jil, that was stoopid.

Ah, another jealous non-paladin. Dance for me, it's funny :D
