So the paladin’s were hot-nerfed again. This time, the developers made Avenging Wrath cause Forbearance again. The forbearence debuff was removed in patch 3.0.2 (and now re-added). I don’t feel that this was a horrible nerf though. The was another PvP nerf.

Paladins were able to use Divine Shield and then pop their wings (i.e. cast Avenging Wrath), run into a crowd and bust up some ass while being invincible for 12 seconds.

Ghostcrawler tried to soften the blow a little by pre-warning the pallies in the official forums. Too bad he only gave the class a few hours notice before the hotfix was applied to the live realms.
