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.

So instead of getting back approximatly 900 mana per judement, I’m getting back approximately 400 mana! After reading the forums this morning, I noticed that people are saying that ALL of the proposed nerfs were hotfixed last night yet none of the buffs were implemented!

To be honest, I didn’t mind the nerfs. So what I actually went out of mana once – I’m supposed to! Every other class does. Mana is not infinite in this game. My experience with this nerf is only based on doing dailies and not instances or arena. From what I’ve read, being a paladin in arena now is just about impossible due to going out of mana so quickly. I’ll try out the instancing part next so I can make my own decision.

So far, I’m still using my paladin as my main and the game is still fun. Maybe that will change if I get booted from an instance group as ret.
