Paladins suck at healing? <laughs>.

I think you may have just undermined your own credibility here.

idd, if you didnt know, pallys is at a pretty equal level with priests nowadays, so stfu if you dont know stuff.

I'm so sick of this.  I'm a Holy Priest, and I can say from my first hand experience that Paladins are great healers.  An well geared Paladin can put out consistent HPS on a single target for a much longer period than a Priest can with FoL spam.  Can put out equal HPS, but not consistently, because we are much more bounded by the FSR and our B&B heal is GH.

IOW, Paladins are on par with Priests in terms of healing, but we're designed for different different circumstances.  If someone tries to play a Paladin like a Priest (ie, using Holy Light as their primary heal), the Paladin will suck at healing; similarly, if someone tries to play a Priest like a Paladin (ie, using Flash Heal spam), the Priest would be OOM so fast it's not funny.

As for your assumptions about Death Knights, they're probably just as foolish.  Protection Warriors and Feral Druids gain aggro through physical damage, and their threat building is limited by how much rage they can generate.  Protection Paladins gain aggro primarily through Holy Spell Damage with a little melee thrown in, and their threat building is limited by how much mana they have available.  I imagine Death Knights, as tanks, will be much more like Paladins, except using Shadow Damage, but their threat building will be limited by Runes which, as I understand the most recent rumors that they put different ones on CD depending on which abilities are used, will be substantially different than any other tanking class so far.


But to answer the question in the title, will they be over-powered?  Maybe, maybe not.  Class balancing is difficult, and Blizzard is still tweaking it with every patch.  Besides, different classes and builds excel at different things.  So it's entirely possible they'll be great for PvE and terrible for PvP, or vice versa.  Or maybe they'll be mediocre tanks, but great DPSers, or vice versa.  But Blizzard says they will not be more powerful so I imagine, if they are over powered at first, they'll be substantially nerfed.  So it really doesn't matter.

OMG, i hear that about almost every class! "OMG, that class is too overpowered!" Its all noob talk! No class is overpowered, i mean, people talk about how the shammy is too overpowered, but ive kicked countless shammys ass with my druid! No class is overpowered, you just need to learn how to use it!! So cut the noob crap, and learn how to use your char.

Noobs no class is overpowered

Every class has it's own strengths and weaknesses. The armor proficiencies make up for some stronger classes, and what not. I'm sure that people will say that DKs will be over powered, but they're going to start you out as level 50+! The bad thing is starting out that high, i'm sure there will be lots of people not knowing how to play their class.

LOOOOOOOOL Shammys Overpowered ahah thats one of the best jokes ive ever heard, are u actually serious?

I can only hear all my shamys friends QQ about their class and the only usefull spec in that class r Resto Shammys all others suck big time, with my rogue I kill all ench and ele shamans without usin half of my CD and my hp barely moves.

You probably would want to say that druids are OP ^^

Death Knights will be like a mix of warlock and pala I think.

The Warrior ability 'Overpower' will work on them, yes.

No DK won't be OP cause blizz have put CD on runes etc. Also most wont be noobs cause u need to be a lvl 55+ to make 1. Also theyre are q's in the DK "starter zone" that teach u how to play them.

Once the DK comes out, there will  no doubt ber people compolaing that it is cheap but everyone knows that ceartain classes are built for diffrent purposes, shamans own spell casters,warriors pretty much own everything cept paladins(if there is anything else then im sorry if i didnt mention). Of coarse though any class is supposed to be able to defeat any other class but with all the updates and pvp upgrades its changed.

no class in the game is OP.

classes arent overpowered, if it seems like it is then thats just the person at the keyboard knowing how to use their skills. if you lose to a class, stop whining & work harder at learning your own character.

Actually, in my view, Death Knights seem like any other class. Not too powerful, not too weak. Rogues got seriously nerfed so if DKs are gonna be rogue strong, theyre gonna get nerfed too so just think about that. (rogues r still hard to beat tho =p)

P.S. can anybody explain rune magic to me? ty.

Yes.

For about 2 weeks.

Than they'll be Nerfed into oblivion and be totally useless to pick for anything because they'll suck at tanking and have lameass dps. They'll be like Ret Pallies without heals or buffs who can't respec. But you'll still roll them anyway because they'll look cool. \.m./

In my Honest opinion, hand´s ability its the 1º variable, But i do agree that some class´s will ultimatly have some edge over others, for instance, with my (demon.. spec Loc) i get ganked by hunters 7 out of 10 times, (BTW for those who say that a warrior owns, for me its the easiest class to beat)i had some troubles with rogues in lower lvl´s, stoped at about lvl 40 till 68, got harder again to beat them after 68, ultimatly at 70 i got ganked by almoust everyone till i geared up properly.

I´ve lost fight´s with every class´s in the game, and i won with every one of them, (still find very hard to beat a hunter). But well, am just a Noob ;), still trying other class´s as we speak.

I believe that people fighting DKs will get a feeling that they are OP. I guess this is because of the novelty of the class. You don't know for sure what to expect from a DK, but as time passes, people will learn about them, and devise strategies, counters, etc. They will be naturally "balanced" (or a nerf will do this, if there's a need for it).

I think there's no overpowered class on WoW.

lolz ofc they aren't overpowered, but it depends on the skill of the player, there are some noobs which dunno how the heck they use there class and get all beaten hard, and it depends on the spec you are VS the other player

hope u learned something

haha and shamys ARE REALLY OP (really)
maybe u that say "i've beaten thousands of shamys, they are as easy as hell" u fight with noob shamys, not with real shamys that really know how to use their class. if smeone knows how to use every class exactly the same and hes the better player in wow, he'll beat all other classes like eating cake...

P.S. SHAMYS ARE OP!!!!!

lol says a druid which is the most OP
