We recieve spell damage from stamina and our number one (of many) threat building spell relys on weapon DPS which is converted to holy damage therefore affected by righteous fury. So when you become geared with End game stuff, you dont need spell damage on your gear, but inversly if you are undergeared you may need to buff your spellpower to overcome your gear gap with the dps to hold aggro. anyways, Wotlk is here, and i can't wait to see how our roll as viable main tankadin pans out (We couldn't main tank illidan as well as a skillful warrior, so I am hoping the fight mechanics were changed so that paladins can succesfully main tank anything a warrior could, with more grace as per usual ;) Technically they haven’t changed paladins core stats, they just changed spec’s up a bit..

Which brings up the other point of gear distribution. Now we pallys need to fight with the warrrior of all tallent tree spec, the ret pally, and the deathknights as well. I use to play Everquest at a pally and it really didnt matter between a warrior, pally, shadowknight. If you had plate on u can tank anything. Which always kicked other tanks out of the group or raid because one could do it all. Playing WOW at this time showed me that the pallys has a much different roll then the warriors and where needed for a specific roll during a raid or group fight. Vice versa for the warriors. This way of thinking created diversity and above all NEED. NEED for specifics. So from what im reading so far which hasnt been much i admit, those specifics are going away and we, pallys are just becoming a plate class that can tank something, anything. Like in Everquest, a game that has long been dead because of the overthinking of there developers and crys of there players who dont know what they where talking about at the time. THe biggest question that I have from all of this to blizzard is WHY?? WHY these huge changes??? What was wrong with the way it was before Lich King?? I always understood that one would fix or change something when that something was either broken or didnt work in the first place. Last time i checked, which was last night, my Prot pally worked just fine tanking and was in no way broken or didnt work at all. So again WHY??

It seems to me like they're homogenizing the game and taking away some of the uniqueness and flavor to each class. I liked Paladins as the plate-spelldamage mostly-passive want-to-be-hit tnks, who worked and geared very differently from warriors.

I'm planning on re-rolling a Paladin for WotLK and I'm thinking I'll go either Prot or Ret. It's good to know that Blizzard wants Pallies to be completely viable as tanks. If I can go Ret and still have enough points in Prot to off-tank, that will be very cool. Hmm, that is very interesting.
