Now in terms of snap aggro, Paladins win hands down.

FoL/root-tanking also relies more on the blind/proximity mechanic than on the threat generated by the spell, so resisted casts don't do as much good whereas you don't need to give a shit whether DC gets resisted.

ok blind is 12 mana. honestly 2 mana doesn't make a difference and they are essentuially the same.

I've competed with SKs and won.

blind hasn othing to do with proximity like root does.

and I've been in groups without clarity/bard song and never lost agro while never needing downtime. Like I said, any paladin needing downtime is doing it wrong



so rereading your shpiel I see you're saying PURE numbers.. I guess in that case the 2 mana would count? but that's like arguing that a 55 inch dick is better than a 54.99 inch dick - the situation will never arise where you'd know the difference. besides, the actual, nonagro effect of blind vs DC is better.

Paladin: Your own 90 rez. That spells win right there.

Don't die.

sometimes the paladin's gotta sacrifice himself for the greater good~

then get 90% back.

He already picked paladin? Pfft, just remember you'll be playing a ranger without DW and only half the spells.
Not biased or anything, although I do wish that all pallys would catch on fire repeatedly at their bind points. Rotten lot with their flame-y ego swords. Their 15/30 1handers from lvl30 mobs. Their bloody fiery avengers that rain down on them if they as much as look towards PoSky. Their lousy Lightblade charnames. And their messy word-mess with all that valorous righteous holy might justice purity virginity of light of goody-two-shoesdom.

15/34 THANKS
