What will you bubble types do after the nerfs?

warface1968

What if anything will you change on your pally if the nerfs go as planned? Scrap, Healadin, weaker version of a guardian? Will groups still want a 6 second pally? I am interested because I personally am not sure what to do w mine now. Also feel like I wasted lots of time and resources making him perma. It is like I bought a 5 year warranty after working long hours on a car and now they tell me the car is no longer supported and no refunds.

I play a pvp focused pally and can't wait for these nerfs it means pvp will now consist of killable groups and haste won't be such an annoyance. Most of the other things will mean that you won't get people just having a dc and pally node camp making it impossible to kill them. Also the fact it's only 6 secs is great it's more of a clutch skill or tactical one. Now all we need is some other balance to some of the op things and pvp will start to be more consistently fun. Feel free to pm me here if any1 wants talk about pally.

I want to try. Bobble time is not a great problem. 6 second is just a punishment. I think 10 seconds will be the right time, but with the correct rotation and right equip 6 second is not a big problem. Not easy but also not so impossible. I think that after changes will be sufficent 2 paladins in a party to do exactly what i do now lonely.

Yeah that's right dude if they put it 2 10 that's certainly a more respectable duration in terms of pve but I'm wondering if with enough ap gain and snail you could almost run perma with that? Anyhow it will make pvp more balanced and that's a huge plus for any1 that plays. Far 2 many games we go in guild premade against others and theres haste pally camping node perma bubble with 3 dps roaming from point to point. Makes game so boring.

I agree I put all my effort and now he will be useless

99% of haste DC's will respec so don't expect it at all - AP generation will be entirely down to the individual.

I expect most OP's will respec to healadin just as most DC's will respec to de/buffer. I'm tempted to hold off on using that respec token & see how it goes - don't forget most GF's also run as buffer instead of damage absorber / aggro puller.

I will remain as perma as I can be, no changes other than being very narrow minded about AP gain and recovery. I don't think there will be much downtime for my bubble.

I spent a lot of time and effort on my Pally and they killed him 6 seconds sucks

Yes and apparently on PC protection spec is almost completely dead, I respecd to healadin and so far I am liking it, you can still tank and do respectable dps while spamming tasty heals, while tanking high stamina and sanctuary is a must especially vs orcus. Very different play style but so far I'm liking it. Sometimes change is a good thing. The bubble was holding this game back and I was just plain bored carrying pugs thru dungeons and 30 min ELOLS! Pallys should never be top dps in any dungeon.....

Ran CN with a bubble, GF, DC, my SW and a HR. We got through it in a bout 13-14mins, no one died, no problems at all. Sure the bubble was not constant like it was before, but with the GF there he would take the brunt of the damage while the bubble was down, then we get bubble again so the GF gets a break. Perfect combo I would say. I think people are really underestimating the value of a bubble pally now that it was nerfed....but I know better.

So anyone have any good ideas on how to set a pally now i thinking about putting my recovery points in the deflection and defense what do you think

hrunting1

I myself haven't changed anything, some have went the route of deflection. I went the route of a in between build, I got a little bit of deflect from gear only and defense as well. Guild boons work well to build your toon as well. I really haven't felt the nerf to bad. I still tank pretty well.
