We both considered the priest, disc mostly, as a monk. Funny they finally added a monk but disc is the original monk class, that is for sure.<br /><br />I always figured paladins more of a caster class, or should have been. They are /were ripe for a 4th spec of a ranged DPS in my opinion.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-73223406364013976552014-08-07T21:10:51.579-04:002014-08-07T21:10:51.579-04:00Anon, Grumpy's former Guild Leader:
LOL, well...Anon, Grumpy's former Guild Leader:<br /><br />LOL, well when my mages engage folks, it tends to be at max range and a solo pull. And the mob drops at my feet or close enough that I don't need more than a step to loot. My priests on the other hand, the power to kill is not as great as a mage, so the targets almost always engage in melee combat. In fact to my mind, the priest class is a melee spell caster when playing solo much more so than any other caster class save for Paladins and a lot of a paladin's damage comes in white numbers from the weapon attacks unlike a priest.<br /><br />I know a lot of folks won't consider a paladin a caster class like a mage or priest or warlock due to the heavy influence of the weapon on a paladin damage total but honestly, almost all the abilities to hit are basically holy spells called by different names such as seals, judgements and so on. Just is a paladin uses a weapon as his "holy" symbol for releasing those spells (with the damage based off the melee damage of the weapon).<br /><br />As an aside, I always preferred the D&D paladin to the WoW paladin. The D&D version seems to me more like a traditional holy warrior, smiting in the name of righteousness, than the WoW version of the same class. <br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-9179675050187726012014-08-07T16:00:11.416-04:002014-08-07T16:00:11.416-04:00Burnt offerings are still better than none right?

My dual c...Anon, Grumpy's former Guild Leader:<br /><br />My dual class combo would be priest & mage, more specifically a shadow priest and a frost mage. And for a really unbalanced, over-powered combo, I would choose a Paladin/Warlock. Heh, notice that both my favored combos have a minion pet and are good at both ranged and up close combat. Really they are, I know at first glance a priest is not a melee class but trust me, a priest may be casting spells but they are almost always in melee range after the initial pull. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-54564810898110480162014-08-06T09:46:19.113-04:002014-08-06T09:46:19.113-04:00That would be extremely powerful in PvP.

Just like a rogue can global someone now they need to be close to set it up and do it. Can you imagine a hunter being able to do that, from 40 yds, you would never know what hit you. You would be walking down the road humming a happy tune and them BAM you are dead laying in a puddle of blood and not a soul was around that you could see.<br /><br />Yeah, a hunter rogue would be scary.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-29436236043432965992014-08-06T09:43:53.451-04:002014-08-06T09:43:53.451-04:00I am sure many people wish they could revive the e...I am sure many people wish they could revive the enemy.

I can see it being workable with full stealth and huge opening move crit bonuses, more stuns etc...but only if we lose our pets and become rangers. I toyed with the idea of leather amour only and melee weapons too, but that would be too much a 'ranged rogue' for my tastes. Propper stealth as rogues currently have it, stuns and slows and big burst, no pets. Shorter cooldown on disengage and traps.Díananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-25796350134440305002014-08-05T18:28:57.473-04:002014-08-05T18:28:57.473-04:00just think hunter-priest - one can kill a beast, g...just think hunter-priest - one can kill a beast, get teh exp points then bring it back to life and kill it again "oh shiny!"-abhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14899567485973250660noreply@blogger.com
