Want to multibox again, how are paladins in PvP these days?

[Negativ1337]

Hey guys,

I really loved playing a set of 4 DK's after countless years of boxing shamans. I've always wanted to try paladins, but back at the start of Cataclysm 4.0.0 Paladins were really bad and needed some love. I am wondering if Paladins are fun and good to play these days in arena. I prolly go for 4 ret paladins + random healer in 5's.

If they're bad then i'll wait for MoP. I want to run melee monks then

Thanks in advanced.

Kind regards,

I'm looking forward to 4 ret and a DK. I'm counting on the passive healing from pallys to be enough to keep the team alive, but there are plenty of burst healing buttons if needed. I'm also liking that Templar's Verdict always uses three holy power - now it can just be on my DPS button. Actually, same thing for excorcism - the pallys are going to be a one button DPS class, which allows for management of everything else. I wish patch 5.0 wasn't so far away...

Sounds good,

Yeah i know paladin have quite some procs but with ISBoxer i can just put the button in my sequence right? If my character moves then he wont be casting i think

Oh great and I deleted a couple level 80 paladins to make room

Holy is awesome! Best healer for a multiboxer imo. Rets are tricky right now (even not multiboxing) but they sound like they might make a boxing comeback in mists. I'm sticking with the dks because I like having all those deathgrips (and I don't want to reroll).

Should check out the new talent Sacred Shield. Apparently they are going to make it so it can stack. With only a six second cooldown, the pally team can shift massive absorption to any team member. The most exciting part is the Glyph of Battle Healer causing a melee atonement atmosphere.

I'll be running:
- 1x Holy (Paladin) & 4x Frost DK's
- 1x Death Knight & 4x Ret Paladins
... might combine those teams, and 10-box eventually.

Will also continue the 5x Feral/Restos.



Pallies look good, both as healers and a Rets.
