Prot paladins - assume the position

[davidmage]

Yes I'm aware of that the teams I went with work wery well for multiboxing.
The reason I bring up talk about regular non boxing groups is because this game is not designed for multiboxers. So if blizzard should perform any kind of balancing, it should be done with consideration to what the regular players are doing.
So for example if we start seeing a lot of regular prot paladins who team up and perform much better than any other setups, that is a valid reason for a change.
However if a lot of boxers get the idea to run 5 prots, and it turns out to work well. Also for our boxing reasons a group of 5 paladins is one of the easier setups to manage and optimize as a boxer. So for multiboxers, prot palas may be an OP choice if you want the highest reward for the least effort.
With the m+ system this is fine anyway in my opinion, since you can find the proper challenge for your team in the level you choose to play.
But the "boxability" of a specific class or setup is none of blizzards consideration. If we start hearing about 5 tanks totally outperforming any other setups in the m+ race with regular players, then a change is motivated.
Or blizzard may choose to change a tanks role in a party, which may wreck our 5 tank teams totally. But it may be fine from a single players perspective, and then boxers have no say in it.

So whats really wrong at the moment is that both tanks and dps have come to the level of not needing a healer. (Non boxing hardcoreish perspective)
Since healers currently are so weak and not really needed, boxers who have used them in their teams take on a whole other challenge to actually make use of the nerfed healer role.
So many tanks and dps in general has lost the need for a healer (either due to tank self sustaining, or enough sustain of a dps + massive dps)
In our multiboxing world this inbalance has shown in the form of 5 prot palas, or dks. But I am sure that other strong teams are possible (with some more effort), but these worked nice and easy and therefore became popular.
If they made the heal only for yourself I would have to taunt and trade boss aggro. It would be uncomfortable but it is technically possible.
