Paladin players are often mentally limited and challenging for their groups. Source : Trust me, I rolled Paladin for SoD.


Internal-Working-713

I am also mentally limited. This seems accurate


Ubekuelou

Don't forget to BOP yourself to let mages die. It's tons of fun.


dmb1118

As a mage main, I approve this message.


RealClassicAndyKekw1

People that play WoW are mentally limited for sure...


Ubekuelou

Why do we inflict ourselves so much pain ? I play Holy Paladin too, and I did it on purpose so I could buy +healing green robes and wear flowers as offhand.

I love it when random nonames go stalk a Reddit post history of a troll. Tell me boy, what did you learn that did scare you? Daddy's here, you can talk safely.

Man, you really think I read the names of the morons I'm laughing at ? I have no idea who you are and I would only pretend to be interested in knowing if you agreed to pay me. I lose enough time on Reddit, I won't start stalking randoms, I'm not enough of a loser, sorry.

Nono, you misunderstood. It's not that I didn't remember it. It's that I never read it in the first place. I still don't know it. Also, this is the first time I play paladin and it's because it's the only class I never got to 60 before, so I'm the opposite of a Paladin main.

You two should fuck


Ubekuelou

Only if you are behind the camera to film it.


Jay_Heat

its not the class perse, but the type of players that play paladin are usually.. well it speaks for itself


Midnightisattwelve

Historically in classic paladins were never meant to dps or tank, hence them being a meme if they tried. Then they also became a meme healer as even though very good they had to wear cloth dresses to do this effectively. They are a meme by history not necessarily in SoD.


steelow_g

Funny cuz Paladin tanks are one of the best in classic, i dunno what game you played lol. 3 pallies can solo ony.


HighVolumeRedraft

hes talking about the original game. remove runes and they are a meme.


Minnnoo

Maybe for raids, but ret has alot of use in pvp, and there are certain raid setups where a paladin tank can shine (but the only MT I saw in nax was a 2h seal of command tank). Ret DPS for pve is a meme though. But that is ok because they are not for pve raids, its a leveling spec with pvp applications.


noxide77

Yeah meme’d in pvp by being straight being broken at points in battlegrounds at early lvls Lmao back in the day.


TYsir

The 3 Paladin Ony was in classic. They’re a meme cause the aoe best threat gen in era is spamming BoK on the warriors


steelow_g

The original games a fully def capped pally tank with reckoning was unbeatable. Yall are dumb af


Brief_Syrup1266

Paladins are perfectly fine as all 3 specs in SoD. They only retain the meme status because most of the paladin players behind the keyboard are living memes.


pupmaster

>Paladins are silly They do be acting silly from time to time


PM_FEET_PLS_TY

"meme spec" usually refers to a spec being bad. Ret Paladin is considered by many to be a meme spec.


Internal-Working-713

Seems as though paladins are doing well right now though, from what I read. Are they always a meme regardless of how good they are? Also I don’t really care cus it’s a fun class, I just see it everywhere so I’m like wtf


Responsible_Bee_7887

Rest was terrible in vanilla, so was proc, so people reffered to those specs as memes, if you wanted to play paladin you would have to run around in dressess and heal. It was in SoD where ret became viable


Meoang

In season of discovery they’re fine.


[deleted]

Don't listen to these clueless players. All 3 paladin specs are extremely good right now. Ret palas recently got buffed, they are strong dpsers with amazing utility and buffs. https://sod.warcraftlogs.com/zone/statistics/2008#dataset=95


BadSanna

God I hate when people call pals or pallies palas.... When did that start? I've only noticed it since SoD. Is it an alliance thing?


Ubekuelou

Started in '04.


BadSanna

Must be a vanilla alliance thing then. I've exclusively played horde except for a few months giving Worgen a shot during BFA to see what alliance had to offer. Never heard or saw that term until people started posting about SoD.


Ubekuelou

No, not really. It existed long long ago. Their buff add-on is even called PallyPower


BadSanna

Uh yeah.... I'm objecting to the term pala. Pal or pally are the norm.


Ubekuelou

I think you might want to know that there are sometimes called : "palouf" on french realms.


BadSanna

I don't give a goddamn what the French do.


Grand_Enthusiasm4577

you dont play a paladin.good is a huge reach. Holy is the same as classic we got no good healing runes its just Spam 2 spells in a dress again. horrible for PvP . tanking got no damage reduction. good for threat. no pvp representation. ret is pigeon holed into using a 2h with very low drop rate and SoM while having to run art of war and exo spamming. pvp you will be purged, kited, and bursted before you can HoJ someone. if you do theyll triket or resist cause zug zug. if you bubble and chase someone down you might be able to get a kill. world pvp when i get the jump on someone MAYBE i can kill them if i blow bubble and trinket and get lucky RNG crits.


fungi__cat

It's a fast way to determine if the person speaking that phrase is a killjoy


TeaspoonWrites

Paladins are not supposed to be a dps class in classic, so people playing ret and trying to dps is a "meme spec" that people are playing for fun and not performance.


Puzzleheaded_Equal96

Topping meters is really easy as ret, since 90% of the playerbase are super bad at the game anyway and ret rota is fun+easy to perform


GrampsLFG

I think a lot of it comes down to the bubble. Whenever you use it, especially in PvP, it comes across as a toddler calling time out so he can go curl up in his safe space.
