On Friday of last week, I sat down with the class designers and discussed with them the Paladin, delivering to them pages of player feedback. The designers - already aware of the majority of concerns presented, agreed that several aspects of the class were in need of refinement and polish. As a result, I've outlined the following areas which the class team plan to review over the next several weeks. Please keep in mind that while change dealing with class abilities and talents take time, plans for improvement are in-motion and much more specific updates will be provided depending upon what's revealed in our research.
Seal and Judgment System
DPS Control and Burst Damage
Healing Speed, Cost, and Efficiency
Blessing Duration
Talents - All Three Trees
Aura Versatility
More specifically now, with the upcoming Paladin talent review, I felt it important to be thorough in my task of gathering feedback, and to provide each of your an opportunity to voice your thoughts on the matter. Please reply to this thread by quoting the specific talent(s) which you'd like to offer feedback, and post your reply underneath. I've posted an example of the prefered format below. Please note that only constructive and reasonable responses will be discussed with the development team, and I'm not really looking for broad talent structure philosophy, but rather, specific feedback on each existing talent. Thank you in advance for taking the time to provide your feedback and suggestions.
