Q u o t e:
The reason we can't get eye of the beast is simply that blizz didn't know what they were doing with paladins back then. Hell, they probably put that quest in back when we had holy strike.

They still aren't too sure what they are doing with paladins, we went from the 'melee based hybrid' to a 'good support class', however we don't get to have a chance at some +spell crit gear.

The excuse that it would be overpowered with illumination is silly, other classes get bonuses from crit heals, and with how pathetic flash of light is in pvp, and how slow Holy Light is, the paladin is really only deadly when encountered with rogues who can't find the kick button, and mages who don't realize how good counterspell is.

Paladin itemization is for the birds, it's been getting better in recent patches, but they still have us chasing every stat in the game. What is even more frustrating is that half of our abilities will work off of one stat (Seal of command, and hammer of wrath work off of melee crit) while others (Holy Shock, Seal of Rightiousness) work off of something entirely different (spell crit). While +Spell Damage makes sense for holy shock and sor, +Strengh gear makes more sense for SoC and HoW. All and all, to be below average in something as a paladin you must gimp yourself in all other areas.

Top that off with the lack of basic combat options that are available to every other melee class (ie, a spell interrupt such as kick, a snare of any sort, a direct damage strike), or the ones that are available to pretty much every caster (insta cast talent, silence, some way of attacking mana pools) and you end up with a gimped PvP class who's only redeeming quality is to have 12 seconds of uninterrupted heals once every five minutes and the occasional string of lucky melee crits.

But divine shield makes up for all of that.

Q u o t e:
Be careful posting on this. I posted it got deleted I didn't understand and started a new thread about not understnading and it got deleted. Though the second one might have been considared "discussing disiplinary actions" under terms but I didn't understand what was up with my first post on the matter. Anywho I'm kinda afraid to post now.
