LEGION: Paladin Changes
10 years ago
General
Hello My lovelies,
As you know, Cavalina is a Blood Knight, the Sin'dorei form of paladin. Shi's not a self-righteous warrior-priest but rather a mage-knight who wield the power of Holy-Light magic through sheer force of will. The Sin'dorei are the Children of the Sun, elves with an innate tie to magic that is in many ways bred into them from early ages and drawn for the limitless power of the Sunwell. Why all this background? Because with World of Warcraft: Legion we're seeing Blizzard refocus on class fantasy and identity, so I am here to report on the class overview and what it means for the lovely Sin'dorei knight you've all come to love and faun over.
Initial thoughts: I like that they're refocusing each of the specializations on "what makes this type of paladin different from others." Holy Paladins now stand out as your field medics, charging into battle and bolstering their allies with their mere presence. Protection Paladins are the bastions of righteous strength, the battle pivots around them, leading from the front and holding their ground, this is Cavalina and I like where they're going. Retribution Paladins are leaning once again to the hand of vengeance, the unstoppable force of an angered god. If they can keep that focus they should be good, also.. they finally get a gap closer, praise the Sunwell!
From reading over the overview they're headed in a good direction and like most of the rest of the Legion coverage Blizzard seems have learned from mistakes made along with listening to feedback. We'll see where they go with it though. Did anyone else notice that there was no mention of Seals? I wonder if those are headed out since they're basically defunct now, we shall see. If there's anything else you want insight in on or have a point you want to make please let Me know.
Sincerely,
~ Cava

The entire expansion was a joke.
Uh no sweetheart. Pandaria was by far the best expansion for me.. i was here since burning crusade. it brought something not the others expansions had. The actual war between alliance and horde, but with a class that brought upon training, the slavery, the hope and peace of the land, wisdom and churlish; But you all just look past that. Look at the lore, Look at the struggles, the serenity of the land, the betrayal and hatred from both factions on a peaceful land, this truly shows the chaos between the factions no other expansion did.
I have all healers in the game and my main is a mistweaver monk! i love these changes and i hope they do something with monk to bring the pandaria feel back!
