you clearly havent been following it.. They are parsing 20% higher than Sub, which is top DPS atm.They needed to get tuned down a bit. They are still going to be top 5

I just meant, shouldn't they let them be the best for atleast a little bit? i have seen classes i have no interest in, being the best for quite a while....but Paladins are not allowed to be....

not a big fan of that to be honest. blizz should finally step up and balance so everything is good and we dont have this flavor of the moth stuff. if they now make palas better then everything else just because of the rework every spec will scream for a rework just to be the best for a month or two thats counter productiv
