Now, I am not a Paladin.

But to you Paladins who read SES (are there paladins that read SES?), does any of this sound right to you? (Names changed to protect the innocent)

[04:29:57] [2] [Paladin 1]: Haste is for hardcore pve and seal of martyr though, right?
[04:30:01] [2] [Paladin 2]: Nope.
[04:30:06] [2] [Paladin 1]: Not even?
[04:30:08] [2] [Paladin 2]: Nope.
[04:30:12] [2] [Paladin 2]: It's down there with ArPen
[04:30:19] [2] [Paladin 1]: But all our pve shit has haste....
[04:30:25] [2] [Paladin 2]: Which is why leather is better.
[04:30:34] [2] [Paladin 1]: Are you serious Paladin 2?
[04:30:37] [2] [Paladin 2]: DPS plate right now is terrible.
[04:30:38] [2] [Paladin 2]: Yes.

Is Paladin 2 smoking something, or am I just totally unaware?

Oh, and I'm 2 badges short of my Mirror of Truth. Honored with Sons of Hodir, though!

i thought haste effected melee swings, isn't that good?

That's what I thought. o_O;

but do they do most of their damage from auto attacks or special attacks?

if they use special attacks mostly, haste wont be good (since the "speed" is only based off of cooldowns, and haste doesnt help there).

if most of their damage comes from auto attacks, then it would be good (because that would speed up)

sorry, had to learn that little bit of info while researching what stats for my dk (and dks dont like haste either).

mostly all they have is auto attack, it's judge->divine storm-->something else....

rinse and repeat if I'm not mistaken. that's the reason their pvp burst was nerfed, they were just using instants while bubbled and demolishing people so the 100% swing time debuff didn't effect them.

Crusader strike! thats the one!

It wasn't just their PVP burst, it was their DPS period.

haste/arpen are good for paladins. they, imho, are all just crying. Ask any good paladin, and they will tell you they do more damage from autoswings/procs with haste, than from skill spam.
