I just thought it was funny how smilkovpetko called that other dude uninformed and then goes on to mention a consumable which isn't ingame yet and a weapon which paladins never will get their hands on. I'm not here to argue
Just out of curiosity, paladins AoE prowess seems like a topic you're very keen to prove (if I understood this thread correctly, I didn't bother reading it all) so why don't you show
videos of you outdamaging a competent mage on the AoE packs in Stratholme or better yet, the dog packs in MC? Or Sulfuron if your guild stacks the adds on that fight of course. I don't think easily cheeseable pictures from another server and a video of a low lvl dungeon will convince anyone.
Also please correct me if I'm wrong, I play horde and have very limited knowledge about palas. But doesn't your AoE damage depend on you having aggro? Which I could imagine would be a problem for you to hold on an aoe pack with no aoe taunt or regular taunt for that matter. I could also imagine the lack of defensive cooldowns being a problem on hard hitting packs (Yes I know you got bubble, but since it kills aggro it kinda defeats the purpose)
@smilkovpetko What makes you think I'm trolling? Mages and warlocks benefits way more from Azuresong, so doing that would be kind of a dick move and I doubt any decent players would play in a guild with such policies. Anyways I wish you luck if you decide to run a guild like that, I would personally love to see it

Snautz, by your own admission you said that you know very little about how Paladins function so I will take this opportunity to educate/illuminate you as to what we can do and not chew your head off.
Let me go screenshot by screenshot:
http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/222/zkw7.jpg- this fight shows the BWL Suppression Room and Broodlord fight
- Meista (geared/skilled Warlock) - Pascas (geared/skilled Warlock) - Coldstone (geared/skilled Mage) - Kriv (geared/skilled Warlock)
- these are the casters who
TRIED to keep up with my AoE dmg but couldn't
- because I was AoE tanking the entire encounter with Consecration, Force Reactive Disk and Reflective damage
- I don't need a single target taunt or AoE taunt when I'm putting out over 4K DPS
- I still ended up with just under 1300 DPS over the entire encounter even though I ended up
HEALING the tanks during the actual Broodlord fight
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img537/5531/dgSRfX.jpg- again right in the thick of things and showing 4K DPS while AoE tanking spider packs in Naxx
- Mediv (geared/skilled Mage), Rollinpapers (geared/skilled Mage), Coldstone (geared/skilled Mage), Pascas (geared/skilled Warlock
- the healers focused their heals on me

DOUBLE PALADIN POWAH- Cysthen (geared/skilled
PROT Paladin with me as
RETRIBUTION in his group to feed him Sanctity Aura
- the two of us combined to do 55% of the total raid dmg in these AoE fights in AQ40
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img540/3186/j0iMGu.jpg- again double Paladin AoE with Cysthen and I in BWL gauntlet
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img540/4845/gJwH44.jpg- aber AoE dmg/tanking with Cysthen and I in MC on Garr
- he tanked all of the adds while I AoE'd them down
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STIixkkOmms- this video shows the AoE and Reflective dmg potential we can put out
- this was done without Consecration to show exactly that
- plus I was PvP Reck spec when I made this video and didn't want to respec
As far as how things are here on Nostalrius, I AoE tank all 5/10 man dungeons fine and even end up top DPS while doing so even though I don't have Force Reactive Disk here yet.
Consecration + Retribution Aura + Grenades/Holy Water = lots of dead mobs
Hope this helps.
