Witness the world-shattering destruction wrought by Deathwing in the Cataclysm Classic Announce Trailer, directed and produced by Hurricane and his team. As ...
My wife and I built a couple of holy paly twinks and we could defeat the entire enemy team at the graveyard in Warsong Gulch. It was ridiculous. We had a one-shot kill spell every few seconds, and a one-shot full heal spell too, and they were the same spell. Between the two of us there was absolutely nothing the enemy team could do.
It was quite literally unfair how insane paladins were in Cata. I loved every minute of it. Healing people, holy shock procks, kill flag carrier in 1 click, go back to healing. It was so dumb, I miss it.
Even ret pally was stupid bursty. I remember dueling one on my rogue at level cap, had him down to about 2% health through a series of stun-locks and good positioning, and he cast his heal which took about half a second, healed to full, and hit me for 90% of my HP with one spell, instantly killing me. WoW has always had at least one broken class. When I finally realized that was intentional to keep people rolling new toons and grinding it killed some of the magic for me. I ended up quitting in Panda, went back for the next xpack and played that to level cap, then quit for good when I became completely frustrated with the state of CC in PVP. Even still, I’ve never had more fun in any other game than I had in WoW. Azeroth was a second home for me for several years.
It was insane. I have a similar story with a troll rogue. Dude had insane hp regen and it was basically my mana bar versus his skill at disengaging to regen. Got down to 2% health and finally got a proc off on him to end it. He died in one hit that was around 280k I think? It was nuts. I was a healer. Azeroth was my place too. Lok’Tar Ogar!
Ice lance! Ice lance! Ice lance! Oh also, ICE LANCE!
There was some nasty builds out there during Cata. My Light stayed them all.
