Class Q & A Series / Paladin Community Team : Q : " Where do paladins fit into the larger scope of things currently and where do you see them going from this point forward ? " Q : " What is it that makes them unique compared to all other classes ? " Community Team : Q : " Specifically , how do we feel about the healing itemization for paladins thus far ? Do we still feel MP5 is as important as other stats such as Int , Crit , Haste , and Spell Power ? Are there plans to incorporate more of these other stats in later tiers of paladin healing gear ? " Community Team : Q : " How do we feel about raid - wide paladin buffs instead of limiting the buff applications per class , only ? " Q : " Blessing of Sanctuary is designed around providing buffs for tank s ; are there plans to re - work its design to provide added benefits for more than just tanking ? " Q : " Do we feel Flash of Light and the changes in store for it will allow for additional diversification for the existing healing spells available ? Aside from Holy Light , Flash of Light , and Holy Shock , are there any plans to provide paladins with other interesting healing spells later down the road ? " Community Team : Q : " All classes vary in dps from one encounter to another ; however , some paladins may feel their dps can be less competitive at times in comparison to other classes , more so in straight stationary single - target dps encounters . How do we feel paladins are doing in terms of dps across the board ? " Q : " Exorcism will be usable in both PvE and PvP once more which is great ; aside from allowing this ability to be used against other players , what were the reasons to go down this route in redesigning this attack ? " Q : " Consecration seems to utilize a sizable portion of mana per application of this spell ; do we have plans on making this a bit more mana - efficient ? " Community Team : Q : " Do we feel Divine Shield is fine in its current rendition versus other abilities such as Shattering Throw and Mass Dispel ? " Q : " Will it be possible to prevent Avenging Wrath from being dispelled as well ? This ability is the means to allow for on - demand maximum dps output for a brief period of time and only affects the paladin . " Q : " Do we have plans to introduce a stand - alone interrupt ability for paladins ? " Q : " With the slew of options to either " jump into " or " jump out of " PvP encounters for either offensive or defensive purposes many classes receive , do we have any plans to incorporate special abilities for paladins to either help them escape tough situations or quickly get into pvp battle ( i . e . Death Grip , Typhoon , , Disengage , etc . ) ? It seems paladins are the only class without a short cool - down ability on the same scale . " Q : " Ranged attacks are extremely limited for paladins and are not considered a primary form of dps . However , players feel they would like an ability that will aid them in bridging the gap between melee vs . ranged . Do we have any plans to implement something to this extent ? " Community Team : Q : " Do we have plans to incorporate a larger variety of Libram s ? " Q : " Do we have plans to incorporate Libram s as a more prominent aspect of the paladin class ? Also , can we expect to see Librams as a physical aesthetic item on the paladin ? Much like the quiver is for the hunter ( except only the hunter can see their own quiver mounted on their back ) . "
