After dropping about 30 mobs in 1-on-1 combat, I had to stop and pop two whole holy lights on myself. That's 5 seconds of down-time! I heard paladins were supposed to have NONE!
Ohhh noez, just ZOMG. Or... . . Hehe, I feel with you, hehe. That I actually need to drink once every 10 mins or so, after 10 min of constant fighting :´|.
Lol, that is one of the reasons I chose a Pally as my second character. My main is an affliction Warlock, so I am quite used to no downtime. With Blessing of Wisdom, Seal of Wisdom and Seal of Light, along with thier judgements, I can grind seemingly forever. Its beautiful.
Well right now I'm fairly low (22) but I've gotten a pally to the mid-40's on another server. My mage has to drink about every 3 minutes unless I evocate...still my paladin didn't drink at all during an hour-plus long grind...
(Levelling a pally and mage at the same time and gonna have fun aoe grinding at 40). As a side note, my main's a BM hunter, she had no down time either.
I'm grinding as protection, with some descent gear. Eventhou my main is hunter, I've never had a xp pr. hour this crazy :P. Besides that, It's fun to be in the middle of the battle, instead of hiding behind a pet and just nuke away :D
It's liking starting to play a completly new game (going from hunter/dps to tank), can't wait to get home from work, find myself a group and have an instance p a r t y :P
