Nothing for Paladins yet again despite Stones campaign, no consultation and no fixes to the things we want to be fixed.

How long must we wait before they actually do anything?

I think SOE developers are not evil, but bad-tempered, bureaucratic, officious and callous. They wouldn't even lift a finger to save their own grandmothers from Trakanon without orders signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public inquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters.

Oh we're getting getting something - our dps nerfed and the heal/ward procs we can use to greater effectivness than our other counterparts due to +base heals and high heal crits mean we're also going to be taking a hit to our survibility.

Fine print... tis a killer :P

Em.......where does it say that?

A couple people (myself included) asked about Stonewall on SOE's gay little questions for a Dev thread for this month. I want to say like 3 different people asked the same question before the thread was closed. So keep posting on our thread on the Paladin forums and we can keep an eye out for when they post the answers to the feedback thread to see if they ignore it or actually address it.......

have any raiding paladins noticed a big drop in survivability with the gu52? My pally unfortunately doesnt get to raid so i cant test it.

Since it only effects item heal procs only if you use those items will you notice a difference the actual drop in raid suvivability will be low - you will see a greater drop in solo survivabiity when using those items outside of raids.

Post LU52 my Dirge is yanking aggro pretty much at will from raid geared Pallys unless I toss my hate song on them. PreLU52 my Pallys often parsed 10k'ish even in guild shard grinding groups, generally topping the parse with procs, etc... Thier DPS doesn't seem to have been that horribly impacted by the changes and they normally still out parse my dirge but, I never... never ever... had to pop hate songs for Pallys. WTF is up folks?

The amount of DPS loss is subjective to the amount of proc gear you had. Personally I lost quite a bit of dps cause i had a lot of proc gear. I was parsing pretty high (compared to any other paladin parses that I had seen) so the amount of dps i lost was significant. If you weren't really using much proc gear or parsing really that high to start with, obviously the drop off won't seem like much.

As far as the dirge getting aggro, is he using a signet of betrayal?

No signet of betrayal and, my regular Pally is/was a big procmonger. His DPS suffered a bit but, he's still parsing pretty damn well and quite regularly above my dirge even on mobs that pingpong (cloak hasn't been discoed on all servers yet and I swap around gear as needed). Heck my dirge ripped Nexona a couple of times while we were slumming VP on Tuesday and I was like WNTF!?! blam the aggro meter went from 40 to 100. I don't think it's just a Pally thing because it's happened with a couple of guards too but, figured I'd pop by and see what you guys thought or if you'd seen Dirges ripping mobs recently.

CoB and a dirges stoneskin procing is pretty bad for hate... main reason I often amend the dirge when tanking "the big stuff"... tho if a swash or equiv is in the group then I amend them and tell them to stop slacking.
