[Pantalaimon]

Since this is happening across the board to all healers, it's just a mechanical change that all healers will have to adapt to equally.

Well, that's just it. It's not equal at all - some healers just don't use downranking (trees), whilst some use it nearly exclusively (paladins, priests depending how they're assigned).

Anyways, the heart and the soul of the matter for me is that paladins are already, frankly, a crap healer. I'd rather have anything else - there is no situation I can think of off the top of my head where I'd bring a holy paladin if I had a choice. Basically, I'd hate to see them get any less desirable than they already are for top tier min/max raiding.

At this point, though, I'm finding it hard to get too worked up over any beta changes, just because it's a frickin' beta. So we'll see. But I completely and totally empathize with most of the holy paladin complaints - after all, I stopped playing a holy priest when they were really gimp :whistling:
