MELLINS 10 REASONS TO PLAY A PALLY[]
Posted at 01/31/2008 03:42:32 AM PST
EDIT: I CONDENSED EVRYTHING INTO TEH FRIST POST FOR U ALL
Hello, MY name is Mellin and I maked a Pally 4 the follwoing RESONS:
1. Bubbel
WE HAVE IT, ITS GOOD. We can protcet ourselvs with it and make everyone else angry! "RARGH! I WANT 2 HITS YOU BUT I CANT! DAMN UR BUBBEL!" "HA HA IM A PALLY U GIT OWNED" Sumtimz we ovar estinate it tho and run into 345 alliance (or hord if ur OLD SKOOL) and then bubbel to heal, even though evry1 around us is redy to make us look like teh NEW GUY IN PRISN.
2. HEEL
Othar ppls have it, but i liek ours better. ITS FAST! Witout a fast heal wat happens? tank is dead. WHO LIKES DED TANKS? NOT ME. Also, it retarns mana and prists say "wtf man why am i oom" and we say "LULZ NUB L2PALLY" but tehy dont because some ppl dont have the patience to autoattack stuff to death.
3. FREE HOARS
not the sexy kind LOL! the ones you use a saddal with. It has metal on it and is FREE, othar classes say "WTF i pade like 2340g for mine, why do u hav urs so fast!?" and we say "HAH PALLY PWNER BWNR FREE HOARS" some ppl say it has a skirt and skirts are fir grls, but grls dont play wow (at leest not good looking 1s LOL) so THERFOR ar hoars is a boy.
4. VERSABILITY
we can TANK sometimes and HEEL sometimes and DPS if ar gild is full of nubs! crusadar strike hits HARD and FAST and evrybody says "OH MAN I FEEL LIKE A MUSLIM IN TEH OLDEN DAYS" because it hit them so hard. (or a muslim now vs ignoramaericans! LOL!)

NOW as a PALLY i can smash hammrs on peoples heaeds ALL THE TIME and they sit there saying "WTF MELLIN THATS MY MELLON!" LOL!
9. AURAS CRUSsadeR aura is ASWESOME. Evrybody gets to run FASTEr when theres MOBS or ALLIANCE 9or horde if ur OLD SKOOL! LOL!) chasing u! or if ur just in a SUPER HURRY to get to ur hardcore T4 content kara run 4 some purpls! DEVOSHIN aura makes yor armor harder by like r234234 so nothing can hurt you, not evn GOD. RETRHD.. REDTRIB... RET AURA makes you hurt stuff whats trying to hurt YOU. its ike THORNS but bettar becuz no duration and ur not a leafy druid. LOL! CONSENTRASHIN aura makes you cast bettr for when ur HEELING. 35%%%% of no pushback from taking damange in case ur tank is a nub! LOL!
10. PLATE ARMR cloth is the wrost armor in teh game. evrybody makes fun of clothys becuz they go down fastr than hillary clinton at a lesbo bar on a friday night! LOL! LEATHEr is for rogues and leafy durids, also for the lesbos at that bar! HAHA! MAIL is for huntards and shamans, but mostly huntards becuz they take evry piece of !*#*ing gear that evr drops.
