Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kichwas" data-source="post: 4291996" data-attributes="member: 891">I'm starting to think Dragonborn make better Avengers than protectors because of the breath weapon issue. Essentially, it becomes a racial power that they aren't able to maximize.Con bonus to Healing Surge is rough for a paladin. After you max out Str (or Cha), then Wis, your next step is Con, and just how high can get it after the other two... To be honest when I read that racial power on Dragonborn I came away thinking it was underpowered. Even if you had high Con, like a fighter, even at 18. Is a +4 to healing surge really equal to what other races get?I'm a little disappointed that there aren't more Str based paladin powers. It reminds me a bit of the situation in Warcraft, where there's a notable bias in the abilities for Protection over Retribution. I just hope that Avengers play out as strong as Protectors (unlike the situation in WoW - where the only good paladins at endgame are Protection line, the class making poor raid healers and poor damagers).Remember that for a Protection based paladin, Cha adds to to-hit for the at-wills, so they shouldn't have any trouble laying waste to minions. Add to this powers like Radiant Pulse (and the other level 9 dailies which hit everyone in burst), Just Action, Challenge the Unjust, Righteous Inferno (pretty much only useful for swamps of minions as it damages on a miss at burst 2 - useless otherwise as any survivor will flee and avoid you until you turn it off, defeating the point of being a defender), and others.</blockquote>
