Scrolls of blinding light + Res ftw

Priests are really the nightmare match up for me. We don't have the interupts or the damage to deal with a priest playing defense/mana burning. Once we're burned out of mana, it's pretty much over.

Ferals tend to be tough.

At least against shaman we have the advantage of "your gear will break before mine will", and once they're broken we may be able to burst them down.

The druid came over and started hitting me but the shield kept me out of combat. There was a split second at the end where he could have stopped me, but luck was on my side and the res went off. I healed up the warrior and the rest was history. Like I said I don't really play a paladin so I'm not sure how common this is, but I certainly enjoyed the experience.

Is this actually true? I have never actually tried it, but in all of my experiences so far as a paladin, merely being pulsed into combat will interrupt your res.

You can be pulsed into combat while in a divine shield, this happens all the time, no exceptions. Taking any hit or being near a mob that decides to look at you will still pulse you in.
I'm 99.9% sure you made this story up, unless something changed recently with res + divine shield + arenas.

Unless this was an extremely rare, unrepeatable fluke, he is pulling our legs. If a player attempts to attack you while you have DS up, you are kept in combat.

The goal is to get them at low mana so they have to pull out of combat and drink. I than hide behind a pillar and rez.

Why would a warlock ever try to drink 1vs1 against holy pala?

About the only way I can think of for that to work is if the druid didn't faerie fire, didn't cast anything, and missed with every single melee attack.

Now like I said I don't play a paladin, but I assure you it did happen. Now I am pretty sure he attacked me while I was bubbled, but he may have just stood there and assumed he couldn't pulse me into combat.

The events were as follows:

-stunned him, and ran
-dropped combat
-bubbled
-cast res under bubble

I honestly didn't think it would work, but I got the res off. I can't tell you with 100% certainty that he did attack me, but I recall seeing a cat scratch at me.

I was trying to infer that that plan works against all casters who AREN'T warlocks. Warlocks, even at low life can still fear, life drain or mana drain, and than life tap/bandage/whatever choice of health/mana gaining abilities they choose to use.

I just tried it and it doesn't work. Ress cancels when you get attacked, the guy just chose not to attack you.
