I don't want to bitch and moan about this a lot so I won't post about it again after this unless there is some reason to continue the discussion but I feel a need to express just how sucky this is.
I played my pally again some this morning with the depressing realization that I shouldn't use flash of light when I'm grouped with anyone who might draw agro from range. Well, using it to prevent casters from being attacked is pretty much the whole point of using it in the first place. So basically there is no reason to even memorize the spell anymore.
I am now having seconds thoughts about even playing the paladin because flash of light was always such a key spell for paladins. Paladins being unable to use flash of light is comparable to a druid being unable to use snare or a magician being unable to use his pet. The insane agro it generated and the ability to basically forbid blinded mobs to run over and start hitting a caster or healer was the saving grace of playing a pally over a warrior.
Yes, eventually pallies get stun to help with agro but, damn, this just ain't right and it's definately not classic.
