I do not think that the nerf bat needed to hit so hard or at all in some cases(seals mostly).<BR/><BR/>I have a hunch that blizzard is going to try to make ret into something I dont want it to be now... mainly, a hybrid dps/healer. ATM I end up filling a "healer" roll in raids and instances(although I still DPS at the same time and only spot heal and use divine storm/JoL) and in arena my burst is so low compared to my partner that it is better for the team if I just sit back and heal after I do my initial burst instead of keeping the "squeeze" on the focus target(especially with arcane mages that can blow down anyone in 3-4seconds).Keith Bairdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10841403633714794897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-69792626408801405262008-11-03T05:49:00.000-08:002008-11-03T05:49:00.000-08:00Well...anyway...Seals procing off specials is fine...Well...anyway...Seals procing off specials is fine. If they didn't, there wouldn't be much point in having the seals at all for ret imo. /endcarebarepostsorohandoesntdeleteitAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-12662862099070428102008-11-02T18:13:00.000-08:002008-11-02T18:13:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-23640085634696874042008-11-02T01:53:00.000-07:002008-11-02T01:53:00.000-07:00All these changes at the 11th hour of beta.

Seriously? <BR/><BR/>As a Healadin they might as well make AW not apply to healing anymore because you really won't see me use it now. I love it when the Ret changes have fallout on the other two specs because it isn't enough for Ret to be hated by other classes but other Paladins as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-69454605304799885752008-11-01T22:07:00.000-07:002008-11-01T22:07:00.000-07:00I think you may be on to something, Rohan, but I s...I think you may be on to something, Rohan, but I still think that they mainly let things get to this point because they had to deal with the bugs first, before they had to admit that the assumptions they made were faulty to begin with.<BR/><BR/><BR/>And to be honest, I would not say that it's easy to nail Retribution damage. The fact that Ret is based almost entirely on burst damage means that you have to make a lot of assumptions in order to model expected damage.RJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10492971146589461692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-73479349765964371882008-11-01T21:16:00.000-07:002008-11-01T21:16:00.000-07:00i mean how many core changes has happened since 0....i mean how many core changes has happened since 0.5? 5 or 6 pure mechanic changes, talent additions, etcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-1145909991463446822008-11-01T21:13:00.000-07:002008-11-01T21:13:00.000-07:00totally irrelevant changes happen, instead of fixi...totally irrelevant changes happen, instead of fixing the core issue they make class wide nerfs without any thought at all<BR/><BR/>divine shield just needed changed from swing speed to damage, there is no reason why such a defensive talent should have such an old mechanic of damage reduction output tied to itAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-58700180302805228402008-11-01T20:48:00.000-07:002008-11-01T20:48:00.000-07:00not to mention everyone said ret was OP on beta. ...not to mention everyone said ret was OP on beta.
