Look what blizz done to palas... I mean wtf? I played the PTR and i just deleted him,i deleted my acc why to pay for sh## man they´r retardet now not retribution. I mean there´s no seal that can keep up with other classes. SoC suck now, thats what they wanted to unleash the palas unique burst damage.A pala without burst dmg is no pala. Its like pre TBC you could not see a ret running around i remember him only as stupid plate healer. SoC 36% dmg, thats for losers, SoR lolz... hit only 600 no crits, SoV &amp;amp; SoC u need to w8 until it stacks 5 times up. Lol and then u have some additional dmg that is nothing, you need again to duel player a half a hour.And wtf man i dont need repetance when the stacking dmg attacks unleashes it.There s no need to chose it then, only when u want repetance some mobs and watch how a minute pass.CS 75% man... i cant believe this sh## who u gonna kill then no CS no burst dmg, only some dots that appear on auto attacks lol,i mean it doesnt appear when u cast CS!!!wtf! Blizz wanted to end the burst dmg, what they dont know and what they notice in 2 weeks is that 300k players dont play anymore. I mean for what is a pala now,healer...i mean who wanna be a healer... Man, the pala is now a wallking stupid dot boat, 1-3 stacks, dispell, try again 1-3 stacks, dispell...and again..and again...thats how u gona fight in 3.2. Look at priests, discipline priests they´r just OP. U cant beat them,when i see a priest i just turn to another way. They just have the fck## power shield fortitude that makes ém invincible. Where´s our old good pala gone,o pala have plate, **** plate man.Now all classes are in 1 line like blizz wanted it.I dont remember that there was any Uber class in this game right? I´d liked the pala,fast,armored,high dmg output,heals... now theyre just like locks looking to apply that stupid dots that anyone can dispell,only add fear and there we have it=uber crap.Sorry to all palas i know how u feel,enjoy this 2 weeks if u want pwn ppl and say goodbye.And sorry im just mad at blizz, they relased wotlk just put up the hp so we can duel 10 mins man...No happy end for me this time. I mean WTF? It was interesting to play with a palla, he was so unique.cuz of him i like wow.even now u can notice lower pala dmg what gonna be in 3.2 crap? &lt;/p&gt;

In my opinion they shouldnt nerf the damage they should make it harder for the paladins to Create this damage so not every noob with rare gear can oneshot a true skilled player with Brutal gear... &lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://my.curse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=327987" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Achievements Update and Retribution Nerfs</title><link>http://my.curse.com/blogs/wow-en-news/pages/achievements-update-and-retribution-nerfs.aspx#327837</link><pubDate>Wed, 29 Oct 2008 01:03:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">045f8e2a-3b25-43b2-9769-9c60de2974e3:327837</guid><dc:creator>andreas1868</dc:creator><description>hello.. i got a rogue with 4 s4 pieces and venge weapons...ive been a pvper since iwent 70 lvl and i got about 8k games in arenas maybe more...one day i wake up and i see a retridin with blue gear bought from vendors against me in arena hitting me for 2,9k then 1,7 then 1k then 2k again ,,all crits...

And i have to be honest, aspects of the system is overpowered (and GC has mentioned almost all of them there). I know Im testing these at 70, and there are going to be differences between 70 paladins and 80 paladins, which is why I'm not going to QQ, but simply wait to see how it all works out. Its not my place to tell game developers how to make a game, i'm simply not qualified to do so.

Keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing what the future brings&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://my.curse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=327316" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Achievements Update and Retribution Nerfs</title><link>http://my.curse.com/blogs/wow-en-news/pages/achievements-update-and-retribution-nerfs.aspx#327264</link><pubDate>Tue, 28 Oct 2008 16:40:11 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">045f8e2a-3b25-43b2-9769-9c60de2974e3:327264</guid><dc:creator>Elanthil01</dc:creator><description>Why is it you people roll a class that, if you catch someone unawares, can kill with four buttons (bubble, stun, stun, attack), then complain so vehemently about other classes being 'op' that, to do the same thing, have to mash 12 buttons? :)&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://my.curse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=327264" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Achievements Update and Retribution Nerfs</title><link>http://my.curse.com/blogs/wow-en-news/pages/achievements-update-and-retribution-nerfs.aspx#327235</link><pubDate>Tue, 28 Oct 2008 16:02:02 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">045f8e2a-3b25-43b2-9769-9c60de2974e3:327235</guid><dc:creator>kingsknight1</dc:creator><description>Nice to have been able to realize some parity with other classes, even if it was for only a short time frame.  Thanks for the nerf!  Oh, can we expect the rogue, ms warrior and druids to expect the same type of nerfing?  I doubt it.  Parity between classes?  You have hardly come close.  I'll still play a Ret pally as it is my fav to play with.  Plus the challange to overcome the biased attributes Blizzard puts into nearly every other class (excluding Shamanns).  Go Druids!  That is the main toon of the developers, aye?&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://my.curse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=327235" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Achievements Update and Retribution Nerfs</title><link>http://my.curse.com/blogs/wow-en-news/pages/achievements-update-and-retribution-nerfs.aspx#327223</link><pubDate>Tue, 28 Oct 2008 15:56:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">045f8e2a-3b25-43b2-9769-9c60de2974e3:327223</guid><dc:creator>arenwolf22</dc:creator><description>I agree with the nerf. I can understand getting torn apart in battlegrounds at level 19 because of the twinks. But when I'm getting 3 or 4-shotted in level 70 battlegrounds, well that just doesn't sit right with me. I have a ret paladin of my own at level 36 right now. Even at such a low level, I can feel how I'm doing too much damage than any one person should be able to do in PvE. I can even recall at level 29 battlegrounds, I was killing TWINK ROGUES! An un-enchanted, level 29 retribution paladin beating level 29 twink rogues. As much as I enjoyed it, I knew it was wrong... even though I love killing twinks by myself, being that I don't have the patience to make my own.

But all in all, Retribution needs to be cut down to size. Push forward Ghostcrawler. You have my back.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://my.curse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=327223" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Achievements Update and Retribution Nerfs</title><link>http://my.curse.com/blogs/wow-en-news/pages/achievements-update-and-retribution-nerfs.aspx#327206</link><pubDate>Tue, 28 Oct 2008 15:36:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">045f8e2a-3b25-43b2-9769-9c60de2974e3:327206</guid><dc:creator>gypzygirl</dc:creator><description>I have many characters and have been playing for about two years now.  I think that everyone should have expected the nerf.  I was getting rocked by the ret pally's without getting a hit in- now they gave us a chance to at least get a hit in.  I appreciate that.  I even play a pally and I think they got way out of control and that balance, as close as you can get it, is very essential. Come on guys, their still sick. &lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://my.curse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=327206" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Achievements Update and Retribution Nerfs</title><link>http://my.curse.com/blogs/wow-en-news/pages/achievements-update-and-retribution-nerfs.aspx#327185</link><pubDate>Tue, 28 Oct 2008 15:17:01 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">045f8e2a-3b25-43b2-9769-9c60de2974e3:327185</guid><dc:creator>hopehammer</dc:creator><description>OH MAN!! i have been playing WoW for almost 3yrs, pallies have always been my fav class. I have dealt with the ups and downs of my class, not coming from blizz, but from other players that have denied me access to a prty because i was not a healer. I actually lvled as protection, because the Avwenging shield spell is sweet. I feel like captain america whenever i use it. But because of other players always downing the pally, i went solo and respecced to ret(after trying holy to get more rading time). Retribution is an awesome spec. Then we get buffed!!!!! I mean superbly BUFFED!!!! I have even been invited to raid with a new guild because i am not only a great dps'er, but because i am also a smart player. The nerfs will suck bug time. But i will still play my pally, wether solo or in groups, because my pally rocks. No mattter how many nerfs, my pally will always rock. Now, that is not to say i don'ty like the other classes. I have 1 of each class on the main server i paly on. Granted not all are 70, but they each play differently, and are not better than anyother class. They each bring there own flavor to the game. The new death knight will be awesome, and i will roll one, after i get my pally to 80! &lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://my.curse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=327185" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Achievements Update and Retribution Nerfs</title><link>http://my.curse.com/blogs/wow-en-news/pages/achievements-update-and-retribution-nerfs.aspx#327096</link><pubDate>Tue, 28 Oct 2008 13:34:06 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">045f8e2a-3b25-43b2-9769-9c60de2974e3:327096</guid><dc:creator>Mindjagg</dc:creator><description>OMG, You people kill me!  I have one of each character.  70's and on down the line. It is always something like " guess ill delete my new pally cause now they suk!!! "   Why did you create a "New" pally if you didnt think they were OP?  Hey, Blizz your doing fine!! rock on and keep the fun coming. By the way  check on the mage blizzard move cause my mage is MAD powerful with it! Just trying to keep it fair!
