Ret Pallys Are The Best

#1 » Post by Archenemy » 21 Feb 2011 06:23

Many ppl say that ret pallys are garbage, that rets get pawned easily, I tend to disagree. As a Ret Pally I've fought several pallys whether it be in BG or while lvling just about every prot or holy pally I come across I killed [within a few lvls of me of course]. Ret Pallys are so amazing in doing mass amounts of DPS real quick. Prot pallys are made for tanking, buffed on armor, they dont do very much DPS as a ret pally i have armor pent, bye bye prot pally. Holy pallys....ah the healers :P if ur busy constantly healing ur gonna run out of mana before i run out of weapon swings :)
So with these statements I say us Ret Pallys Rule and Will Always Rule

Every class/spec is good in some way if you know how to play it. I don't know much about ret pallies but I know you can't be a good one if you stack armor penetration.

Also: A good prot pally knows to increase more than simply armour (newbie mistake), INCLUDING DPS (since a high DPS makes you generate more threat in PvE).

Retribution paladins used to be OP and really good at DPS back at 3.1.3. As nerfs have come, the ret burst doesn't exist anymore. Hybrid classes tend to fill all roles, but they will never be better on the ones witch are focussed at some role. As Roel sad: "Every class/spec is good in some way if you know how to play it."

@ Roel yes that is true that stacking complete armor pent will make you a bad ret pally. How I gear my pally is balancing Strength and Armor Pent, it may not be the correct way to gear one but I dont care, I pawn with it :)

Ret paladins typically should stack Strength and Critical Strike rating.

With some Resillience in there too for some survivability.


Prot paladins should only be stacking Strength and Critical strike rating.

Resillience isn't needed as much, you have so much survivability it's ridiculous.

Boring...maybe, basic...yes, easy to play...NO. Ret pallys are easy to "play" like "control", but when it comes to PvP..its a hole other story. Its not a spec that requires skill to play, it just requires brains and comun logic, no misteries are going to be discovered about ret any more. Every thing that it possible with it, has already been discovered. Sad thing is that ...its a very limited spec, thats what makes it hard and, against some clases, even impossible to play in pvp. There is just no other class agains wich ret can Dominate no mater how skilled the other player is.

hehe....in case you havent seen me in action healing i can stand around and spam heals forever and never go oom especially against ret pallies.

i.e. i was on my usual soul saving patrol 1-2 months ago when one of the many souls i saved came to horde and started QQing about it saying "you're gonna get yours soon". 10mins later said person comes along with a lvl 80 ret pally named Shui who spent well over 10 minutes trying to make me go oom only to see me constantly over 95% mana while he/she went oom 3 times used 3 bubbles and used Avenging Wrath twice before eventually fleeing ^.^
