Care to elaborate on batching and seal twisting?
OP
OP
Thanks, though these days I don't have as much time to social engineer GMs and find fun exploits
, but I do pen-testing for work now which shouldn't be too surprising.And no, I think Zuty made it for me a billion years ago, I'm keeping it.
I think I will end up making a new Warrior. Human is probably wasteful so I think I'll roll a Gnome Warrior. As fun as Enh Shaman sounds, I do think in the end I'd rather make a Warrior for premades than just drool over WF proc 1-shots.
you start in seal of crusader ( less damage but 40% faster attacks ) and swap to seal of command right as you hit - that swing will gain the benefit of the faster attack + have a chance to proc seal of crusader and also making your next attack gain the 40% faster attack.
So you can ( if you get lucky with procs ) get 5 hits off withen like 3 seconds - its alittle hard to do all the time but when you get it and you get procs you fucken rip cunts. Throw in a HoJ for double judge damage and you can do some nice burst with it.

Yea dude, escape artist is SOOOO fucken good for warrs its like a mini BoF
Hmm, looks gimmicky but effective, just like Enhance. Even mastering that there's no way you will touch Enhance burst potential though. Also Ret vs Enhance is a terrible matchup for the Paladin, hurting it's rank on the 'PoD Tier List'.
Ret Paladin offers very little utility, being that using BoF on anyone else is not really an option and your only CC is on a one minute timer. Shaman has Mana problems of course but purges, shocks, and totems are actually pretty cheap to cast and make all the difference.
All that aside, Warrior is tops when we it comes to selecting a PoD wielder, no question.
P.S. Escape Artist like a mini BoF? Come on, the thing has a cast time lol.
im not talking about utility or how seals can be purge making rets rubbish as fuck, all im saying is having a 5 hit combo ( although semi tricky to pull of all the time ) is better ( in my books ) than just auto swinging and waiting for WF procs at least you have buttons to press. at the end of the day ret is pretty dogshit in classic but its time is coming - i just hope batching and seal twisting stays in game when BC comes and if we make it that far Wotlk.
On the burst thing, ive seen 700+ autos and 600+ Commands on my ret with 500+ judges ( when HoJ is on ) that potential burst from pallies can be nasty if the stars align. The combo can be done withen a HoJ stun - double hit, double soc and 1 judge.
It is pretty wonky but you have more control over it than you do with auto attacks and waiting for WF to happen. Thats the reason i say pallies kinda get better use out of it ( if only on paper )
The cast time on EA isnt even worth worrying about its so fast it shouldnt even be there and id MUCH rather have a on demand personal casted mini BoF on my warr than anything else a ally warr could offer except maybe stoneform but thats just me.

This makes me want to try a ret but I really don't wanna waste a PoD to theorycrafting if seal twisting ends up being dogshit compared to a Warrior.
Ret is pretty dog shit in classic not going to lie - purge owns them so much, its fun but its not warr fun
Why not a holy PoD Paladin with 55 healing?
Because not worth imo but don't let me decide what you can't do.
Real talk, why Human? Gnome is the move.

Yeah that was just a mistake, I'm probs gonna reroll since he's only 20-something, I'm just that lazy.
