I've been wondering.
Although endgame issues are #1 and can inevitably effect our lower lvl brackets, I wanna discuss what we think rets need to become and what changes need to be made.
This is NOT a f2p vs p2p discussion thread, as the bracket will be balanced (scaling wise) pretty damn soon. No hate neither. So shut yer yapper.
A lot of you are complaining about Ret paladins and what they are capable of. But how do you differ them from the mobility and/or sheer power of a Feral, Boomy, or WW monk? Or the shear Brute force of an Arms warrior?
Retribution paladins, for the longest time, were almost to the point where they weren't a viable or completely beneficial class (minus their healing potential). Hardly anyone ever rolled one, and the ones that did never really complained. (we're talking f2p here. 24 rets demolished).
Now that we finally have the damage, and lets not forget, the most necessary holy power from judgment casts, we are finally a spec that is feared. But isn't that what every class needs? Intimidation? Or Nerfing to the point where they are no longer threat to your semi-decent and/or current op class. Just to make you feel a little better.
Here's what I think needs to go down:
What needs to stay- Judgement Holy-power gain, Long arm of the Law (both of which will prob stay anyway), and the damage.
What needs to nerf- Healing capability (maybe down by 20% or so)
What needs to be buffed- We need rebuke at lower lvl (60 sec cd for hoj wont cut it; those casts wont interrupt themselves), and Cleanse CD in bgs.
What needs to be changed overall- Boa damage/stats in comparison to a blue of equal level (Currently auto-attacking for like 350-400 in bgs), and Insignia needs to make the user immune to stuns/movement impairing effects for 2 seconds (popping trink and getting rooted or poisoned right after can be very bothersome and wasteful)
______________________________________________
I know this is unlikely, but this is what I think needs to happen. Again, however a class works at endgame inevitably determines the fate of a lowbie. (but rest assured, a lot of 90s are complaining about feral damage at endgame)
But this is a discussion about rets. Please keep it about so.
Polar bears vs hippos is fine as well.
