Must say I've never seen a Dev make a post about a specific specs "OPness" before.

Basically she says they're happy about rets damage output in general, but will probably be hotfixing their burst.

Are people really this stupid?

lol epic post on the link, thanks for sharing :>

lol nice thread.

Dear Slorkuz, if you have any way to interact with the developer team, please, remind them of something:

When all the whining struck in 2.0 Blizzard nerfed our 41 pointer. You know how it ended.
Now our 51 pointer has been turned into a warrior baseline skill. You can see how this is devastating for the paladin community's morale to take such a route.
If Ret paladin burst has to be fixed, there are better ways probably. Don't make our 51 pointer trash.
If such a solution is seen as a temporary fix to keep lvl 70 pvp somewhat balanced and will be lifted once WotLk is released, well, it's an understandable policy.

It had to be done.

One retri felt like 3-4 warriors in terms of stressful healing and incoming damage.

To be fair I have to mention that Boomkins and Mages put out some really nice pvp-burst aswell.

Whilst I share your concern about the 51-pointer I have to point out that retri is just as OP at 80 according to alot of beta-testers (check them US Beta forums).

While I don't really think that paladins hit that hard, they do have insane amount of burst damage. I really hope they fix it, because as it is now every class gets torn apart by it.

like you tear ppl appart with deadly brew? :p

Well... we had our 24hours of fame.

Now lets get back to the lolretri time.

I was almost going to feel sympathy, then noticed your class.

NERFED TO THE GROUND BABY

Yes, deadly brew causes awesome damage with taht crippling poison proc.

Ret burst is silly atm.
Mutilate is a lil much on no res targets, i can kill pve geared leather/cloth wearers in cheapshot, anything with above 200 res tends to be a nuisance.
Boomkin burst isn't exactly low either, starfall generally slaughters anything that cant heal.

It allows us to use one offensive poison, yes. It's hardly tearing anything apart. I don't even have it, so.

Do you guys have any idea how depressing it's to be a ret pally at lvl51 right now? Epic overpoweredness almost at my fingertips, but surely nerfed before I reach 70. :(

Translation, lots of classes have very high burst, but its ok for them not ret paladins, yeh seems a common opinion, sigh.
