Are Ret Paladins as bad as people say?

My heart goes out to anyone leveling a Paladin in classic. Others have mentioned that it’s just judge/seal/afk for 10 seconds, but it never gets better than that. So so boring even by vanilla standards. Not to mention in a raid they’re just waiting for proc of command to elevate their damage from nonexistent to merely bad.

incorrect on all fronts…

The Spelladin - new Retribution meta for Classic

Courtesy of DexterBravo: Gear competetion - That T2 gear that every pally wants for PVP or RP, isn’t good for holy. But it is BIS (likely forever) for Spelladins. That’s 8 pieces of items that is Spelladin prio, which won’t be replaced in ZG, AQ, NAXX. That’s a lot of gear for happy warriors, casters, etc., that otherwise was wanted by the AP ret. Actually viable DPS most likely (none of us know how Classic will be tuned in the end). Much better than AP ret – more dps, more mana uptime…
