Ah here is the long tirade of the guy who knows better than anyone else.
So tell me then:
Do you know how much mana a ret paladin has?
Can you do something else while you’re dispelling a teammate?
Can you dispel on the go when you’re engaged in melee combat?
How many magic debuffs do you think you can receive in a teamfights and how long it is to dispel all those debuffs to only one player?
It takes 1.5 sec per magic debuff dispelled.
I’ll let you do the math when you have on your head flame shockx3, 4x shadow weaving, sw:p, void plague, corruption, immolate, fire bomb, moonfire, sunfire, etc…
It’s so easy to blame ret players because they don’t dispel you.
It’s not Ret’s fault if nearly all the nasty debuffs in the game are magic.
It’s not Ret’s fault if in its kit there is nothing like abolish magic (because there is abolish poison/disease and totems of course).
It would be great if all priest’s debuffs were diseases, all druid’s debuffs were poison, all warlock’s debuffs were curse only, etc… But unfortunately it’s not.
I’m just tired of players who come on forum while pretending knowing everything when in reality they know nothing.
- Players don’t say 99% of boomkin/feral don’t know how to play because they’re not not removing poison or curse (most of them don’t).
- Players don’t say 99% of mage don’t know how to play because they’re not removing curse (most of them don’t).
- Playeres don’t say 99% of shadow priest don’t know how to play because they’re removing disease or dispelling magic debuffs (most of them don’t).
Yesterday, with my elem shaman, I did 5 non premade bgs in a row and was with 2 boomkins / 3 mages and none of them dispelled curse of tongue on me and my elem teammate while we put poison cleansing totem and disease cleansing totem to wipe their selfish a$$ from VP and rogue’s poison.
Made some bgs with my hunter a few minutes ago, the last one there were 2 boomkins / 2 shadow priests who let me die full of dots right next to them. No dispel, no heal.
I died so many times because of dots. They were focused on killing enemy players while I tried to slow / roots / scatter all the guys chasing after them.
Should I start a new urban legend saying 99% of boomkins, mages or shadow priests are bad because they don’t know how to play their class?
Or maybe it’s more common to accuse Ret players of being so-called noob and not knowing how to play their class…
It’s so easy to accuse ret of being noob because players love to hate or despise them (lolret / retnoob / etc…) because they think Paladin should be the nice healbot/dispel bot slave they want 'em to be and this regardless of its spec.
It’s so easy to blame ret players by absolving yourself of any responsibility.
But funny part is many of those blamers do the exact same thing i.e. no heal / no dispel / no support. How many rogue/warrior/mage/etc I see every day in random bgs chasing enemy players instead of helping their teammates who are engaged behind or focusing the right target you know assist dps) and then scream HEAL/DISPEL/SUPPORT MY SELFISH A$$ NOOB!1!111!1
In reality every class has its share of noobs it’s not exclusive to ret.
But you’re right point your finger at ret players is the best thing to do because it’s the ideal culprit.
Players prefer blaming ret because… Well… Ret.
Excuse me it was a demonstration? Damn I thought it was just a $hit show.
In organized teams with vocals, ret players help their teammates like any other player.
In random bgs it’s different because noone cares about ret so why would they care about you?
