Blizzard hates Paladins.

My guy, Justicar’s Vengeance is in the tree, we got a lot more problems than Blade of Justice, at least Exorcism is on there somewhere.

Exorcism as ANOTHER ability… on a 20 sec cooldown… not tied to Art of War… what a terrible decision decision. It is yet another key that needs to be bound, and we’re still stuck with BoJ as part of our core rotation.

It should have been 4 seconds even. I agree with an earlier post, if they want ret to be worse than it has been then maybe they should just get rid of the spec

I love BoJ lol

Yeah but…

Exorcism.

I thought that was cool that they put that back in, but with the way things have been throughout Shadowlands I have no faith that they’ll make it a powerful spell. And with our collective ret-paladin-luck most of the dungeons and raids won’t have undead in them, either

Its actually 4 second because we see the tooltip for 1/2 points

Yeah I noticed that after I posted it, lol. My bad.

Still hoping they replace Liadrin’s Fury with that Seraphim Proc and make Final Reckoning “upgrade” into Falling Sword. The dream…

I wish Ret pal get same option as Prot to reduce cooldown on Seraphim

The only cool thing Ret got was the ability to use BoS as a dps cooldown. Everything else in the tree is a major loss.
I can’t even see a build where you would take it as Ret either. You need so much on the right hand side of the tree, and all 11 points below the 20 talent line are essentially locked in with Mad Paragon and Sanctified Wrath/Seraphim.

It’s honestly hard enough to justify LoH with the current build and you definitely aren’t getting cleanse ever again.

At this point its pretty obvious whoever is designing Paladins doesn’t play them, because I’m sure even the LFR raiders know it’s been dead since Legion.

You got your exorcism back tho???

Yes, which is nice to have and the twist for it seems good, where it procs the dot on anything standing in Consecration, it gives good synergy between abilities.

But it doesn’t mean that there aren’t plenty of issues with this first iteration of the trees.
Best to point them out.

Weve lost more utility for the sake of damage. I dont understand how we had millions of abilities back in MoP, we were still undertuned in pvp and PvE, and now we cant even get a full aet of abilities, and utility.

Like, where are our buttons even going to? Passives? I love passives, dont get me wrong, but it really seems like were losing A TON of buttons we once had baseline for the longest time. Like, why is rebuke a talent, and cleanse toxins? Somebody please explain why were losing abilities that we once had baseline for the longest time.

holy moly man, we got exo back as as aoe nuke thats stronger than a base un buffed hp spender, with a dot that can crit, and buffed by mastery. what more do you want? its legit going to be the strongest non hp spender button behind ashes. it will be the strongest button if you take ruin

I want Exorcism to go back to its former role - as the replacement for BoJ. I did not want it to be a separate ability because then (1) I still have to use BoJ (I hate BoJ… horrible sound effect and no range) and (2) I have to find ANOTHER keybind.
