Buff or change pallys play style pls devs

As I decided to main a ret pally since they were let’s be honest useless as were boomkins in original wow, I disliked the play style of fast weapon spam and exo spam didn’t think that’s how a pallys should fight but blizz solution was to either seal weave which is dumb AF and or do a huge nerf version of exo spam, now as I still do pump since I go typhoon,Hoj, ST tier and wildstrikes giving me a change to swing 4 extra times I hope they add something new besides hey learn to stare at a weapon swing timer and press 2 seals, and I get people will say 6 piece bonus from MC make seal weaving interesting which it will but when BWL tier set comes out they can’t just have the same thing :sweat_smile: they gotta add something new to pally or just buff there damage get rid of seal weaving

Seal twisting is literally the reason you should play paladin. Lol. Exodin is a lame excuse of a spec.

…I honestly have little to no idea what I just read, and I’m effectively an ambassador for walls of text. I’ll try, though.

Based on the title: The pally play style was buffed & changed. They gutted shockadin-lite exodin so pally tanks can actually play like, yknow, tanks, and ret pallies can actually play like, yknow, ret pallies. Exodin in P2 and P3 was like spamming Frostbolt or Shadow Bolt… but on every GCD instead of having a cast time. It felt terrible to press most buttons in combat because of how much damage you were funneling into Exorcism(again, even as a tank) and the AoW procs.

And as a tank main, that is mediocre at ret: You don’t have to stare at a swing timer to twist. You just need to have a slow weapon and be able to count to 3. You can even already twist, hit, and double Judgment in the 400ms window without the T1 6pc. I don’t get it perfect 100% of the time - again, mediocre ret - but even with just trying, my ST damage goes up a LOT with double judging while twisting. As long as you can count to 3 and have a weapon that’s 3.10 or slower, a good ret player could probably twist and double judge at near full efficacy with zero swing timer or add-ons. If you don’t like twisting, just don’t do it. You said you’re pumping, and that seems to be what you care about, so what’s the issue?

As for removing seal twisting: They did, between SoM and SoC, in P1. You could twist SoM and SoR, but not SoM and SoC. Then they re-enabled it in P3. Then they supported it more by allowing double Judgment, even without T1 6pc, as long as you time it right. Why would they remove something that was requested before SoD dropped, was disappointing to many that it was absent for the first two phases, and that they’re now actively supporting, even without any set bonuses? Why do you think they’d care even the slightest about your opinion more than anyone else’s?
