Read description. One of their roles is “damage dealer”
Play game (That was designed in 2004 and had some shortcomings)
Erm, you’re not SUPPOSED to deal damage as a paladin. You know they designed it this way right? You know that classic is meant to be literally only warrior capable of doing anything right?
20 years, 5th iteration of the game, people clinging to the nostalgia of highschool still think #Nochanges is a good idea
They changed Paladins for TBC giving each faction their respective abilities. It would not be hard to make minor tweaks to allow Paladin (and other dps classes for that matter) to NOT BE A JOKE. Warcraft logs is 95% warrior and nothing else.
There’s already a version where Palas do a bunch of damage. It’s called sod.
Paladins do damage in vanilla, it never said anything about the damage meter rankings.
No it isn’t
You guys can get bent. You knew exactly what game you signed up for playing fresh. This is not the second sod where they’re balancing classes as the phases go on. Wait for the next seasonal where their goal is to make class changes and give input there.
You’ll be accepted into raids amongst the majority of the population who cares less about parsers and clearing bosses 25 seconds faster on a 20 year old game.
SOD is changed on a massive scale to the point the game functions different. Wanting basic changes to allow the game to function AS IT WAS DESIGNED TO BY THE DEVS is fine.
The elitism of the nochanges crowd on the FIFTH release is nothing short of borderline Stockholm syndrome
Well they gave everyone exactly what they asked for. Many of which asked for exactly what you are here.
Sure it is, on the next seasonal server where that is their goal, class changes. That’s not this server.
You don’t have to play this. You aren’t being forced.
Nobody’s being elitist. We waited 5 years for a fresh as regular as possible. We had to wait out the entirety of sod. You can either fall in line or quit/play sod
Have you seen the classic community. A bunch of thirsty nerds who make sure you dont step foot into a raid without every world buff possible. ITs like people got worse at the game over the years
Same thing i said in one of his other threads. Ret talented Paladin deal more damage than the other specs, effectively increasing their damage output making a “damage dealer.” All damage dealing specs can meet benchmark which is what the game was balanced around. Not everyone has to be like a warrior. His issue is with the community.
Why do people think if you aren’t the top DPS you can’t do damage? Heck smite spec priests can do damage. Ret pallies are fine and do damage. Just turn off the meter’s/parses or whatever and don’t worry about what everyone else is doing.
I really want to play elemental shaman, but you OOM in 10 seconds and scale like crap. I ALSO think some changes should be made, so people can play ele, enhancement, ret, shadow, etc. in raids.
In about a year. Whenever TBC Fresh ends up dropping. The changes to classes you get with TBC, specifically.
If I’m that impatient to play one of those specs in a raid until then, I can just go back to SoD and level a character cap super fast and start gearing up & raiding.
the game doesn’t need to change so that you feel good about your bad choice ranking on the sweat website. get over yourself and accept that you don’t do great dps or reroll a class that does (warrior)
edit: as a sidenote, you can do any content as any class, class changes aren’t necessary
I haven’t raided in Era; did Nightfall ret end up being a thing in Era/SoM? Or was it a meme?
If it wasn’t a meme, OP could even be a token Nightfall ret in a raid.
