Has anyone else read about those ret paladins the last couple of days on the forums?
2/3 of my last BGB games had 4-6 in the game. Must be perfectly balanced or sumthing idk.
No, what’s going on with ret paladins? Did they find a second ability to press?

Just severely overtuned. They got several pve buffs that carried over into pvp with this patch and have been menacing everyone as a result

Another huge problem is that their tier set is essentially unnerfed.
They get an additional charge of hammer of light and dawnlight and a 30% damage increase to both abilities.
The 30% damage buff is nerfed to 10%, but the second charge part is untouched.
Meanwhile warlock, for example, have their tier nerfed by 90% because the damage AND duration of the eye glare are both nerfed by 1/3rd.

akshully rets have the most defensives in the game to push
I think the more people talk about ret the more reroll it. But honestly they’re just a scapegoat. There’s a lot of unhealthy things wrong with the game right now and ret is just one of them. I wouldn’t even say they’re the worst offender. Ret is just the one that is being most played due to various factors, so we see more of them and complain more.
Just really weird on the devs part. This isn’t like something that would affect pve, since they can adjust things just solely pvp.
But for some reasons when it comes to ret they don’t wanna to touched them even when they are doing things much worse that Affliction in season 1 or Warr in season 2 but for ret they are keeping a “I don’t know what you guys are talking about” mindset or just outright ignoring everyone. And the whole holiday bs is pretty much null when they’ll come in for some specs and do an instant hotifx nerf right in the middle of the week.
Even supatease made a video on the ret outlook in all pvp modes and they are a huge percentage margin in almost every mode except for 2V2 across the pvp spectrum… To the point that you just can’t ignore it. That or the devs are simply favoring rets being this powerful over everything else.
The worst unhealthy part about this game/company is the way the developers choose to tune something almost immediately and let other slide. This is mirroring what happened in ret apocalypse mess.
Does the community really need to force their hand on things like this!!?? Do we need to plaster in twitter/discords. There’s evidence of how powerful ret is in pvp widely surpassing every other spec yet crickets. And it’s becoming a damn pattern at this point. Some specs receive nerfs prior to a patch releasing.
And don’t get me started on the whole mess with tier sets in pvp when they don’t adjust them according to how damn powerful they are.
That should be something the playerbase needs to start calling them out for.
Oh I can’t wait for the we nerf this for ret but we’re giving recompensation buffs to their other abilities 
hilariously mess at this point…
Herald was the go to spec for 2 seasons. It is also strong right now, but templar is finaly an equal option because of the 4p. If you remove the extra HoL charge it will be herald snoozefest till next exp again.
