Did you really need to make a second thread crying about the exact same thing?

Foot speed. Why do I have to spend coin on swift pots waiting for the bubble to end? That’s not my mechanic. The Pally should take some accountability for being a temporary god. 
But as a consolation prize….LAP and Swift pots should not use the same CD.
Woah wait, you’re THE arkaviun from the video?!?

Bro it’s a 10 yard range… you have a longer range stun than paladins…
We are paying the price of noobs picking up paladins as their main class. As old a habit as wow is a game. Seal twisting is considered extreme skill cap for some reason
I think Pala’s need more Mana or less cost on heal, a little less burst damage and also move the set bonuses to pvp gear as well. stupid to be stuck with pve gear the rest of SoD. that way you survive longer with more stamina, but bursting someone down in a few seconds without the opponent getting a chance to defend is stupid no matter what game or class we’re talking about. That goes mostly for Rogues, Pala’s, Druids and Hunters.

No one geared correctly is getting bursted down without any chance to react/defend. Maybe a rogue that stunlocks you without a trinket. But that is 10 seconds of being stunned.
Paladins are forced to run around with alot less HP than most classes. That is not a weakness?

Arkaviun is someone with a broken class easily able to 1 shot pshero playing rogue and xaryu playing mage on SOD, and will say they’re just bad lol
It’s really that funny
So if a warlord in sod gets 1 shot he’s just bad. Even if he’s a top echelon ranking gladiator in many seasons of arena retail
Paladins are broken 1000%
Once the broken class is fixed, you’ll actually need real skill to win a 1v1 like a paladin in era or retail
You can’t have an expectation to hit more than a warrior, when you have bubble long range stun/incapacitate and ease of full heal. If you wanted to have that top dps for paladins, you’d have to give warriors full heal also
Defensive to Offensive ratios must be met by the sod dev team
wtf did you even just say right here? Are you a bot? Were you created at Build-a-BUM workshop?

It’s not a rocket science equation when I talk about defensive to offensive ratios balancing
You cant 1 shot and just full heal whenever
Once paladins gets fixed, you’ll need real skill to win a 1v1 just like in era and just like in retail
You are 100% a malfunctioning AI. There is no way.

I eat Arkaviun for breakfast I Dont know how you cant defeat him as a Warrior…
1v1? Are we actually caring about 1v1? This is a group based game…
Try to kill a decent mage as a ret paladin mate. It’s impossible.
Your equation is not rocket science because you forget a lot of variables.
A simple one is the ability to stay on target. You have 2 charges, a hook, a slow and a myriad of stuns if you play prot. Paladin has no slow, a weird speed boost on a 45 sec. that works well under bubble but that’s about it (since you can still get slowed and in BG there’s always a hunter trap around flags).
Not to count the fact that all our tools are dispellable.
Once you add that to your dumb equation you understand why paladin must burst more than warriors. It’s all about uptime.
To be also noted, even if it’s been said a few times but you’re too dense to understand, that Ret burst as in the video you linked is entirely dependent on a full PvE gearing.
I’m a PvPer at heart and don’t even play 8/8 PvE set cause it’s too squishy for me. Even then I have to use 4 part T2 to get the bonus set and do decent damage.

Only the average parse is bad. If you look at 95th, 99th, max DPS percentiles, Paladin is one of the best classes. That’s for a few reasons
- Seal Twisting (the best spec) is skill intensive. People do play other specs like Exodin, which performs worse, and those logs hold back the average from being higher.
- Paladin is the most reliant on World Buffs, gaining over 35% more than any other class from these buffs.
- Paladin is the most reliant on Wild Strikes, giving us over 23% of our damage.
- Paladins in less well-rostered raids will need to dispel on Chromaggus, and can’t perform as good with Burning Adrenaline on Vael - these fights are included in the statistics chat but removed from All Stars.
- Paladins are extremely reliant on Tier 2 set bonuses, combined giving well over 1,000 DPS. We are balanced around having these.
Lots of those logs include people who have wiped and lost buffs, play Exodin, don’t have Tier 2 yet, don’t have wild strikes, or are playing poorly. We have the biggest variance from the worst parses to the best parses, which is why our average is so low. But if you look at the best raids and players, Paladin shreds in PvE.
Bubble got nerfed so everyone can stop complaining about us in PvP now right? We’re only dominant in World PvP, where any burst class is dominant, or any class who gets the jump on you… In Battlegrounds the meta is having 15k health, where Shamans and tank specs dominate. We really need Wild Strikes (again over 20% of our damage) to be strong in Battleground.
