The recent changes to the Infusion of Souls trinket have reduced the Exodin theoretical DPS in P8 from 9k DPS to a paltry 7k DPS and it needs help
Twisting and Seal Stacking (both fast and slow) are expect to perform well at 14k, 13.5k and 10.5k dps respectively
many paladins do not enjoy 2 seal gameplay and Exo is the only horse in town.
Leogan is not strong enough to carry the entire build on its back and the 4pc/6pc need to add something for Exo paladins or there needs to be an ashbringer variant that saves the entire rotation
The Str effect and added base dmg on Leogan does very little to keep us relevant and I worry greatly about my performance in raid
I will also add this, I have no desire to switch to a dual seal rotation such as twist or stacking
I know the voice of paladins on wowhead and in the class discord keeps calling fast stacking Exodin but we largely disagree on this point and my goal is to keep a Mono Seal non Rune of the Seal Bearer Relevant and Viable (not doing 50% of the the other paladins dps)

Yep, basically this. For a good number of us Exo is the ONLY way to play so if there isnt a relavance to the spec or a use for it at all I just wont play my paladin. Twisting requires way to much focus on timers and Seal stacking is misserable. For someone for raid leads/helps with comms it is almost IMPOSSIBLE for me to twist even if i wanted to. I could stack but i would be misserable and eventually Burn-Out. There is no reason why we cant make this spec relevant, we dont have to be top but we should 100% be matched to Seal Stacking/Twisting, ATLEAST at the top end of gameplay. Please consider this

Yeah no. Exo can die as far as I’m concerned. Zirene has had to carry the spec every phase to keep it viable.

Exo deserves to exist as much as twist and stack
last phase changes were made to the tier to keep twist on top of all ret specs, im simply asking for a similar treatment for exodin to keep us performing in that 10% range rather than fall 50% behind
Instead of worrying about if your prefeered Paladin dps playstyle is better than the others or not, why don’t you worry about how equipping anything past 2 set with the new ret paladin tier makes you lose thousands of dps.
I am worried about that, and going from 7k dps to even lower is a very large concern of mine and why I proposed changes to the 4pc and 6pc to benefit all playstyles of paladins
why can’t I advocate for Exodin to be viable AND improve the class as a whole?
I don’t want twist to exist. Not unless they increase the 0.4 second window.
Twist had to be carried by boi, this is a non starter
Twisting is ret-tarded, its a bugged mechaninc that should have never been made a real rotation
