How can anyone acrually think paladin is OP? They have high burst dmg sure, but outside of bubble CD theyre so meh. Require full tier so theyre just EZ kills
Yea and pallies go right back to sucking as soon as SoD is over. So do druids. At least shams still stay strong in original Classic. And as for TWW or TWiW or TWaW or TWaWi or T2W or whatever else you want to call it…im sure paladins will get massive nerfs there soon enough. Total weaksauce in this version of Wrath too. I found some of my old PvP vids of me in Wrath doing PvP from my EU account American name different from EU name so cant merge accounts and cuz of the regions and all…but. I looked and pallies were so much better in orignal version of Wrath. Vids of me carrying people in prot spec in arenas and one shotting groups of people in BGs as prot, super powered rets. We didnt get that version of Wrath this time around. And I made my paladin I play now in Wrath but have diff name cuz Blizz still wont allow us to use non English letter characters.
Wrath Classic could have been so much better had it been JUST like the original, it would have caused Blizzard to have gained subs for sure. But na, pallies were weaksauce, shamans were the S tiers for all of Wrath Classic… they were good in original Wrath, but so were paladins and even DKs were so much weaker in this version too. Prolly cuz it was released on a custom balance patch that never existed in original Wrath.
Calling it now, rets get nerfed in TWW soon. Be F or D tier at best. And they expect me to waist my money on TWW things when they nerf paladins just as part of a sick joke. No WoW tokens for me. I have 8 paladins in SoD and only 3 shamans there.
You don’t know how to seal twist if this is an actual question.
I’ve had a ret paladin stun me, and set up a melee that procced 11 Seals of Matyrdom hits in two globals.
All the while a melee hunter is dodging 80% of my attacks and hitting my warrior harder then he’s hitting them. Makes complete sense.
good
the weak should fear the strong
You can do it too, cause ret isnt overpowered. You can only kill three or four of us during bubble duration. From a former ret to a current: you don’t actually have any talent, you’re just playing ret. l m a o
If a ret is catching up to 3 or 4 of you in a single bubble you need to kite better almost every class in sod except priest has mobility that would allow them to create distance with a ret and focus on someone else
Cries in mage
PvP is stupid and unbalanced in SoD - it always has been.
They won’t balance specific classes because they won’t. Their focus is on “new content” and updating items. It’s pretty obvious that none of the itemization and class bonuses were even thought about in a PvP sense.
They’ve had to nerf damage output and healing in order to bring some sort of balance but somehow hard casters like mages are still total dog poo in solo PvP. Our only chance before was to 2 shot you and run away and hide until our cds were back. Now we’re just vending machines and CC bots/off healers.
I farmed rank 10 on my mage and decided to call it quits for the time being. It just stopped being fun especially with all of the toxicity in BGs.
Moral of the story is, go play another iteration of WoW if you want balanced PvP. This isn’t it. Or roll a hunter/shaman/paladin and join in on the keyboard turning!
It’s amazing how many horde think they know what makes pally good. There are no pallys running t2 4 or 6 piece in pvp t2 2 piece t16 piece and yes it makes the class of because having those 2 piece of tier gives rets the maximum damage output they were always capable of and making it require very little skill… You could always seal twist and twist judgements it’s just u had a .5 second window to do it in
Considering they removed twisting judgement w/o 6 piece twisting just isn’t worth it
ya ive since revised what i was saying to 6pc coreforged (or t1) and 2 pc t2 OR reck build.
at least im pretty sure thats what it is.
either way ive maintained that they shouldnt be able to be immune to every cc/damage/purge other than balefire bolt while also being able to 2 global people.
there should be a 50% damage done nerf while the pally is bubbled along with the current 100% attack speed thing too.
ret is an absolute meme. This is the most broken, over-tuned, version ret has ever seen in wow. fix them
You obviously didnt play wotlk pre patch back in vanilla. Rets were legit gods.
Still no where near as broken as shamans! Dont see them walking around brm 1v3ing with ease
I’ve watched Alkavius (I think thats how you spell it) 1vX in BRM. He slaps…
The only thing that needs to be worked on is boomkin damage. Fix Mages. Warriors seem to be in a good place now that they are geared. If those things get fixed SoD will be ok.
Ive seen clips, no streams though.
Ziqo literally walks around brm as a goblin so he can take on both horde and alliance. Its just that easy for shamans.
Havnt seen a pally streamer do that yet
Give wars the oppurtunity to use a weapon other than BRE
His spec is strong versus melee… if there is no melee to hit him so he blocks and gets mana back. He is just as good a sitting duck. That spec is super boring.
i pIayed OG wotlk pre-patch. Not even close to how broken they are in t2 in SOD

If you think thats the case, i highly doubt you played wotlk pre patch vanilla.
1 shot kings and that was in arena with rating!
i dont even think you’ve ever played a paladin
Ok retail dude
yup, confirmed, you’ve never played a paladin outside of Season of Discovery.
