Ret/warrior 1v1

Considering the new changes with 8.1, who should theoretically win in a equal skill equal gear 1v1. Ret or Fury?

Ret easily unless the Fury is blood elf and can purge Blessing of Protection during enraged regen. Then idk.

If you lose to any class 1v1 as a retardin then you have bigger problems.

Oh look another Rogue complaining about Ret who has clearly never played a Ret paladin before, who also devolves to namecalling right off the bat for no discernible reason.

Although many people say ret is bad, it is, in fact, a good and solid class.

Disagree? Six second stun!!

It’s a strong class, no doubt, we have enough “power”, but I would argue that it’s budgeted very poorly, making just about every matchup we have (in 1v1, though we all know the game isn’t balanced around it) extremely one sided. We either plaster our target with zero effort or we basically never touch them, depending on what class they are.

Call me crazy but I think every class should have a chance, within reason, to stand against any class in a 1v1, it’s just more fun that way for all sides, no one likes losing by default, and I’d wager most people don’t like winning by default either, it’s boring…

I also don’t think they should balance all PvP around 3v3 when the overwhelming majority of PvP takes place out in the world and in 10v10+ BGs… But maybe I’m the weird one for thinking they should put balance focus where the majority would benefit, not a tiny minority.

If you’re having a rough day and you just want to get your poops out and kill a guy or a thousand guys… ret paladin, I prescribe it

If you for some reason don’t have bubble or BOP that should be the only time you lose. Otherwise, you should never be afraid of a warrior.
