Then you do not know paladin history or how the game was played back then

Or, you donât. Because what you said was a big ol bowl of wrong.
Or, you could just be trolling on the wrong alt and trying to rile up the forums.
When you said 2h was better than DW in Wrath then you clearly have no clue what you are talking about. Why do you think they made MotFW in Cata?
I would love a sword and board style dps class. It really is one of the few things that WoW is missing and this type of play style really appeals to me. I donât need it to be the top dps class but a solid dps class that has solid defensiveâs while using a shield with a decent block attributeâŠsign me up!! I really miss the gladiator talent that prot warriors had, I loved that play style. I donât care if people are âshockedâ at a shield class doing good dps. The more play styles that Blizz offers, the more players they will make happy.
To me there are 3 melee dps styles that are iconic. The massive 2h weapon behemoth (iâm okay with rogues using 2h), the furious dual wielding dervish (this can be all armor types including stealth users) and the more defensive, but still deadly, sword(or axe, hammer or spear) and shield wielding technician (this should be non-stealth). WoW has representations for 2 of those but the third is completely missing. I would love to play the technician class, someone that is more methodical in their approach than just spamming what is off cool-down. I would prefer this style with the paladin class but I would absolutely play it with any other class.

Glad stance should come back with warriors, and the paladin version should be 2-hand/sheild. That would be cool.

Retribution is a philosophy in combat style it is not a weapon style. Retribution is a Paladin who reaps Holy Justice on his enemies. No reason that canât be done with a one handed weapon.

Prot Paladins already do an unbelievable amount of DPS in raids. My CN guild had a Prot Paladin who was constantly top 3 DPS on 75% of the encounters.
