what about smite priest?
I usually block em, but not before I make my point. Pretty sure Esfand did play beta. I know he played original Vanilla WoW.
Regardless of whether or not you think Esfands opinion is worth anything, many others do value his opinion, and the opinion of other ret paladins, who have come to the same conclusion:
You don’t release a game on an end patch where Paladins are balanced around a tier bonus, and not expect problems.
That’s it. End of story Auril. Got nothing else to say to you.
Nobody cares about a peasant green parser opinion. Esfand is a literal laughing stock in the ret community
thank you for justifying our buff
dks could actually parse 60 and beat 99 parsing rets
Well I’m an orange parser. 99.2 parsing in naxx, going to be there for ulduar too.
This is a nice buff.
Reported for trolling
Report all you want, you’re still a nobody.
Thanks for proving how pathetic you are
Honestly… valid.
for our patchwerk we killed him just a little too quick, i ended up using wings about 7-10 seconds before the pull so i could get the benefit while also having more uptime on it in execute
Dude’s activity is filled with the most toxic garbage posts ever. Glad I blocked him.
I still think this is a strange buff. I think it would’ve made more sense to give a flat % boost on all damage to anyone who steps into a raid with Divine Storm specced.
They could’ve still kept the Vengeance changes with that, and that would have been less work overall, and less intrusive to the glyph setup.
With that said, I appreciate the attention they gave us.
Better to start small, see if it is enough and go from there than to blanket buff and have to scale down.
Nothing feels worse than having a part of our kit nerfed… coughsinDK
But it feels like the opposite thing is happening. A 5% buff to all damage seems less intrusive than giving us a non GCD 8 sec nuke. The former doesn’t change our rotation or alter our glyph setup, and can be scaled up/down as necessary.
I don’t know, maybe I have a completely bad take.
I mean… if you cast the spell on CD it can be a 500 dps increase on the low end. Since we are parsing between 7-8k single target thats more than 5% increase. Its not insignificant.
Wings/conc glyphs are way lower value. Its a good buff.
Thanks for letting us know. We are all deeply moved.
I really appreciate you guys. Something like this is what many of us Rets were asking for. It was never about spiking us to the top, it was about diminishing just how far behind we were from every other class.
Thank you for listening. You’ve made my day. <3
Okay. Now fix ignite munching, please.
go ahead and ban bots. they’re ruining PVP, which means it directly impacts hard mode Ulduar, too. don’t ask me how.
Your guild name is amazingly ironic.
Oh no, you misunderstand. I don’t disagree about the projected DPS. This will absolutely be a buff.
I’m more concerned it’s a buff that’s hard to manage after the fact (from the developers perspective).
We have no way of knowing how this is going to impact TOGC or ICC. Whereas a 5% DPS increase is certainly more managable.
True. Still though if it needs to be nerfed in some way at that time then go for it.
Just want to be decent, not bis bis bis.
It is sad that this will effectively kill the Consecration, Exorcism, and Avenging Wrath glyphs for pve. The dps gain from macroing HoR to Judgement will crush the alternatives.
It’d be nice if it were a minor glyph, so those glyphs still have a place, but the dps gain will be too substantial to justify it.
