tbf this was the only change they reasonably could make. anything else and we’re bottom of the barrel in pve again, and pve is the main game. pvp, for all that we might love it, will always be their afterthought.
hence it taking this long for them to just make Divine Shield work like it did in Wotlk.
good change , though i wouldve kept the 100% attack speed reduction too.
honestly this takes out one of the biggest sore spots in pvp perception of balance , which is getting 2 globaled by someone who is also almost completely immune to everything and every counter in the game.
good on blizz for changing it.

Took a peak into the Paladin PVP discord and it really shows how out of touch these ret brains actually are 
.
The mental gymnastics some of them defending why they should be allowed to 2-shot people inside a full immunity bubble is hilarious.
To all the Paladins crying, take some notes from the shadow priests

lmoaaa siiiiiick
Took them a few extra phases but makes sense that they were nerfed during a Blood Moon PVP phase. Some Alliance developer finally got @#$& on by a bubbled paladin during the event and learned how cancer it was .
Nerf shamans ability to purge on gcd. Make purge a 5 sec cd. I mean its already lopsided every bg because of shamans and horde racials due to dev bias. But idc only 9 days of my sub left. Guess ill try PoE 2.

I think it’s only horde shamans left on SoD. Most decent players have already left for fresh as it’s more balanced.

Fresh is predetermined rock paper scissors with little outplay opportunity.
^ bad sod player. Engineering is your friend in classic
Doesn’t matter, everyone runs eng. Watch any duel tourny etc it all plays out as expected. Even with eng/consumes same classes counter each other…
Duel tourney =/= PvP
Sod has caused you brain rot
Time to play on fresh, the only real classic server

This won’t change anything. The real problem is tier 1 6 piece. You combine that with Tier 2 2 piece and that’s where the instagibbing is coming from.
Fresh isn’t fresh anymore though; New fresh servers when Blizzard?
they to dumb to understand that bro cause"OmG HeS BuBbLeD aN KIlLeD MeH" now lets talk about shaman nerfs
Yeah I don’t know why they’d be crying tbh lol.
This divine shield nerf changes nothing. Ret Paladins are still super OP in PvP if we have enough PvE gear, while being weakling lame ducks if we don’t.
The PvE tier bonuses are what make us strong in PvP. Silly, but that’s how it is. The Divine Shield change is barely a blip on the radar for our viability.

…Gonna say purely from a Feral standpoint, the Bubble nerf does make the difference. If someone eats a HoJ because they don’t carry a trinket/LAP that’s on them, because Pallies are running tier gear it’s like they coming at you wearing paper bags for armor.
Most of the time I put so much pressure on a Paladin I Pounce they immediately have to Bubble, turn around and THEN do the burst. I can’t run from the Bubble to reset the fight either because of that stupid steed half the time.
