Pre-nerf they were so absurdly far ahead of everyone else on dps it wasn’t even funny
Post-nerf they…have a 2 second longer cd on Crusader Strike, so, you know…probably no different
Tanking, the general consensus from what I’ve seen seems to be they’ll be the premiere aoe tank
Dps: Badass
Tanking: Badass
Healing: Badass

Well from the demo they seem to be doing really well. In fact, the demo I watched had the ret paladin toping the meters
Nice. I can’t wait now.

But really I’m plannin Pally to be my second, honestly I’m just looking forward to trying out all the shenanigans for these classes, good lord it’ll be a time sink

I think warrior is going to do just fine. I know a few peeps that’s that are jazzed for glad tanking.
level 60 warrior is going to be a BEAST.

They are shaping up to be pretty op. Holy basically doubles their healing output with one rune. Prot might still struggle in raids, but is well on its way to being the best dungeon tank by a longshot. Ret is just ridiculous.
The only downside is going to be how many other players are also rolling paladin. I imagine groups with 3/5 paladins will be fairly normal.

beacon healing is extremely powerful and if the new gear is busted with stats and crit they may be getting crit even faster and their Illumination talent will come online earlier to turn them into an endless mana healer that heals for 2x now since beacons.
Honestly, same. I’m looking forward to it, cause I absolutely hated it in vanilla, but then again, I was dumb and leveled up as prot, by myself. So… That was kind of my own fault.

With devs saying wait there’s more after 25… This has me thinking most classes are going to be fine tuned hard by 60. Whatever they lack now most issues will be resolved by 60. Just my opinion.

As most release, class will be infested with bad players (80% ret) who will eventually quit the class when they realize that either:
- They’re bad at healing and tanking.
- People ask them to heal because too many dps players and people realize they can’t heal for s***.
- Ret will eventually be nerfed or other dps’ers brought to par, and ret will no longer bring anything useful to a group that other paladins already bring.
Yes, SoD will bring changes which should alleviate some of the past issues, but the reality is that some things do not change.

Retribution is going to have a whole new meaning after four years.
