Why Nerf Paladins Avengers Shield? Stop Nerfing Rets

So you got caught being stupid and are trying to backtrack? The post you were responding to was talking about lvl 40 mounts.

[Waricice-aerie-peak]

They just need you to buy into the false idea that the moment you get to a druid you win and that sunfire in cat form isnt an issue or abusable in anyway.

I am talking about the mounts we have at the moment. Which DO knock you off when damaged. As well as the fact even when we do get the mounts at 40 druid can sunfire at range when trying to get on one.

Only one caught being stupid is you my friend.

He’s very scared of losing his new power. He’s never felt like such a special boy before

[Tuathaigh-tichondrius]

You are just mad your class gets countered by something. Don’t worry you can still kill mostly anyone not holding a 40s fap after hitting them with the shield, just not Druid anymore.

Game is also not balanced around 1v1 encounters and never has been. Paladins have their disgusting burst damage that globals people. Druids have their sunfire torture spam that very slowly kills classes solo without healing.

Good night, you can still dream of the op shield at least.

[Waricice-aerie-peak]

The fact that you refuse to admit that Druids casting Sunfire in cat form isnt broken just shows me youre not posting here in good faith. You think its fine for a druid to be able to spam a 30yard ranged ability that has no counter using energy as a resource but the real issue is that Druids cant FC on easy mode or abuse any newly added mechanics because its paladins that can counter it.

[Arizyn-atiesh]

PvP is a team sport unless you mean wpvp. In which case you’re dumb if you think that will ever be fair and balanced. Why are you trying to 1v1 a class that obviously counters you anyway?

@Waricice-aerie-peak

Dont really know why Paladins having something useful for once like Avengers Shields daze is getting nerfed.

Is it really a nerf or is it more of a correction of an oversight?

[Waricice-aerie-peak]

Youre delusional if you dont see the problem with a feral cat using energy to sit 30 yards away to spam sunfire but think paladins having a way to get to them is a problem.

[Megarune-frostwolf]

How Avenger shield is perot ? That doesn’t even make sense but ok ?

[Megarune-frostwolf]

As a paladin player I would be ok with this Honestly the whole weapon swap thing as a whole is stupid I’ve never been a fan of it.

But yeah maybe just nurphing the whole weapon swap thing as a whole One of the things i’ve always hated Is Nuerfing Something for thes good in pve for pvp Never been a big fan of that that’s why I really liked pvp Talents now not seeing those should be brought in but just saying.

Druid sunfire spamming in wsg? The counter? Stand near literally anything capable of healing
Pre nerf Paladin shield thrown at you? The counter? Hope someone else is closer so he can kill them instead.

[Alvae-lava-lash]

You literally listed the counter to the old shield slow. Priest dispelling it which more often than not is the healer in the group. Just stand next to them.

[Baldnbrash-wild-growth]

To quote myself in a previous thread:

@Baldnbrash-wild-growth

If these Daze effects actually can be removed by insignias, and Avenger’s Shield is acting as an outlier, please inform me so I can have the correct information. And if the insignias do remove Daze effects, but not AS, that is an oversight that should be addressed.

The tooltip flat out says " . . . Dazing them and jumping to additional nearby targets." It just makes sense to be consistent with any other Daze effect a player can inflict. So it seems it was intended to be able to be removed, and that this was an oversight. I don’t see the point in complaining about something that was essentially a bug.

[Waricice-aerie-peak]

Counter to paladin using avengers shield pre nerf? put hots on yourself and go into bear form and wait for slow to fall off then use your toolkit to get away if youre any good. Counter to Druid Spamming sunfire? cant run away, cant close the gap, or eventually go oom while the druid is using energy until you die.

@Waricice-aerie-peak

The idea of ranged classes winning and being unkillable 100% of the time against paladins is so delusional. Feral Druid in cat form, the most iconic ranged unit in WOW classic.

It’s rock, paper, scissors dude. It’s always been that way since 2004.

You’re gonna struggle against ranged classes. Frankly, you should be thanking your lucky stars that they gave Ret Paladins access to a ranged snare at all, but instead you’re whining.

[Megarune-frostwolf]

Ok Kind of off topic but Where did they say that they nerved it ? Those looking for the blue post. And I don’t see anything even mentioned about classes in the update ?

[Prøfane-tichondrius]

Calling this a nerf is disingenuous. Druids can remove Wing Clip. Druids can remove Hamstring. Druids can remove ALL movement impairing effects when they shape shift. The fact that Avenger’s Shield wasn’t removable was unintended. You’re complaining that they fixed a bug.

Paladin

• Avenger’s Shield’s movement slow is now properly considered a Snare and can be removed by effects that remove movement impairing effects.

[Skyda-living-flame]

wait no i’m sorry you’re supposed to be extremely angry and call people names, I don’t understand this.
