Pally's in PvP??

[Specialk]

I play as Holy in PvE, and I really want to start trying to get into PvP. But I am not sure what to go in PvP, stay Holy or go Ret and smash face? I am not sure tho how Ret is now and how it is looking in the future..any thoughts or comments? Thanks!

Ret ain't too good, 2.2 viable of course but almost every spec is. You need to be pretty good and have good team mates if you want to do decent. Thats arena PoV btw.

Bgs, do whatever you feel like.

Generally speaking you can get much further (like 400-500) rating as a warrior, feral druid or rogue in arena for the same effort as you would with a ret paladin.

This is due to all the weaknesses & design failures that ret has with things like RNG, offensive dispels, kiting etc... (WOW was never really meant to be a PVP game & it was only added as an after thought)

If you want to play a paladin & get to decent ratings iyou will want to play as holy, that is unless you vastly out gear & out skill 99.99999999% of the population & are being carried by similarly skilled & geared people. (even Vanguards openly admits it)
