I've ran into 7 retribution paladins in the past patch days (as a feral druid) and I've had no problems whatsoever taking them down. Use your logic; trinket the stun not repentance. You have stuns/fear/CC aswell use it. In my guild (which has a few gladiators but mainly PvE raids) several claimed the change to be necessary. I used to run into a paladin before and laugh, now they offer a challenge. Get off your peanut asses (warlocks and rogues) and start working at the game because accodring a rather large community of skilled PvP and PvE players (guilds in greymane) this is justified.
Pallies move foward! (But respect your furry friends )

Locking thread due to sticky on forum. Sorry if anyone is unsettled.
