I don't know about you, but whenever I envision a Paladin on the field of combat, I usually picture them with a big ass Mace, their HAMMER of righteousness. It only seems right that a Paladin should have his Hammer of Justice, his Hammer of Wrath by his side when defending the meek and those that can not defend themselves.
What I'm trying to say is that lorewise, a Paladin should be encouraged to use a mace, because this is their weapon of choice to thwart those evil, corrupted creatures from this plain of existance. Arthas used a mace as a Paladin. Uther used a mace as a Paladin. It is clearly what Paladins are supposed to be using.
So Blizzard, if you would please do so, encourage your Retribution Paladins to use their hammers to vanquish their enemies by adding a talent in the Ret tree that is Mace Specialization. Increase our damage when using maces by 1/2/3%. Add a couple maces into the game that rival weapons like BoH so we don't stray away from our favorite choice of weapon.
This is not me asking for a straight DPS boost. This is me asking for my freaking hammer back. Thank you.
