Ret still seems good in PvP on PTR

[Darkent]

I made a video of me dueling some players on Brill EU PTR server.
Players are not the best, including me ;D. Video is made to show Ret dmg on PTR and new Exorcism/SoCommand.
I don't feel weak, I can still beat every class fairly easy. I'll try to capture some arena matches if I find Disc Priest to play with. I can't tell how is Ret in arena yet (2v2 I mean) but it's still good for pwning noobs in BGs.

Wow, i would die with that UI

do you think the skill factor has raised?

[Maneken]

First duel isnt arena.
Second, duel with this: Boomkin, Resto druid, Resto shaman, Disc priest, Arcane mage(which infact know how to play not this 1 in movie), Holy paladin.(and plz duel with ppl which infact understand what resilience means on ptr)
Third, try to play arena.
Anyway its good movie but unfortunatly it cant proof anything.

[Darkent]

Skill factor has raised maybe just a bit. You can blow up clothies and rogues as you saw still tho.
I thought duels with healers will be boring if I show them, but ok I will try to capture some, it's mostly me mashing skill off CD until healer is oom and I end up with full hp and mana.
Ye I need my 2v2 partner to try arena or atleast some decent disc priest to try it out arena.
I'm waiting for my partner to transfer to PTR atm.
And thanks for positive comments.

I've been doing a lot of PvP on the ptr and Rets don't seem that different. They're still blowing people up.

dark can you tell me waht addons are you using plz ?

btw your movie is rly awasome thx for doing it

[Frozenhour]

NOOOO, now that u said that, more ppl start QQing about how OP they are, and if that nerf bat hits us one more time, there will be no ret paladins, just holydins and tankadins

What exactly are you interested in?
I got loads of addons too lazy to write all down.

btw your movie is rly awasome thx for doing it

Thanks and you are welcome

I'd like to point out that the majority of the paladin teams we're seeing on the PTR are premade toons that are equipped with free Full deadly / furious gear.
Just checking with a friend, they have almost 900 resilience and really nice AP / crit stats for free with the premade toons.

Not everyone is going to have that gear and their opponents will probably notice a fairly drastic difference in the burst ability.

These nerfs hurt PvP by 15-20% and help PvE by 5-10%.
(I pulled those numbers out of my ass, but they feel right to me)

HP and Mana bars around your char, actionbars

HP and Mana bars are Meta HUD.
Action bars are Bartender 4.

Fail class redesign = fail

There is no extra depth, burst might be a bit more predictable (people can see the art of war buff, though I doubt many will actually acknowledge that before they start QQ again), but judging from the movie there is still a lot of dmg within 1 or 2 gcd...

thanks
ill try it out now and ill tell you if i miss something

[ThunderCro]

uhm lol where did you DL meta hud ?
on curse i cant find it, i tryed to google but i can find only like 1 year old version lol

[Naydie]

I'd feel like such a lameass playing that

[Mobywan]

The skillcap raised a little bit. The noobs shouldn't be facerolling so much anymore.

I felt pretty satisfied with playing Ret, it's more interactive now.

Burst is lowered alot, replaced with sustained, constant damage.

Basically comes down to: Got gear, got the glory!
No weapon = no damage.
