Hello out there,
I've had some issues all around life which has made me unable to play the beta for a few weeks maybe a month.
But now i'm finally up and running and i'm now in the midst of getting to know all there is to know betawise.
My character name i Haargielol(The Great Danes - Auchindoun) and i've previously been screwing around competing for world top ranks and made quite a few during progress content. So i consider myself in the good margin of players.
My mission is to be almost a 100% sure about how i am going to play the retri paladin before we reach the release of Mists of Pandaria.
I will be streaming all the time while i'm testing the content available at twitch.tv/haargielol
Well, back to the point.
My fellow retribution paladin decided to reroll and left me with no one to discuss and test out mechanics with. So i decided to give you guys a shot.
I've come about a few things i'd like to ask you and then from there on i figured we could just keep it an open thread for discussion.
First - The end tier talent.
What's your thoughts? So far i've only tested Holy Prism and Execution Sentence. And i must say for the content available(Heroics and raid trash as EU don't ever reach the bosses due to server crashes. THX BLIZZ!) I think Holy Prism has the most utility and frankly can be used alot more. Where i believe Execution Sentence might make it ahead on Patchwerk looking or just single-target fights. What's your take?
Second - The new seal mechanic
They made major changes to our seals. Removed some, and made it a Aura/Stance kind of mechanic. Although it still functions the same way as always, making it run on the global cooldown. This is still a point that irritates me. From what i can think of we're the only class that has to use 2 global cooldowns for practically nothing, just because we come from a Single-Target seal, going to an AoE seal and back to Single-target again.
Why is it not functioning as a "Warrior" stance? Get it off the global cooldown and let it act accordingly.
Third - Rotation
Am i the only one that thinks our rotation is only 90%. I can most of the time find something to press and also something relevant to press. But i end up using my Selfless Healer FoL's just because i have no better alternative, some times i might even be at full health. It's just simply a case of everything is on cooldown.
Am i missing some key ability? Again, i haven't played that long on the beta so i'm not completely into the new rotation.
That was my 2 cents. My intent and hope with this post is to get a healthy discussion about what's comming.
Flamewars can be taken in the rogue forum, they're a bunch of backstabbing bitches anyway.
