Update - Added September 9 hotfixes.

Paladin - Censure Hotfix Incoming

We'll also be keeping an eye on paladin damage as we move towards patch 4.3. We expect that this hotfix should be applied sometime later today.

We're also considering shifting some of the damage from Hammer of Wrath into other attacks. While that may not necessarily cure some of the current concerns about proc reliance, it should help smooth out damage a bit.

Patch 4.2 Hotfixes - September 9

  • If the Steamwheedle Rescue Balloon is killed at the start of Rocket Rescue, players should now be ejected properly, and the ballon reset to its home location.

    Imho they should nerf CS a bit and make the CD on it 2 sec, to give pally's a steady flow of holy power. But this might get OP with zealotry.

    I'm seriously fed up with the off-topic shaman whine on the forums. Paragon killed Raggy HC? No shamans in raid this proves everything QQ. Paladin received a buff? Why you no buff Shaman?! Nike plans to release "Back to the Future 2" shoes? Yes but my Shaman does bad in PvE!

    Reroll or take it to the official forums. WE KNOW your specs are not the most viable and yet WE can not fix your problems. But the complaining does get old..

    to all the shamans whining in paladin's forum GTFO, shamans can do pretty well in all the three specs, not the best but not the worst too, so l2p it before coming here writing shit, shut up and go QQing in your forum.
    as a paladin i appreciate this buff but this doesn't fix the real problem of the spec imho, too many empty gcd, playing pala sometimes is simply boring and cd dependant to feel really challenging.
    i hope in the next xpac blizz will fix this, i'm playing paladin only because of my love for the class but the gameplay of ret atm is under the other classes
    let's hope for the best and YAY for all the paladins!! XD

    So, this means protection paladins will also benefit from the increase? or is it bound to a certain (ret) Glyph or (ret) Talent?

    The randomness is whats annoying, sometimes you get 4 procs in a row and at other times you can go for a minute without any.

    Yay for our reti pala getting mabe 1k increase to his dps overall (not including procs... the bane of it all)

    L2P enhance, I haven't seen many enhance on my server below 22k dps. While most ret paladins aren't even at 20k dps.

    Hold on to your "halleluja's" for some time fellow retribution paladins, last time i checked Censure only did 4-5% of my overall damage on a boss. 40% increased damage isn't going to do shit for us on such a shit part of our damage, kinda "funny" that the paladin community and the raiding community has said for months now that retribution isn't worth it's spot and it's only now that blizzard understands it...

    FML i got forced to reroll prot because of blizzards ignorance...

    Main issue with dps paladins is that if we're bad and asked to change spec we can't dps anymore. Shamans have both elemental and enh, after the recent buff elemental shamans are doing quite well enh shaman aren't quite so good but they can change spec and not lose their spot but retribution paladins have been asked to reroll class or lose their dps spot in the guild... as i did, forced to tank or gtfo hurts, I'd gladly pay 600k gold to play holy dps if it was possible tanking is NOT fun.

    You realise that Deep Freeze doesn't do any damage to players, right?

    Keep it OT, and stop whining.

    Took their time to realize that ret's dps were too low. Too bad I quit already due to being fed up of ret being changed/screwed over constantly.

    The one and only ret pally in our guild will be happy, I guess. Most of us who played paladin rolled other classes because we were fed up with the roller coaster changes. Still, nice enough buff, I suppose.
  1. ohgasauraus's Avatar
    I did some calculation base on my last encounter with h shannox doing 31k dps, with this new buff i will be whipping additional 931.3 dps.

    "Best OP" buff ever! (as many claim)

    I don't know if you're trolling or what... Frost DPS is WAY behind other specs.

    Stop your trolling please. Specs under ret paladin are:
    1. Enchancement shaman. Those shammys who don't like their dps respec into elem.
    2. Assasination rogue. Those rogues who don't like their dps respec into combat.
    3. Arms warrior. Those warriors who don't like their dps respec into fury.
    4. Unholy DK. Those DKs who don't like their dps respec into frost.
    5. Survival hunter. Those hunters who don't like their dps respec into marksmanship.
    6. Destruction warlock. Those warlocks who don't like their dps respec into affliction or demonology.
    7. Subtlety rogue. Those rogues who don't like their dps respec into combat.
    8. Fire mage. Those mages who don't like their dps respec into arcane.
    9. Beast mastery hunter. Those hunters who don't like their dps respec into marksmanship.
    10. Frost mage. Those mages who don't like their dps respec into arcane.

    So, which dps spec should ret paladins choose when they don't like their dps?

    Congrats on the buff retris.

    Now take a look at Holy Priests please.

    Down to 7,7% of total healing spots in raids, how surprising.

    yes because i was totally like "yeah man shamans are fine they QQ too much! i'm glad they're where they are or they would threaten me as a druid!" in my post. those are the words i said, absolutely. thanks for putting words in my mouth. i'm aware of the state of shamans, i have my own 85 shaman that i'm not 100% happy with as well as shaman friends who are unhappy -- i, and many other forum-goers, are just sick of hearing the moaning on every single thread any time any other class gets attention. it's like a broken record -- and it's not just shamans. it applies to anyone that feels the need to rain rage-tears on another class' parade. the best course of action is to try and post on the official forums, be constructive, and hope you're heard.

    thanks for the unnecessary venom.
