you'll have to excuse me that i dont know everything thats going on. i know that alot of skills have been changed. i've just read the pala section a bit and took a conclusion.
Try playing it first before you slay it. Most of the Ret complaints are talking about PvP. We've always been a glass cannon, if they were to revamp that, they'd have to revamp a load of the Paladin abilities.
Meh. Crit is still a good stat, it's still on par with Mastery. But, I do see what you mean. This tier is ridiculously well itemized for Ret. Our damage gets even better with 2-4 set.
I have played retri, before it was a viable raid spec and untill the start of cataclysm. The term glass cannon is no good term for ret pre cata. im guessing it still isnt a good term for them atm. Retri can take a decent beating, but it had to use certain skills with long CD's to survive, but that could be done several times with bubble, Lay on hands and normal heals.
Ret always needs good gear to perform well. Since you just said that Tier gear improved it so much, it seems thats still an ongoing 'issue'.

Thank you for confirming my thoughts on the current state of retri
I don't get what you're getting at, if you're trying to say you out-experience me - I don't doubt it. I've not played Paladin longer than an expansion. But, I have played the game long enough to know who Rets have always been. They're hybrids. They're not meant to outplay pure dps classes. If it gets to that point, the game developers are doing it wrong. Retribution is in one of the best places it has been since DS.
Tier gear improves every dps class, it's not heavily based around it, it just increases tenfold if you have it.
I miss WOTLK Ret, I feel like they added 'complexity' just for the sake of complexity. Holy Power and Holy Slice and Dice ruined the spec for me.

Pretty much, my ret hits like a brick with his burst and is very hard to kill despite the heal nerf, but yes i have seen lesser geared rets getting destroyed by pretty much everything so its a viable point to complain about pvp :P
Edit: cba fixing that :P

When Anaxie and Vanguards say Ret are broken in the same patch, then Ret is broken. Other than that, we're fine.

When Vanguards and Anaxie say Ret are fucked, in the same patch, we can consider ourselves fucked.
Other than that, it's a learn to play issue/adaption issue.
I just got the 2pc bonus and damage has really gone way up. Enjoying playing ret so far.

Well, being worst dps class in game except for priests and hunters at the moment is not a place I'd like ret to see.
