Ok, lets follow your lead..
1. No.. it just makes you look stupid.
2. Actually.. I think it does.. Ever been critted for upwards of 6k every 8 seconds? Thats me, And i wear ~600 resil.
3. Ok reset you swing timer, who gives a fuck.. white hits are the least part of your _PVP_ Damage..(We are talking about pvp here I hope you noticed..)
4. Ever played vs ret? Coz I remember quite a few times when a ret would pop bubble and heal his mate to full with 2 heals.
5. See Above.. Just to Clarify.. a ret will destroy me in about 5 seconds when I have no cds left - without hoj aswell and well me vs him were talking about 10-15 to get him to bubble 12 for bubble then another 10-15 this is of course in a 1v1 situation.
Talking in lets say 2v2 it looks like this:
Either I'm with a healer (last comp I was playing was destro/shs(or mut/sd) but the dmg is unhealable for even short periods of time.
Or I'm with a DPS (see above.) Meaning I get wtfpwned in said time (about 5sec)
Now, Of course the ret wont be DPSing me all the time (evasion/stuns/fears/time healing/cloak/vanish what ever) but the one time he gets me, I'm Fucking dead. (30sec hoj anyone? = I avoid 2 if I'm lucky (Chance cloak) and then Die. (at the latest - usually earlyer)
But ofc to consider ive got a partner - he has one too, usually a shaman --> Less cc (tremor/grounding) + we wont be on him we'll be on the shaman who will - hopefully - die during melee bubble if not, GG we lose.
If its a second DPS - probably rogue it all comes down to if I get the fh or the other rogue if he does - im dead if he dosnt he's dead and we will kill the ret 2v1)
Ofc there are other comps rets play with - these are just examples.
6. Oh yeah whine about your perma-full mana pool, seriously.
7. No I mean using SoB (I'm horde i don't know about alliance), using mana pots JoW should be on the boss anyway and I'm pretty sure that using BoS to get extra dmg would be classed as "Being able to play" and I know for a fact our ret in SW pulled good dps and well great support (means shit now I know..) and he never whined about problems with mana. (no he didnt have a spriest)
So.. either you suck (
http://wowwebstats.com/fhhlcvq14jvei?s=311613-340560 looks like a pretty good ret - oh snap 5.8k dps on patch) or you are uninformed or a troll.
Basically I agree with the "rofl", and stand by my statement.. any paladin feeling underpowered should kill themselves, because paladins in general - and rets are far from balanced
Now, before you flame me with omg1500 ect.
http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sh...27jin&n=strafe - my rogue
http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sh...%27jin&n=felos - my (retired after bc because paladins are rediculous) paladin - oh look a gladiator (no not as ret but I played 2k+ in 2s as ret)
http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sh...%27jin&n=tzyar - my warrior - oh look another gladiator maybe this guy actually has some experience in arenas
Posted you a perfectly good wws so you can see that rets are fine pve wise, dont think I need any proof for holy pve or pvp and to sum it all up
http://www.arenajunkies.com/char/US/...jaeden/Euneek/ a ret with 2.6/2.4/2.2 ratings in 2v2/3v3/5v5 respectively.
So, Get informed.
/edit: Woah, Like WHOJAAAAAAA back the fuck up here - I just saw you play 1530 with 52 games and you have a betrayer... aiiiiiieeee im blind, why did I even spend time writing this post. /wrist
/edit^2(I remembered some shit): 2 more things
1. 90% of all paladins now weren't paladins before 3.0 and only rerolled coz of imba ret on betarealm and even if they were palas they all sucked - how many palas were there in highrated arena - thats right, not alot look at shit now.. (
http://www.sk-gaming.com/arena/ lets play count the paladins)
2. Palas whining for more atm is just so rediculous look at the improvements palas got from bc (where palas were fine) to wotlk. (rediculous - and moreso in 3.1 aura mastery anyone?) Just like a bunch of spoilt brats that cant get enough sweets, i hope all you idiots get massive metaphoric tooth decay.
