Awww....
It's always the ret spec that gets nerfed.... Then they realize they over did it and give us something small back to make up for it about a year or two into the release.....
Though some of the stuff I've heard has been a little sickening *snickers*

I suppose it is a bit early to panic but still...
Historically, this hasn't been the case. Every time they try to balance ret, it ends up getting nerfed too hard.
Really though, as long as they dont remove Judgements of the Wise and Divine Storm Retadins will still be pretty much required for raid utility.
This will probably be precisely their justification/excuse, if and when they go too far and gimp ret's damage output into a joke. It used to be "you have bubble and plate!" Now, it'll be "We gave you more group utility, STFU and be happy."
Never mind the fact that two of the classes with the highest damage outputs have always had some utility to go along with their chart-topping DPS. No one seems to mind that mages bring arcane intellect, a reliable CC that can lock down a mob for the duration of any fight, and limitless supply of food with their (arguably) best-in-game DPS. Or, that rogues have CC that's almost as good (Sap + Blind = "hey, wasn't there another mob in this pull?"), plus the ability to short-term CC (stunlock). No group buffs, but hey, they also dominate PvP.
But, as soon as ret paladins start putting out good DPS, along comes that pesky nerfbat to put us back in our place, and they throw us a small bone in some other area. Hopefully, this will not happen as it has in the past, but so long as Kalgan plays a warrior and works for Blizzard, get used to inequity.

i saw the movies of how much the pallys are overpowered, the judgement damage is way too high, i agree, but you have to admit, most players are likely just moaning cause its them thats getting killed.
I bet non-paladins are going to moan until ret paladins do get nerfed back to the point of paladins not doing dps at all.......not cause they ain't the best, cause they can't do dps.
I just hope they are more accepted when the expansion is out, then they currently are now, cause all i get is, 'lolret, you can't dps, go away noob, you can only heal or tank' or something along those lines.

Well they just raised the level cap to 80...so now is the time to start balancing I suppose. Yet something on MMOchamp looks unsettling to say the least. According to their talent trees, divine storm is only single target now.
Where are you getting this? I just checked it, and it still shows DS hitting 4 targets.

Well, according to my brother who is in the WOTLK beta, he says they were massively overpowered and being a paladin, i agree, but now the seals don't do jack to the enemy. lol

And if the stuff we are seeing on the eu beta is any indication (vengeance 2 stack,
CS at 10 seconds
) then this is gonna sting at the end >.>
Granted we all saw this coming but for the love of Ceiling Cat I hope they don't nerf us back into a TBC hole D:
i suppose with the new ability divine storm, theyre expecting us to throw it into our regular rotation while CS is still cooling down :/
but still, spamming it will never be quite as fun D:

So when I read this topic's name, the StarCraft "nuclear launch detected" line played back in my head instantly. I can't be the only one...
thats probably what he intended...
