Playing my retadin now feels like playing my MS warrior - only now i have a blue rage bar. Its nice to be able to actually cause decent damage for a change.

I didn't read the thread, cause I'm in a hurry.
Rets DO deserve a little love. But when a lvl 66 paladin kills a epic geared (pve though) warlock in less than 8 seconds, something is wrong ^^

Ret has been underpowered for quite a while. EVEN if they are OP now, which I doubt in, I think they deserve a little love.
agree, let them get theri 5 min of fame as it is now
do people remember tbc lounch? (OMFG NERF SHADWOSTEP!111!) or "warrior/rogue mace stun spec ...NERF!" and list go on
Edit: did just try ret for fun on my 70...to see if it was so "OMG OP" .....can say i hate prot and holye now and in love with ret<3

Its true that the pally is still vulnerable to kiting, however, I've been facing quite a lot of ret pallies on my warrior and even as prot, they can take me down pretty easily. In fact, way too easily and NO I don't suck either. Ret pallies ARE OP and they know it. That's why they've been camping people all day long on the isle on my server cause they know a lot of classes can't do %^&* against them. I can sympathize with ret pallies in TBC since I'm a prot warrior and could never pvp effectively as I can now, but your buffs are over the top and need to be adjusted, I'm sorry.
Expect a giant nerfbat to hit you upside the head. If Blizzard doesn't do it then I'll buy one from K-mart and do it myself.
PS: Here's a preemptive %^&* you to the people about to say QQ MOAR to me.
sounds like a case of O Noes My armou doesn't block a freaking BINARY Magic, just because ret pallies do more HOLY damage now which is the "Huge increase" they made them acctual paladins not freaking warriors with mana. thats all kthxbai

Ret pallies have already been nerfed a bit. Divine storm no longer is holy damage (and therefor no longer ignores armour).
Anyway - QQ moar people. I would come top 3 in BGs before ret got buffed because there are so many scrubs out there. Any well played mage, lock or hunter could kill me and I don't see how that is going to change since they can still kite me to death. Only people who I can easily kill now that I couldn't before are rogues because I have more tools when I get out of a stunlock. And don't QQ that I can HoJ you for 7 seconds and kill you. You can sneak up to me and do the same if you're clever. MS warriors has always been a 50/50 fight and I don't see that changing.

Definitely stay ret to level imo. I leveled as holy and that was painful. Just find yourself a nice 2hander for each level bracket and use SoC. You'll level really fast and once you get to about 45 you will be extremely efficient at leveling (mana and health wise) as well as killing things fast (11% added crit ftw).

Why do you complain about being kited if you can run 15% faster than anyone else? Besides casters need some time to cast, thats when you jump and unload your 6k crits (on 450 resillence). I play a shadowpriest and before my class was like the anti class of paladins, we have a counter for everything you have but whats the point now if you just head shot us -and everyone-? Maybe a mage can kite you but locks and priest I hardly think so.
Now my class is by far the most underpowered of the game, we are the old you, the old ret, we are the lowest dps dealers right now, no longer unique at our utility in pve enviroment, wil have a though time finding groups because of this, and in pvp we die like in 2 shots geting anyone to 75% health at most. Brb, have some kitties to kill... someone must pay.

Ok, have to chip in with my 2 cents here. There is no doubt Ret got a huge buff and is now viable for almost anyone regardless of gear level, my ret gear is pretty much crap, still in mostly the lvl 70 rep pvp gear as I was previously holy but decided to try out the fruit of the month. Nevertheless I'm managing to take down people in full season 2-3 gear without much effort.
So this brings up the dilemma I'm in now, do I work on gearing out and concentrating on my pally first, or my hunter. I like my hunter, he's gotten some nice buffs and I'm happy with him but there is no denying that Ret is pretty godly right now and I can't help the fun of playing it. Ultimately though I don't want to spend a ton of time working on the pally only to see Ret "hotfixed", read nerfed.

Its true, ret dps is much better now that the new patch is out. But tbh, everyone's dps is better. I think blizzard did the right thing with ret pallies. they made it easier to play a ret pally, and they made it easier to gear one too. Now you dont need the BEST gear to do well with a ret pally. Now, just like rogues, hunters or locks, you can do decent dps without having insane gear. That's called balance. Ret Pallies are good, but I just finished a ZA run and my dps isn't any better than anyone else with my level of gear. What I would adjust is ret's survivability. We can heal very well now that our heals scale with AP. We can also bubble. This makes for a powerful combo with such good dps.
Other than that, everything is fine. If anything, people should stop whining that ret is OP. We are finally a viable class and can't be beat as easily anymore. It's called strategy. Use it.
