Ret paladins don't suck!

[Korey16]

I just came across this and thought, maybe if the majority of ret paladins played like him they wouldn't have such a bad name /shrug.

Edit- You guys are honestly stupid. Armory "Variation..Server- Lightning's Blade". He has no tier 5..and is using some greens/NON heroic blues with a THUNDER(not deep thunder). This guy showcases what skill and decent gear can do, stop trying to say he is in full tier 5.

If you have more skill than they do gear, you win.

"Ret paladins don't suck!"
Yes they do.

Take any other class IN GAME and give them comparable gear. The Ret Pally will get outdamaged if the pilot skill is even CLOSE to the same. This will not happen sometimes, this will happen 100% of the time. As in ALWAYS.
Pallies are the LOWEST DPS CLASS IN THE GAME. Learn this, Adjust to this. That is life.

Any Prot Warrior (OR PALLY!) will hold agro better than a Ret Pally in the same quality gear. This is also life. Get used to it.

Seriously, the community on the whole constantly says "Ret Pallies FTL" and calls them "Noobadins"... there are a long long list of reasons for this.
MOST people that play WoW are mentally retarded, but in this respect, the majority are actually correct.

Ret.
Pallies.
Suck.

Ok, yes most people are right Skill > Gear, BUT!!!! Gear is equal to skill up to certain point in time. say one level 70 has greys and the other has the pvp gear i odnt give a damn who has better skill the guy in better gear is most likely gonna win unless he just bought this account off eBay and really sux some balls. So gear does matter somewat.

Well, some guilds use Retri paladins for increased raid DPS & Keep Judgements up Retri paladins are pro in PvP.
That paladin sucked, 'twas his gear that made him so good.

Skill>Gear for anything.. well said Super Noob.

Thats the thing, the skill cap in WoW is pretty low. The gear cap is allot harder to reach then the skill cap.

Im not sure if this still holds true but for the first 8 months after wow came out I had a ret paly. On my server I had the highest dps paladin.

Why? skill, (im not trying to pump my epeen either), & I built him like a warrior gear wise. There was several times either in instances or raids that I would screenshot the end damage reports. I had several instances/raids where I was top DPS. IF I wasn't top dps I would always be in the top 3.

Now I know a lot has changed since way back then with new talents & spells for all classes. But I wonder if this still holds true? Makes me want to level a paladin back up just to test it.

[willemedra]

skill only counts with a pally to a certain point especially ret pallys are heavily gear dependant it is possible for a pally to do dps but his gear needs to be through the roof and hell never match an arms warr or something else but hell come close ive seen it happen

[c0rrup]

Okay ignorant self-minded dickheads, does it really matter that we cant do more damage than lets say a rogue with same gear? So what? The paladin wins the duel at the end with full health, paladins arent meant just to DPS/ do damage, were meant to do DECENT damage and still live 10x longer than any class. Learn what a class does before you judge it.

Also, to the players saying he sucks, I just rewatched the video and saw him make 1 mistake ONE mistake. He was slow on BoF himself after repentancing the gnome mage. He didn't need to react fast to it tho the mage was fire and can't et out of repentence. He shows great knowledge of his class through correct timing of judgements,stuns, and his technic to repentance + stun and heal. I don't play a ret paladin, but to me this guy seems to know his class. And his gear isnt that good either.

they suck, nuff said
