IS THIS REAL? Ret Paladin Rework in 10.0.7

Well this came out of nowhere but the Ret Paladin rework in 10.0.7 is happening and we couldn’t be more excited about it! Granted, we didn’t get any specific details on the matter but rather some objectives Blizz wants to reach with the spec and they are more or less things that have been underlined multiple times in the past. Retribution Paladin in Dragonflight is looking to have a bright future if they deliver on this, don't you think so?

I'm so pumped for this. I want to main my Ret so badly.

Back in MoP there was a talent that would cause you to gain movement speed when you judgement.

[Xariann]

There is button bloat though. Or rather, every minute you have button bloat, where you have to go through a sequence of buffing abilities before you can "do your rotation". Also Exorcism feels rather weird. It's like, the Paladin remembered to slap you last minute while swinging their big hammer.

[BaldChimpanzee]

Remove Divine Steed and bring back Long Arm of the Law + Beta Legion ability which worked like Heroic Leap/Blink but with light effect

[Tyzen]

5:08 Blizzard needs to just give a flat out armor boost to each type of armor, diminishing Plate > Mail > Leather > Cloth. Example could be to give Plate wearers 100% more armor or something, then maybe Mail a 75% or 50% bonus idk. Its just about time that it gets mentioned after YEARS of people noticing it and nothing being changed.

I hope they give us back the original Pursuit of Justice talent like we had in vanilla

I'd love to see a new retribution paladin. I want a holy pumper.

I am often in the comments, you know me blablabla.... This is great news to hear, Blizz is actually reworking Ret. Might give it a shot, if the results are good, BUT the next Spec who NEEDS this Treatment so desperatly is Frost DK. I can't stand another expansion, where my Main Spec for 13 years plays like absolute doodoo until we have finally reached the last Patch of the expansion, where stat scaling allows us to actually have a decent and fun smooth rotation and not be one of the slowest specs in the entire Game.

Love your Videos, bye bye

I always thought the Tyrael blink would feel very nice on ret, but I hope they get us a new ability where we use the wings to first rise up on the air and then fly forward like a straight forward dash with a weapon slash in the and causing slow on enemies for ret, giving a shield to himself and allies for prot and healing himself and allies for holy.

Hello, MarcelianOnline! Love your videos and insights about everything you are making. Especially for the Retribution Paladin stuff, because this is my main.

I am not quiet sure if you know this, but there are more news about Retribution. Someone managed to datamine tons of changes coming up soon. Is it possible for you, guys, to cover up and talk about them one more time, by making a new video? it seems like there are still a lot players who are not aware of these possible future changes. Even some Retribution content creators were surprised to find that out last 2 days.

Thank you and cheers! I will be waiting your next videos for sure!

We have def been left behind. Have mained Ret since I started playing in Cata. Hype for this!

Ret should just have the same mobillity choices that they've had in WoD.
They should have Speed of Light, Long Arm of the Law and Pursuit of Justice all at once and it wouldn't even be OP because back in WoD they had 20% movement speed whenever they wanted from Empowered Seals on top of a 4-5 sec Judgement cooldown to refresh the 3 sec lasting 45% speed from LAotL and the 50% slow from Judgement.
On top of the 50% perma slow from Seal of Justice whenever you connected to the target.
Magic Cleanse, Snair and Root Cleanse (Emancipate) on top of 2 charges of Freedom.
So having just the mobillity choices without the slows and spam dispells would be fair imo.

They could also go down the root of having Steed be baseline while also providing a choice note between LAotL and Pursuit of Justice. Spice that up with Burdain of Guilt and Clemency (1 additional charge on freedom and BoP)
And Ret's should be back in the game.

Last idea would be to add Turalyon's Might from Legion Alpha back where you shoot a sword from the sky and upon clicking the abillity another time you teleport to the swords location.
And if they keep Steed atleast make a Glyph that alters it's appearence to the one of Speed of Light

I would love to have the spec revert back to LK format, I loved the simple but effective play style. I also really miss blessings too and have a bunch of auras to choose, we lost so much identity over the years but I feel like we’re slowly getting it back

[edwardhatfield]

The pick an area or target and teliport to it would be great, lots of cool animations come to mind. I really, really, really want a blessing of spellwarding that is NOT ABLE TO BE DISPELLED. Often in pvp, in a 1v1 situation, 7 specs can remove a large portion of our defensives and mobility or have 3 more ccs at the ready than we have ways to remove them. It's frustrating to be the slowest spec when you are not rooted, snared, sheeped, cycloned, mind controlled, knocked back, stunned, gripped away, have a big ass ice wall put in your way, or teliported 40 yards away, and you still can't catch a warlock or priest that fears you while your character walks around in random directions while it is dying. We have no mortal strike, no fear, only 1 stun we can do damage during. The list of crowd control we face is unreal considering the only way to prevent it's application is purged as soon as it is used, the lovely 4min CD divine shield the applies forbearance preventing almost all of our remaining defensive toolkit from being used. Relying on only being able to walk when blessing of freedom and steed are used together is a painpoint. If you use steed without freedom, you are slowed during it, so it is wasted. If you use blessing of freedom without steed it can me stolen or purged if you don't have the pvp talent, and you are still too slow to catch the teliporting, leaping, or pillar humping types.

Not started DF due to Ret Pala Stale Current State, hope they can make changes and use Ideas or Abilities from D2, HOTS or any other Godly-Themed Game

[CtrlAltSebastian]

I would love this man, im new to the game ive played about a month now my friends recommended DH havoc since its a ''rapid fire button smasher'' as they said it. I played until i got ilvl 390 and then i started to level a paladin and i havent touched my DH ever since. I just feel that noone wants a ret pally, hard to find M+ and raids. Going from havoc wich everyone wants to ret paladin hurts jeez

[civicus]

I will main Pala for the rest of my life if they get the mobility and "feel" right :D

[eliasheydari]

they should improve shield of vengeance so much and they should change divine shield and blessing of protection
5minutes cd and then 8 seconds duration and your enemy can remove it in 1 second.
like priest or warr

[claygray]

So where do you go to give suggests they will read? The forums?

[Adamm]

I wonder if it will make any headway in changing community perception of ret in pug raids and pug M+
