Can't deal with Crusader Strike anymore

If there’s a thing I hate more than time gating or anything else in bfa, it’s gotta be the current design of Crusader Strike. The 3k tickle and the animation makes me wanna gouge out my eyes.

Legion’s sv hunter’s Raptor Strike, felt more rewarding.

The only good with crusader strike is that you still get holy powers from it while the enemy is immune . For example if you cant swap to someone else while a mage is in block or someone is cycloned or a paladin in bubble or other defences you still stack holy powers to be ready afterwards. Alot of times when a paladin is in bop is good to gather holy powers with crusader strike so you can land templars inside it.
I guess its usefull that way even if its doing crap damage.The way it works over defencives its good.

Also its nice to one shot totems .

Crusader Strike had long journey from the start of this game. Going from our hardest hitting ability to filler spell nowadays.

Retri needs a simple and effective rework. Less D3 Crusader inspiration… and more classic War3/D2 Paladin inspiration please!!!

Hmmm cant agree with you. It feels nice for me and playable - usefull in all brackets. I play retri since vanilla and after wod (start legion) i feel i can participate on everything without denying me cause of my specc . Always talking for pvp.

Especially in rbgs the specc brings so many unique abilities that holy specc doesn’t have. AND THIS IS REALLY important Because if holy got the same abilities to bring in it then kills the retri spot.

One simple example is blessing of sanctuary while you are in the defence group in flag carrying maps. Its the only spec which can remove kidney from tanks. Retri can be game changing specc in some maps since legion .

You didn’t get my point about the rework, and its actually pretty simple.
Stop borrowing stuff from the D3 Crusader.
WoW Paladin design was for years defined by Seals, Blessings and Auras.
Similar to the D2 Paladin. It was the reason most of us started playing in Vanilla.
You yourself point out that a Blessing ability makes you more unique and useful in RBGs, that’s what we want too but in a broader scope.

Also the fact that you only play PvP means you only experience a portion of the class/spec, and not the class/spec as a whole.
PvE is a bigger portion of the game, not more important, but definitely bigger in scope. Retri is a very basic spec in PvE.

Many people want a rework of the Paladin class as a whole with the addition of old ideas refined into the new state of the game.

Class design changes all the time, that’s the status quo of the this game.
You might like it in one expansion and hate it in another.

Yeah ok but noone ever took me in a group for my seals . Blessings and auras was something holy paladin had too.
You need something unique for pve but for sure this is not the seals .
Maybe a retri only aura for damage increa/decrea or a more special effect raid wide.

omg yes thats exactly how it feels like.

Also dont talk to Stormenson. That guy doesnt understand english. Like at all.
You can try to have a decent conversation with him, but he will never understand what youre saying cause his understanding of the english language has to be that bad.
He always talks about a different topic.
