Revert back all the animations to the ones of WoD with the exception of Rebuke.
Make a choice note between Exorzism and Blade of Justice and let BoJ talents work with Exo.
Remove all the undertuned boring talents and replace them with something fun.[Below]
I would love a redemption for Paladins awful mobillity that they’ve had since Legion now.
That said remove Divine Steed and add Speed of Light back.
In addition to SoL bring back Pursuit of Justice (WoD Version) 15% Speed and 5% for each holy power stored up to 3.
Now that you’ve reverted the animations back to WoD we can finally use Judgement against targets behind us again, in celebration add back Long Arm of the Law it felt great and shiny, make it 30% Speed for 3 sec so it is not completely busted.
Make Divine Protection baseline 1min CD.
Give us back double Freedom and BoP trough Clemency.
Put Uther’s Devotion leggo effect into the class tree.
Remove Hand of Hinderance and replace it with Burdain of Guilt: Succesful Judgements cause the target to be slowed by 50% for 3 sec. (undispellable)
While we’re at it bring back WoD seals.
Also nerf Divine Shield: Damage reduced by 50% while under the effect.
BoP: Cannot attack physically while under the effect (unpurgeable)
On top of all these additions remove Conscecration from Ret it’s a terrible old fashioned spell that was last fun back in wotlk where it should remain, Conscecration should be a prot/holy abillity if not prot only.
Now we need something fun and interesting to press which will be Turalyons Might: Shoots a sword from the sky to put Location dealing minimal holy damage, upon using the abillity another time teleport the player to the swords location. (Scrapped Legion Alpha abillity)
With all of those additions im positive that you can all around nerf Ret damage and healing by 10%.
Also nerf Wake of Ashes damage by 30%
Auras: Make Crusader Aura passive, remove the other ones and bring back Blessings instead. (Kings, Might and Wisdom)
Replace Divine Toll with Holy Wrath: Shoots lightning to all enemies around you and heals allies in range of you.
Let Execution Sentence function the same as it did in WoD as a dot dealing damage every 1 sec for 10sec in addition you can cast it on a friendly target for healing.
This is it guys, the redemption arc of Ret Paladins
Let me know what you think
