I know you will slightly buff Rets due to how severe the nerfs were, but you will also forget to buff Exodin since it requires a usage of different bonuses. As of now main damage source of Exodin is Seal of Martyrdom which breaks the point of spec, where Exorcism is main source of damage. Revert Excommunication nerfs back to 40-45%, which is a VERY slight buff, but it will help it keep the dps on par with other Ret Playstyles

Never said its not viable, but slight Ret buffs are incoming and Exodin plays using the bonuses from different tier set, which they will ignore since its mostly Twisters dooming in forums
What ret buffs are those?
No, never. Finally paladins nerfed to be in line with other classes.
Now l2p and stop relying on 1global to win anything.
Youāre playing a hybrid class, you are not supposed to be top 1 dps.
Also check the sims again all paladin Dps spec sims about the same at around 12k dps in bis, Exodin included.

i think it would be fair to assert that blizzard might have been a bit too enthusiastic about the idea of making ret paladin (and other hybrids) āviableā in SOD.
most former meme spec players just wanted to be brought in line with other classes. nobody was asking for, nor ever dreamed of having their (former) meme spec becoming a top performer in all realms of the game.
enhancement was there for a while back in phase 2-4, and that was deemed unacceptable so it was gutted into oblivion and now, in terms of SOD, its basically a meme spec again when compared to other classes/specs.
i mean, enhancement has to use a combination of gear and shoulder rune that gives stormstrike a whopping 150% damage bonus and 4.5 sec CD (down from 0% damage bonus and 20 sec cd in vanilla btw) and they still canāt keep up with everyone else.
additionally, the 2h rune gives 50% increased attack speed, 15% attack power and 10% spell hit - and it still canāt keep up
WF internal cooldown was reduced from 3 to 1.5 seconds and it still isnāt enough to even scratch the surface
i meanā¦ in terms of vanilla standards, these changes would have sent enhancement shaman straight to the top of the dps meter, but in terms of SOD standards its hard to justify playing the spec despite these giga buffs, and that says a lot about the unhinged power creep in this version of the game.
the other hybrids are in the process of getting that same treatment, paladin was simply the next class on the chopping block, and rightfully so tbh (its been far too long)ā¦ those one shots got old 5 minutes in, and became more and more outrageous as the phases progressed.
Cant wait for all the tears on the forums when ret nerfs go live.

aww, did my take on the situation not agree with your sentiments, making it a ād******aā (whatever that means) move by default?
thatās a shame.
i hope you didnāt come here looking for sympathy, because i can guarantee you every other class are popping the champagne bottles over the news of these paladin nerfs.
its only you paladin players that are outraged, and nobody is surprised by that fact btw, it would have been a surprise if you didnāt rush to the forums to complain.
