FYI- Ret paladins have even LESS of a place in raids then ench shamans.
I think you should just get a warlock or mage and stop pretending to be a half assed healer.

Yea thats up to you. I got your IM and I'm a bit hesitant to say YAY COME ON OVAR! as its hard enough getting my RL friends who play abundant classes into raids.
If only our shaman hadn't de'd all his healing gear . There were only two in the raid last night, one after half of it. 6/27/2007 11:31:20 AM |

hybrids are a necessity in making bc raids much less of a gear check. 1 feral druid, 1 enh and 1 ele shaman, a couple bm/surv hunters, and definitely a shadow priest, a ret pally if you got one with enough gear to deal quasi-decent damage. having someone to refresh all those judgements in a pally heavy raid is fuckin clutch and a half. the first time we had one I was CONSTANTLY overhealed by seal of light on just about every fight. also, in accordance with blizz tradition you need an assload of locks for about half the fights. mag, hydross, tidewalker, aran, nightbane, etc. seed of corruption is just too powerful, as is their crowd control.

there is no amount of gear present in this game that makes having a ret pally worth it....
they do terrible dps until they get geared through the eyeballs ... and when they do they hit the aggro ceiling faster than enh shamans.
dont go through the heartache of trying ot make a ret pally work 6/27/2007 12:15:31 PM |

Yea pretty much ignore anything smoothcrim says as 90% of it is worthless.
Ret paladins are terrible and prot paladins are a sick joke.
Yea you can generate threat and have decent tanking stats but you'll always be at a HP disadvantage to a comparably geared warrior and lack a lot of their utility.
You'll be able to grind like a mad man though, so you can be rich.

Yea they really need to change Ret as its the lowest DPS spec of any class in the game currently.
However, that doesn't change the fact that you should be playing a pure dps class since you hate healing. Can you give a solid reason why you keep trying all these retarded off specs rather then getting a Warrior, rogue, warlock, or mage? 6/27/2007 1:31:48 PM |

im 43 on my pally btw ... reckoning, holy shield, the works. it's fantastic
they've said they were looking into ret dps every single patch for the last year... mostly to placate the ret guys, only to not do it and then say ... oh yah, um ... we're looking into it

If I had access to an account (like Rob's maybe) I'd consider sticking on it. I dunno. It's fun to play something unique and not a cookie cutter class. Considering 6% of all 70 characters are Shamans (according to Wowcensus) I'm betting like 1/6th of those are enhancement which means I'm in a very small minority and that's cool when I can still kick ass.
Oh, and this is surprising:
Quote : | "Q: Some Points were brought up about tuning shamans in upcoming patches, but very little specifics were given...is there anything that can be elaborated on at all?
Kalgan: We do plan to do some more refinement of the shaman class in an upcoming patch. That being said, we're starting to settle in on a pretty good spot for elemental and resto specs. By and large it's the enhancement spec that we'd like to see become more than "just" a leveling spec (same can be said for the paladin retribution spec)." |

SandSanta All American 22435 Posts user info edit post |
Yea I can see you're enamored with the idea of being original. Even geared with the best ench gear possible, your dps is capped by your inability to shed threat effectively thats going to ultimately let every other pure dps class thats just as well geared out dps you with less effort.
Pure DPS classes will always have the most dps potential. If you get a kick out o being the cute shaman with a hammer, then hey ok. Whatever. I personally don't think spending a week looking for a group is fun
ssclark is right. This is the third version of pallytank and 2.5 version of retdps and they both still suck. Maybe one day they'll make Ret paladins a flavor of the month, but my inclination is that they'll nerf holy a lot and then buff ret a little bit and call it baked.
