From 2102 to 1890 in one night...

I'm actually theorycrafting to counter the retripalas.

Here's my current plan:

1. Get a priest healer with pain supression. Invaluable for surviving the burst.
2. Survive for a few seconds.
3. Have the priest mass dispell the bubbles.
4. One-shot most of the paladins with Novas + CL + TS.
5. Clean up.


Now.. one question: Is the primary dps from bubbled paladins from spells? They can be grounded right? Perfect grounding totem work should help with this situation, yes?

Pain supression is nice but theyll still drop the target. Theyre burst is insane and from my experience the equivalent of 4xShaman with EM+NS+CL up every 8 sec. They're real burst comes from the judging but they still do great melee damage. I tried treating them like a casting class with the grounding totems. Heres what haappened:

- They ate through 4 grounding totems in seconds.
- I stop healing (mind you Im spamming lesser healing) and drop totems.
- They drop my guy to <25%
- My pally heals him to 100% almsot immediately
- I start to cast and then they drop me almost immediately.
- They then continue to repeat the same process of destroying 431 resilience, 13k armor, with 12k HPs in less than a global cooldown.

I dont stop playing when I lose. I hate to admit defeat. But with a 60% bubble dispell resistance, 10k burst damage every 8 seconds from every pally. The only possible way to beat this set up is to get lucky.

So Paladins are balanced at 70...Shaman get balanced at 75...imagine how fast RET Pallies are going to level.

On the bright side, I cant wait to gear up my 70 Holy Paladin over the next week in RET gear. The guys beating me had greens on...and Ive been buying Scaled Veng all season long

I actually belive only holy shock and repentance can be absorbed by groundings.

Im not 100% sure but i cant remember seeing my HoJ beeing absorbed by a grounding..

I dont see why you would change your healer now when there is 3 weeks left untill the expansion and the talents isnt well balanced just yet.. You will most likley have to changehim again when you hit 80!

I went from 2100 to 1950 on the day of 3.0... its obvious its bugged and screwed atm so iv decided to just play my 10 games a week and get points until xpac... i did some kara/za for kicks ..... ooh ony is fun as well

Mostly to annoy the retripalas loling around at high rating. Would love to destroy some of these teams.

I wonder if Astral Shift and Pain Supression stack.

i stop duelboxing after patch and formad a 5s with few ppl i know. My comp is 3 ret pallys Ms warrior and restor shaman. One night i hit 2200 in 4 hours 62-0

Wouldn't mass dispell remove the judgements on me, along with the bubbles? Seems like win-win to me. No?

A ret paladin got 100% dispell protection on seals if he have specced Sanctified Seals wich most pvp ret paladins should have. And not to mention paladins got 30% general dispell protection trought Stoicism..

Its not impossible ofc but you certainly have a harder time then them!

[Jaws5]

this spell damage does not seem to be limited by lvl.

I have a good team of 69 hunters and 1 priest . We owned bgs before patch . Now 1-2 (mostly lvl 60)dins can kill whole team and live though my dps .

I smiled and started my 5 man paladin team at 60 (RAF)

can't beat them ( join them)
