Incoming Pally Nerfs that Affect Tanks

[Aradar]

"Judgement of Wisdom: mana gained reduced to 1% of maximum mana and proc frequency cut by 50%. This ability was flat out better than Vampiric Touch when the mana provided between the two really needs to be close in order for the decision between Shadow priest and Retribution paladin to be a real one."

"Judgement and Seals: Damage reduced by 20%. This is the major damage adjustment -- a lot of damage was coming from these. We do realize this hurts Holy and Protection as well, and that is something for which we are prepared to offer compensation (particularly if it hurts Protection's threat generation)."

These are part of a list of changes to nerf Ret damage.

That second one being the major one but as stated hopefully they get it settled for tanks.

Pallies are doing enough dmg that a 20% reduction from judgements and seals won't hurt too bad. I'm not sure how they will buff the prot spec to compensate, maybe increase dmg done by holy shield or something.

IMHO...a MASSIVE buff then a little nerf, is still a buff!!

[Mokoi]

they also said they would adjust tanking abilities to offset the nerf to ret paladins.

so uh, yeah no need to adjust your panties.

Hmm, stealthy said it before but I'm going to say it again...TO THE GROUND!!

No seriously, ret pallies whinged for ages, they have more collective nerd tears than any other class, they get massively buffed and laugh at everyone else and tell them to l2p...did they really expect any sympathy when they got nerfed?

I don't mind the damage as my threat was fine by a long shot, but the mana hurts.

I dislike it when people run around saying 'class X is OP NERF' yes that class may very well be overpowered but thats not up to you thats blizzards decision. If you think they're overpowered make a constructive post as to why and Blizzard will take it on board (in before Blizz ignore suggestion forums conspiracy theory) I don't mind most stuff but its just so whingy and annoying and yes I'm off topic again but oh well.

If anyone is wondering where that phrase came from, have a look at this post from Ghostcrawler...very funny!
