there must have been a nerf, i played on my 85 paladin w/ 85 blue handout weapon and I was getting no where near any of the numbers posted in the beginning. Shaman seemed slightly better and DK seemed kinda OP. might have to spend the rest of wotlk leveling my other dk's . If only dk's could bubble!
Needing 3 holy power really slows down paladin burst, having to build up and then decide on dps vs heal for using it sucks. We will see how beta progresses, but I may end up a sad panda with regards to pally's.

Yep, there was a huge nerf. It made me sad.

And for those able to try it, how good was this boost?

Retribution

• Crusader Strike now causes 120% weapon damage, up from 100%.
• Selfless Healer now increases the effectiveness of Word of Glory's heal by 25/50% when used on others.
• The Art of War now causes 100% additional damage, up from 30%.

[Mosg2]

Those damage buffs are nice but you're losing 25% of your healing from Selfless Healer I believe.

[Shodokan]

Those buffs/nerfs don't matter too much IMO. Ret is way too proc based to be effective since the mastery change.

I hesitate to call it threadomancy, but...

How does everyone who has a 4x Ret team feel about them post 4.0? I've played mine a fair bit and here are my comments:

1. It seems like it's pretty easy to set up a good one-button DPS system. This is a plus--The DPS loss from /stopcasting isn't too terrible.

2. Healing has become much more binary. 4x Word of Glory is worth like, 50k healing on my team without crits. You can't do it quite as often as the old Art of War but the throughput is insane.

Anyone have more experience to add?
