We're talking about ret pallies, not prot pallies

>I seriously hope you guys autoattacked for 5 damage all day

I actually did and I'd recommend it to nobody.

It was pretty boring unless you A: twinked at 29 with corpsemaker or B: had raid tier gear and pubstomped shit. Granted stacking reckoning and 1 shotting someone was pretty fun.

>>387314603
Shaman was way funnier auto attack vanilla class

Wasn't it just running around in a circle in the back of the raid, then casting DI on someone when the raid wipes?

>>387314127
It's pretty fun desu

>>387314603
It looked pretty boring, and frustrating

I can't count the number of Ret Pally's I cucked by simply walking away from them

for mages being the best pvp class in the game, i think i came out ok. had i been a warrior or something the fight would have been over after the first frost nova

good job, you lost

>>387316450
But the entire argument was that it's easy to just walk away from a paladin while they cry like wojak

>Running away from someone in a duel means you lose because you leave the duel area
>Running away from someone in wpvp means you lose because they can go back to farming or doing whatever it is they were doing before the fight started
>Running away from someone in a battleground means you lose because they take the flag/cap the point.

Sure it's easy to run away with blink/slows but in the end you're running away like a bitch.

Shit was redonk

Part of the appeal of Ret (and Paladins in general) is their staying power. It would be pretty fucking op to have Warrior tier offensive capability with all the defensive stuff Paladins have like powerful heals and Divine Shield. Autoattack, Judgement and Seal of Command is pretty effective since if it doesn't proc you have the staying power to wait for it to go off on the next autoattack. Also with the right gear if those things crit you can delete like 75% of a clothies hp bar.

Reckoning while gimmicky is pretty fun too, especially since it directly counters the most overplayed thing on vanilla wow servers, Undead Rogues.

>>387317115
>Literally one button

You can't spell Retard without Ret.

>>387317108
i remember seeing rets solo capital cities. something to do with holy damage bypassing armor and new sader strike + divine storm being pure holy (or something)

>played a paladin in vanilla retail because I was a dumbass 14 year old who thought it was going to be a cool class because Warcraft 2 and 3 paladins were badass
>quit WoW at some point in the last ten years
>start playing again on private servers
>always kill every single paladin on spot
It's such a garbage, worthless class that it genuinely makes me angry people can stand playing it

>>387317357
>one button
>can still blow someone up with soc/white crit and judgement

i'll take it

Paladins are pretty good for raids and pvp

The downside is that you are playing a paladin.

>crusader strike was removed in Patch 1.1.0 (07-Nov-2004) and introduced in Patch 2.0.3 (09-Jan-2007)

Still unsure what went through their retarded minds, crusader strike could have been that little extra that ret needed in vanilla.

>>387317473

Paladin was great in diablo 2 as well and yet they managed to fuck it up in vanilla.

>>387314127
I'm doing it right now.

Fellow vanilla paladin bros, what are the best fapping techniques for levelling?

Although seal of command was nice and all, I really think the simple crusader strike added in TBC made an world of difference.

Too bad blizzard can't make good classic armours for shit.

>Undead Rogues.
fuck I hated them, all the better when I defeated them in wpvp, though rogues imho has always been a fucking hard class to counter, because often times than not they end up escaping several times

I did. Guild was an undermanned one nationality guild that nonetheless was the second best on the server until WotLK, and thus they just let me heal in ret spec while taking warrior loot.

God I fucking loved PvPing with that shit, and especially reckoning. They stopped letting me have 5(?) points in holy for reckoning in Naxx though.

>>387314127
I mained ele sham for pve and pvp

I joined an ony pug and we were havin some bants at the entrance. eventually he asked about my dps and I said "you will find it, shocking"
