I've been considering this off and on for weeks now, and I have been wondering how exactly I would write it when it came. So I guess the best thing to do is to "Tell ya what I'm gonna tell ya".

As I'm sure many people know or have been expecting, I am now officially retiring my paladin as a main. I realize this means that I sacrifice my raid spot on my paladin as well as a multitude of other things. I do plan on changing to my warrior as a main for those who see me on said warrior all the time this should not come as very much of a change.

Now I suppose some reasoning is in order for this, although it will occur in no particular order:

#1. It is no longer fun for me to play this toon. I logged in to help AFK with their raid tonight, and I just felt lathargic. There was nothing really I wanted to do persay, no drive or motivation. It felt like I was back in a grind, and not for the people, with whom I enjoy raiding greatly, but simply because of the toon.

#2. The nerf to damage. This is a class that I have played since December of '05 in some way or another, nearly all that time spent as ret. I remember the days of Vanilla when "dps" consisted of Seal of Command and white attacks to Current day with Exorcism, Consecrate, Crusader Strike, Divine Storm and Judgement. However in an effort to balance pvp, I have been watching our pve continuously take hits like an old boxer backed into a corner.

In this most recent patch, although we should have a minor dps increase on patchwerk like mobs of standing still, we are going to suffer a huge nerf when it comes to AoE fights (Freya, Razorscale, Kologarn, Auriaya, Thorim) and fights that require quick burndown or time off target (XT Heart, Hodir, Mimiron, Possible General).

I believe I have already reached a point where my warrior can keep pace dps wise as arms, and I am still learning new things (and getting new gear) every day in order to perfect arms. When I am high on rage, I have ways to burn it for more dps, paladins have no way to do this as ret.

#3. It is just no longer fun to play this toon. As I said, I feel lathargic when I play my paladin, wondering what I am going to do. It has reached the point where I dread logging into my paladin, and when I raid all I can think of is the time left until I can get back onto my warrior just because it is no longer fun.

There is plenty more that I can go into here if I wanted but I think I have gone on enough. So with that, I retire my class of 3.5 years to alt status, picking up holy as an offspec to replace my old pvp spec. We will see where this new road I am on takes me, but the road to warrior is a very interesting and interactive one.

With That,

Warrior LFG. Arms, Fury, Prot or PvP PST

P.S. I still will be available to help people with any ret or paladin questions they have.

I will try to keep a consistent log of my dps attempts on my warrior and how I perform when I dps in a given instance be it 25m or 10m from here on out. When necessary I will mark when given gear upgrades are recieved and when gems/enchants/specs/glyphs are changed.

1 Unused Taste for Blood proc (overpower)

4 Unused Sudden Death procs (execute)

1 Unused Bladestorm Proc (given the amount of time)

53.2% Uptime on Rend. Should be a lot higher, this means a lot of other missing thirst of blood procs and dot damage.

Play very conservative moving out anytime frostblast was off cooldown so I did not bother checking parses here.

The Highlights:

The biggest things that I need to work on are as follows:

#1. I really need to increase my uptime on rend. I think it should almost always be in the 75%-90% range and it just was not there most of the night. That is costing me more Taste for Blood procs which allow for overpower.

#2. Wasted Taste for Blood, Overpower and Bladestorm chances. I need to play a lot more conservative with my heroic strikes so that I don't rage starve myself. I cannot leave these 3 hanging on the table as they are nice portions of dps.

#3. Works with #2, I need to minimize heroic strike usage as I often left myself too rage starved to use MS. Although getting a 100% rate on MS is impossible, most of the time I am missing too many of them for my liking.

#4. Need to call for more hands of salv that way when the tank goes kablooy I don't follow soon after. Fueling Horkina's corpse explosion does not increase my damage.
