Now I'm going to make it official. I'm sure many of you have heard me mention this before but Vulk will be going Ret to level to 80, and then staying Ret for Raids. That Right, I wont be around to heal for you and play fun games like "How Low Can You Go?" (tanks are going to miss that one). I will be there to pew pew for you all in raids.

Lately I have made browsing WoW Insider and MMO Champion making it my twice daily routine. I have been drooling over the paladin changes since they first announced them. Of course there is a nerf coming for damage but its still beta and as of now nobody's damage has been equalized. Bottom line though is that they have really done a 180 and take a deep look to fix the Ret tree. They have changed almost everything about retribution paladins and have tuned it to a 100% viable class spec now!

To begin I will go over some of the changes they have implemented to improve the spec. I say some of them because I am bound to miss a few because,as I said, there is so damn many changes lol.

Starting with fundamental changes:
Seals: They have completely reworked the seal and judgment system. Seals now last 2 min and are no longer consumed by judging. That means that paladins no longer have to judge and reseal every 8 seconds saving immense amounts of mana. In addition seals proc from Crusader Strike and, our new ability, Divine Storm adding a decent amount of damage.

Judgments: They have removed the Judgment spell we all know today and have replaced it with three different spells that all ad a debuff. Judgment of Light (restore health), Judgment of Wisdom (restore mana), and Judgment of Justice (prevent fleeing and limiting movement speed). For ret this means that we no longer have to seal, judge then toss up our damage seal allowing us to focus on dps.
