how are ret pallys doing in midnight ?
Quick Scoop: Ret paladins in Midnight look mixed but playable right now. The forum chatter is split between players saying the spec feels worse after recent buffs/nerfs and others saying it’s still pretty solid, especially in dungeons and acceptable in raids.
What people are saying
One Blizzard forum thread says the spec currently “feels kinda bad” after buffs and nerfs, with complaints about damage and rotation gaps.
At the same time, another post argues the Midnight changes are positive overall , with better access to paladin utility across specs and a more favorable feel for some players.
Current vibe
- Damage: Not universally seen as top-tier; some players think ret is underperforming compared with other specs.
- Dungeons: Community sentiment suggests it may be near top-tier for dungeons.
- Raids: Generally described as solid but not dominant.
- Feel/playstyle: Opinions are split, with some liking the Midnight direction and others worried about pruning and downtime in the rotation.
Practical read
If you mean “good enough to play,” the answer seems to be yes. If you mean “clearly meta-defining,” the current discussion leans no , at least based on early Midnight forum sentiment.
“Yep, it’s almost top tier for dungeons, and deals pretty solid dmg in raids as well.”
