The most recent Cataclysm Beta build is up and running.  Lots of new changes, including the increased level cap to 85.  For those of you that don’t know, that is max level for Cataclysm. Also, some sad news for our soloing adventures…Zul’Gurub (ZG) will be removed as a raid instance …

There are only 4 changes that affect Ret Paladins directly in this most recent Beta build.  What is more interesting to me is the current Talent Calculator set-up for us.  I have my thoughts, and I will share them after we go over the recent Beta changes.
It would appear Blizz …

Today, I get to work and open my browser. I check the forums on this site here, try to answer a few comments, and then move on over to MMO Champion to see the latest WoW news.  New Build info is up with class specifics!  Sweet!  Or so I thought…

Oh how the mighty nerf bat swings…Looking at this current build, my Ret Paladin morale dropped about three notches.  I have been hearing not-so-quiet whispers that Rets are doing very good damage on the Beta servers, and it seems it might be too good in its current state.  Check out …

Here we go again, yet another rapid Beta version released with more changes.  Some of the changes from the last build lasted only a couple days!  As always, MMO Champion brings you all the Paladin changes HERE.
For Retribution Paladin specifics, here are our changes.  I am still toying around with …

Well, lots of changes inbound again!  Paladins continue to get everything switched around, so let’s take a look at what is new (and there is alot!).  For my part, I am absolutely stoked about the NEW INTERRUPT, Rebuke!  Holy Power as an added combat mechanic is awesome, so utilizing this …

The Paladin class is being re-designed for Cataclysm.  We knew this much.  What we did not know was how much was going to change.   Sure, we will retain our attacks and basic talent tree abilities, but I wasn’t prepared for the Holy Power announcement.  I didn’t know we were changing …

(Updating continuously throughout the day!)
Update 1 – Check out MMO Champion for all the details on these changes!  I am working on links here, as well as my take on the initial changes.  WoWhead has not updated the info yet, but MMO Champion is current for those wondering.
Update 2 – Still …

Sitting on the outside of Cataclysm Beta looking in can leave the normal WoW player drooling.  We’d all love to get our hands on Beta keys.  But that’s probably not going to happen for most of us.
Keep in mind, in Beta, not only are you playing new content, but you …
