Season 8 is the sex.

I posted recently about how I was more or less giving up on the paladin class for Wrath Arena.

Well I think I might just be changing my mind. I posted about awful paladin tier 10 really is, and after seeing the Season 8 set, I have realised that Blizzard still have the ability to make great looking paladin sets.

So it looks like I'll be droning my way through arena in S8 to get my full set. And I'll be wearing it in raids and doing 5k DPS with it because it looks that badass. That or they should swap it with the (still awful) tier 10 model. Fuckers.

Tier 10 set bonuses (Update)

Blizzard seemed to understand that Ret's 4 piece is terrible, so they went ahead and changed it.

2 Pieces (Damage): (Updated) Your melee attacks have a 40% chance to reset the cooldown on your Divine Storm ability.
4 Pieces (Damage): (Updated) Your Seals and Judgements deal 10% additional damage.

They swapped them around and buffed the proc chance. Whoop-dee-do. This ends up being an overall nerf, as we will be unable to run 2pc tier 9 with 2pc tier 10.

Please don't be deluded by anyone who says the current 2 piece is good. It's horrible and shows a complete lack of understanding of the ret paladin class on Blizzard's part.

On another note, the tier 10 models have been released for 5 classes, and they look good so far. We'll probably see what the paladin set looks like in the next few days, but my guess is that it'll continue the precedent of looking like shit that Blizzard seems to have set for us.

Love the 2pc for Ret, but much like Tier 9, the 4 piece is terrible.

Terrible. Terrible. Terrible.
