Okay, just want some thoughts here. Guildmate of mine has gotten tired of healing on his Pally and respec'd him to Retro even though we used to lol at the spec together in the past. He just wants an excuse not to heal constantly methinks. :P
Anyway, I thought it'd be fun to see how he would fare as Retro. Thing is... he keeps using SoR? At first he still had a lot of Holy gear on so I thought it was only normal, but now he says he pretty much have none left and got mostly Retro gear.
He says it hits for about 700 each hit and is better/constant damage and SoC isn't reliable and all that. I told him about SoB but he says it kills him too quickly. O_o
Oh and he seems to put too much emphasis on +SpellDmg, even though he doesn't really have that much. Looking at his Armory, I see he picked a lot of the "Scaled" and "Lamellar" PvP stuff. (The gear with Int, Stam and +SpellDmg)
Anyhow, just wondering if he's being a complete nub about it or if it's actually a decent alternative.
If you want to look him up, here's his Armory.
What boggles me is that his Hunter is actually pretty good and he's pushing some pretty good DPS so he's not completely ignorant. Hunter has better gear, of course, but I mean he's always played him very well.
