All this talk of PvPFollow

Made me want to PvP.

Now I don't PvP much, I am a raid healer through and through. I dork around with my 2v2 with my brother, and have a 3v3 that was unused and just keep it around 1500. But I went out and did a PvP holy spec, put some golden spell thread on my s3 leggings and rounded up some solid players for my 3v3.

10 games went up 95 points, against some pretty good set ups of better geared guys. Even ran into a Ret pally, who had is couch down right molested when he thought he could get away with Repentance on me, for shame since I have bosac on my hot bar and saw him coming from a mile away.

Y'all created a monster.

3v3s are a lot of fun, unfortunately i dont have one on my pally.

I really want to try a war/restodruid/holypally combo.

Yeah i think it could work actually. Since a warrior doesnt require any "mana" he could just be a nonstop killing machine. I've gone up against a team like this with rogue/frost mage/druid and they rocked us.

haha, don't worry, i'm under no illusion about ret. neither is tommyguns. if you actually read what either of us says rather than seeing "pro-ret" comments and assuming we think ret is the greatest thing ever, you'd see that neither of us has said the spec is the best at anything. he likes to point out rets ability in PVP (never saying its the best just that its capable), and if you've noticed i tend to talk about PVE. i'm do PVP for the gear, not for fun.

and no, ret doesn't suck. but neither is anyone trying to say its the best. accept the fact that ret, when played right, is capable and can even be competitive with other dps classes. its ok. it won't kill you to admit that.

3v3 the only reason I mentioned Ret was because that was the only time we paid attention to one. As we headed out the gate and did class calls it was always "they have a Warrior, s2 gear, a lock decent gear, and a Paladin wearing s2 helm...oh nevermind he is ret" /win.

Locks are one of those classes that played well they can be a challenge but usually if we decide "I want a lock dead" he goes down faster than tommyguns mom on a banana.

Our make up was Ms War/BM Hunter/Holy Pally. I don't know how many Resto Druids cried when they went to travelform/hot heal themselves and found out I had Judgement of Justice on them. Mace rogues who ran who either tried to focus the hunter and met BoP or worse tried to kill me and got absolutely pwned by the hunter. PoM/Pyro mages who tried sheeping me/burning dps only to find BoSac up and sheep simply not working and me healing through their burst dps and my dps melting face Hunter + BoF Warrior just tag teaming them.

2 Mortal Strikes also helped in the outlast the other teams healer category. That and killing any priest therefore negating mana burn which wasnt too much of an issue. I am sure as we get up into the 1800's we will hit the gear wall and feel lack of resilience on the hunter, but for now we are having a blast.

So you saw that YouTube video too?






(sorry tommy, that was to good to pass up)

Because of your thinly-veiled attempt at Ret-ism in your reply:



We'll never let that go. Ever.

good taste = nil. RIP since '01, but cute nonetheless.


if there were a most solid 3v3, this would probably be the setup. maybe sub a lock for hunter.

i might respec Holy and download the FoL Spambot addon just to up my rating so i can gear up easier. then i can roll with s3 gear as Ret for some real fun.

While I agree mostly with that statement, the big difference between S1/S2 and S3 for Retribution Paladins was that S3 gear had resilience while the other sets did not. So S3 gear is better than it's predecessors for pretty much that reason.

Ran into a few War/Lock/Pally combos and didn't lose to a single one.

They always tended to try and burn me down, which betwen frost trap, the aoe fear of way, and my 10k+ health/amazing mit meant I could eat a lot of pain before being forced to pop a bubble. Locks tended to be so squishy that if a Warrior/Hunter gets on them they die fast, MS forces bomb heals which tends to make a differnce. If I hold my stun for when the lock is at 70% or perhaps when my warrior is at 100 rage and then unleash it on the other teams holy pally I put them in a world of hurt.

Take the lock down and it is just a Holy/MS left, Holy should be next to oom thanks to mana sting from hunter and having to bomb heal the lock. My dps is topped off from whatever dots they had on em and I am as well, if MS focuses on me I can have our war hamstring him and BoF myself and kite MS warrior into a frost trap. If he tries for the hunter BoF wins the day again, bop and standing 40 yards away helps as well, since warrior will automatically try to run for me which means a run + intercept/charge and then having to run back to hunter if he so chooses.
