Ret Pallys

Do they have any chance at all at getting into a raid group? or is it a dream to think about rolling one for PvE?;P

There's a couple of us, including Smiter and I - you need to have a thick skin to break through all the trolls and haters.

I wouldn't care about trolls and haters but do you guys get into groups and such?:)

Yes, we both raid as Ret along with several others in other guilds.

Read through my guide for tips/tricks on how to play as Ret in Vanilla:

As far as I'm aware sanctity aura still doesn't work. If this holds true then what is the point in playing ret at all? Just do reckbomb spec at best.

Nost is big enough that there will be guilds who are bad enough to be willing to accept a Ret Paladin. It wasn't a real spec outside of Reck Bombing people until TBC, and even then, you'd only want exactly one per raid.

Roll another class or just be a holy paladin with a dungeon tank set on the side. Ret is not fun, nor is it very fun in TBC. I tried to play ret on ED but it just wasn't going to happen. I played ret in TBC and the damage was atrocious. Then came wotlk and we were faceroll kings and it was actually fun.

Sanctity Aura doesn't work with Seal of Command, but it works with everything else.

So what do you do?

You either stack multiple Judgement of the Crusaders to boost Seal of Command damage, or you simply use Seal of the Crusader and spam max rank Consecration.

Simply adapt your play style to the reality of the bugs here on Nost - there are work arounds.
