Patch 2.3 and you: Palockter omnibus [UPDATE: Bigger quivers]

While you may not be getting quite so many changes as some other classes out there, your changes beat theirs in...sheer unexpectedness? I dunno. Here's what's slated for patch 2.3 for light-swingers, gunslingers, and masters of the dark:- [Hunter] We are planning to change Wyvern Sting so that it will be instant cast. (Drysc)
- [Hunter] Arcane Shot (ranks 6+) will dispel 1 magic effect in addition to the normal damage. (Drysc)
- [Warlock] There is a change for Ritual of Souls which will significantly reduce the time to cast and complete it. (Nethaera)
- [Paladin] We're pretty much focused on Retribution with 2.3, but some more general changes are being made like lowering the mana cost for Exorcism, Holy Wrath, and Hammer of Wrath.
- Another Ret change (just to keep the momentum going) will be an increase to the duration of Vengeance to 30 seconds. (Drysc)
- [Paladin] You're amazing, that's absolutely correct [referring to Crusader Strike cooldown being lowered to 6 seconds] (Drysc)
Update: Since posting this, Drysc has announced another pleasant change:
- How about 20 and 24 slot ammo pouches and quivers?

Woulda been nice if they never nerfed it down to 10 seconds in the first place.

A few more paladin changes for you...
The current effects of Improved Seal of the Crusader are now being folded into the baseline version of the spell.
Sanctified Crusader is being moved down significantly to become the new Imp SotC.
And Sanc. Crusader's spot is being replaced with the new Sanctified Seals, which increases the paladin's personal crit (melee and spell) rate by 1/2/3% and also reducing the chance that his Seals can be dispelled by 33/66/100%.

By the way, think we can get a 2.3 Paladins and you instead of this?
I feel rather short changed.

Gah... damned Retn00bs... Bring on some Tankadin buffs already!

Wow look for lack of work for paladins, well except the ret guys and more shaman love, and harder effects on paladins in PvP, such as the soon to be physical blind and wonderkiting ability of Frost Shock. JFC

Thats all? reducing the casting time on ritual of souls? Really? Soulwells took to long to summon, so thats the change warlocks get?

@7 Don't complain, or Blizzard will reduce fear duration in PvP to 5 seconds...
Better few or no changes that bad changes...

Who runs out of arrows?!?
GIVE US MORE PET SLOTS!!!!!!

@9 - I have to take a full ammo pounch plus several extra stacks to every raid to avoid running out.
I wish they'd increased the amount of arrows in each stack instead of increasing the size of quivers. 5g a night on ammo gets expensive very quickly.

And now for yet another reason Paladins should have had a section to themselves:
* Pursuit of Justice (Retribution) is now 3 ranks and increases movement speed by 5/10/15% and also reduces the chance you'll be hit by spells by 1/2/3%.
* Vindication (Retribution) frequency and duration increased and now reduces all attributes by 5/10/15%, not just Strength and Agility.

If they're just gonna nerf warlocks this patch (justified nerfs, in my opinion), they should at least give us green fire. How hard could that be?
