Seems that all the locks went crying and rolled loladins, yes you are all still loladins because your insanely over powered compared to every other class. If you can't with in your current state you must have had your nose amputated.
Let me give you an example .

Hunter sees paladin coming. Hunter drops frost trap sends pet in and fires off a couple of shots. the paladin stuns the hunter from 3 yards, he then walks around the trap with all the time in the world and stuns the hunter again before taking the hunter below 50% health in a split second with attack that also heals. This hunter is good, he pops deterence for all the good it will do, wingclips and disengages neatly over the frost trap and fires a concuss shot, a viper sting and decides to leg it. While popping a hs he was lucky enough to have. The paladin simply pops HoF and runs straight over the trap at 115% speed And hits the hunter in the back from 20 odd yards away. (when is melee not melee? lol). The hunter is back down to about 20% health with a paladin closing down fast. The hunter is a good kiter and is gradually wearing down the paladin, almost in kill shot range, one more hit, yes. Hits killshot, hmm, eh? oh the paladin has bubbled , 12 more seconds to run without been hit and even then i know his repentance cd will be back up and he still has plenty of time to pop in a heal and even use LoH.

thats why paladins are overpowered. Why can't paladins get this though their skulls, no wonder ever noob under the sun has rolled one.

Let me get this straight, then. Just because a hunter (you, yes you) can't kill a ret pally once, they are OP? That's some good reasoning you got there for a class that has two anti kite abilities - HoF and bubble. If they are on cooldown, paladin is fucked. HoF does have a relatively short downtime, I would agree. But it is needed that way. Why? Because paladins have no abilities to catch up. Not a single one. Their only chance to catch up is to run at 115% speed. That's it. What do you have to catch up? Aspect of Cheetah and Pack, at the cost of a daze, if hit. Naturally, you would ofcourse want to get out of melee, and you have Disengage for that. Honestly, given the said tools I really find it hard to believe you can't kite a paladin in a battleground or world PvP, not saying absolutely anything about arena, because I hate that minigame with a passion.

Don't worry, bubble is getting nerfed next patch, and I as a paladin player see it fitting. Bubble should be used for defense, not offense.

I know you're a liar simply because our cooldowns on stun aren't that fast. Try again.

Not a liar, persay. More like an inexpereinces player trying to seem good. Or mediocre.

Repenetance isn't a stun and breaks on damage, and trinketing out of that IS a death warrant. Furthermore I find it funny that this would work pre 3.0 as the poster says, when you all you had to do to kill a paladin was auto-attack, unless you're a healer, which you'd just need to Auto-attack and heal yourself through the pisspoor damage.

I've been able to beat plenty of Retters on my Mage as well as my shaman, and seeing comments liek these always make me want to shake my head in disgust. Paladins could have all their tools taken away from them again and we'd all be back to square one, being the class(s) you play have a heavy impact on whether your good or not, not just your skill.

And a paladin that's still told to sit in the back and healz is retarded.
