Playing With My Weiner 
I’m also going to reiterate my open letter to Blizzard regarding Retribution. We’re fine the way it is. There’s no need to apply the nerf bat.
I remember all too well how you guys screwed Retribution at the launch of The Burning Crusade. Patch 2.0 was applied, and Retribution was better than ever. Then you applied a patch just prior to xpac launch and you crippled the tree.
Don’t repeat the mistakes of your past. Don’t let Kalgan near Paladins or Shaman (Kalgan is a confirmed anti-Shamite), especially. Leave well enough alone.
And further, if you “balance” Paladins or Shaman by nerfing us for the .01% of your player base that participates in “eSports” (the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard) you deserve to have Paladins and Shaman flee to the refuge of Warhammer Online.
