Quote:Actually this is something that both myself and my guild lead have been wondering - we were randomly lurking the guild recruitment forums, and it seems quite a few raid teams are looking *specifically* for ret pallies. Is there some sort of gimmick fight that necessitates ret pallies? Because they don't seem to bring enough synergy to the table to be worth bringing, when as oldmandennis said the slots are already valuable with only 25 available.Retribution paladins have very little to bring to a raid. They have Sanctity Aura and they refresh all judgements with Crusader Strike--that's pretty much it. As far as I know, there's absolutely no reason to ever bring a Retribution paladin. All other classes have better DPS trees, and the tiny amount of utility that a Retribution paladin brings (which is specific to Retribution and not just paladins) is just not enough.
