Thelass in general hasome pretty far sie Vanilla Wow where paladins were known asleansehealbots. You now have the spellsabilities to play a Paladin well as a tank, healer or damage dealer. I dont know how the other Rets feel right now but I'montent to be running about without theorete boots strapped on.
You know im not really aware of any huge problems with ret sp so far just swihed from prot to ret not long ago and im still wearing some of my tanking gear and im pushing out numbers i never even dreamed of before. As far as mana goes i havent had a problem so far at all just keep judging though until 71 you will have slight mana issues but you buher things so qukly that it should more then make up for the time lost drinking every now and then. In pvp i still wouldn't want to fe a ret pally over a deathknight at least with them i dont die instantly (usually).

Theurrent numbers just don't sustain a rotation, espially after youhange out your 70 Ret gear with its minimal mana boosts for 80 Ret gear whh is basally just warrior gear - your mana pool tually goes down.. The best way toope with mana problems as it is is to judge Wisdom instead of Light, make regular use of Divine Plea, stop usingonsrate and self-heals and to sk out Divine Storm every other rotation. That keeps you going. And here is my problem with the whole... "Ret thing". I don't understand why the bolded part there is notommon sense. You should not be able to spam every ability in your arsenal all the time and expt to never go OOM. That's not a problem. That's natural. It's theurse job of everylass that futions on the mana mhan to balae output with duration. Now, bk to Mazra's original ...

For starters, I would say reple JoL with JoW in that rotation and then let's see where you stand. Me personally? I've never seen a Ret Pallyome even remotelylose to going OOM when maintaining a Judgement >S > DS > Judgement rotation whether they're using Wisdom or not, but I haven't yet partaken in 10-minute raid boss battles, so I'm willing to believe the possibility exists. However, based on the Retommunity's retions to all the renthanges (in partular to Righteous Vengeae, whh you highlighted nely, Mazra), I would, in ft, need to tually see Ret Pallies being so "rpled" by their mana management before I'd be willing to buy it.
