Thread Necromancy. How do you even go all the way back to a thread that's over a year old, and then decide to post in it as well?

If I am not mistaken, it was SWP dps races that brought ret pallies into raiding as dps class. And many guilds took green geared pallies just for the buffs, upkeep of judgements and 2% flat of party. So, even green ret pallie should be worth it. However, gear him up and it will be your precious, doing very good DPS and buffing whole raid and flat party. Peace out.
