If you're using "u" as a word, then your grammar needs more effort. Your post is also kind of whiny.

Original Post:

"What would be the point if a retribution paladin is just as good as every rogue in arena and on top of it refills mana and brings his secondary skills along? Think about it, you are playing a class which can walk around the corner to the trainer and comes back as a "new class", e.g. tank and/or healer, which is still an important point in class balance discussion in my opinion.
In the end it would all come down to:"Hey, why should I play warrior or even a rogue, they can only dps/tank or even only dps, while a paladin is able to fulfill every role in the game, in PVE and PVP and brings some amazing secondary benefits." Automatically, all classes that can´t heal/tank would be much less fun."

You have a point, a well voiced point by many posters on many forums but how well does that logic stand up to how players choose their class?

Rogues can only dps, yes, but they can go "around the corner" and dps a completely different way. Why as a dps minded player would u want to go with any other class than that?

Paladins have one dps option and a somewhat gimped one at that. Unacceptable.

As far as secondary skills go Id say, the toolkit, outside of dps, a Rogue gets is excellent and would be reason enough to choose the class over others even if they didnt have the convenience of different spec options.

My point is I simply cannot continue to hear all of these "zomg no one will play rogue/war is ret gets good" comments anymore. Allthough the point is there it is not sharp enough to keep people from playing the other niches rogues/wars inhabit even if ret was exactly like either one. Wont happen.

I kept queing for practice arenas last week and more than half of my partners were Rogues all night long. Too many damn rogues; cant ret play too?

If Ret is not made to hold its own in its melee role lolret will never go away. And I dont think fixing Ret will break other classes or eliminate their role, it would simply add some variation.
