Last I looked they were at or near the top of the "destruction machine" list. I expect the mix will change with Cataclysm and maybe some other class will become the reigning death machine. As you say, they're not the "one and only" class to kill peeps with; look at the <a href="http://www.arenajunkies.com/rankings/2v2/">AJ arena rankings</a> and you'll see a bunch of classes. Pally's have also received some light nerfs since I wrote that post. They still kick some serious butt, though.

I haven't played a pally to that level yet, I'm just going by what I've seen in PvP and by what others are saying. You can probably pick up some good tips on the WoW Pally forums.

Ima lvl 72 ret pally and i do damage but im not killing left and right nd not owning 5 lvls above me. Plus ret pallys do not have enough attacks after crusader attack, divine storm, a judgement strike, nd maybe concecration there is nothing left beside hammer of wrath. i think thye need more attacks and atleast one more ranged attack!

I like that. Good term. Yeah, you're right. I never claimed to be any great shakes at PvP, though I enjoy it. That said, Ret Pallies are still killing machines, but they <em>aren't</em> unkillable. You're right that you do have to play to your strengths and understand their weaknesses. Codewahn… I like that. Good term.

Of course he is going to crush you a lot easier than you can crush him. Oh wait, a good rogue -CAN- take out a good Retadin. You have the skills, use them. I'm sorry if I'm sounding like a stereotype of a Retibution Paladidn, but another class not using their appropriate skills is usually the case when the Retadin flat outs crushes them. Not saying you're a bad player but I get the feeling you are letting the negative hype affect your skill. =/ Be well codewahn. codewahn, you’re a rogue and the paladin wears DPS-plate and wields a massive two-hander.

So based on that I'd have to say that everyone else sucks <em>more</em>. At the time I wrote the post the Ret Pallies were pretty much steamrolling everything in BGs and Arena. So they either figured out how to time their cooldowns to best effect or almost everyone else lost a few points in competence. I haven't paid much attention to them recently, so maybe I'll look into it and see where they stand. Yeah, right. So based on that I’d have to say that everyone else sucks more.
