The Ashen Verdict Rings

Hello.

I am very glad that blizzard implented a new reputation line, like with karazhan, with the new patch for ICC.
There are rings for all player-styles; healing, tanking, melee dps and caster dps.

But, I have noticed one major flaw with this system. There are no strength rings. Retribution paladins and other classes need strength for optimized AP. Pure attack power is not good for us.

Why have you left us out blizzard?

I believe I talk for every single retribution paladin out there, when I say this. We do not want a feral druid/ench shaman/hunter ring. We want a ring that benefits us, as much as the other rings benefits the other classes.

Blizzard, please do this for us. Make a fifth path to choose from. Thats all I ask for.

Thank you.

Q u o t e:
Can we PLEASE get a blizz representative to answer WHY we didnt get a strength ring, and WHY blizzard didnt fix the problem yet?
Q u o t e:
You already have

Q u o t e:
The reason we haven't added one is actually a frustrating technical issue that prevents us from having more than 4 rewards on a quest like this. We do intend to fix this though and add a strength ring in the future, we just aren't sure this will be done for the Ashen Verdict line or if it will have to wait until the next time we use a system like this in a future patch.

but seriusly is this really that big a mess? :o
If it was as simple as it seems it should be then the likelihood is that it'd be done, however, it isn't. The way these exact quests work means that adding a new 'path' isn't as simple one might think. :)

Q u o t e:
Will we be given a new path in a future patch? (In this quest line)
It depends how feasible it is to actually implement, it's being looked at but is certainly not a guarantee in any way. I do know there are plans to take a revise how these specific quests work for future implementations, though.
