Q u o t e:
We are in the process of completing a hotfix that could go live as early as this afternoon that will make the Paladin talent Vindication no longer reduce Intelligence or Stamina from the target it is applied to. The talent will continue to reduce Agility, Spirit, and Strength as it currently does. We felt this change will help balance the ability out, especially in the lower arena brackets where they are very prominent, while not being a negative impact on a Retribution Paladin’s PvE dps.
Once this hotfix is live, the tooltip will be incorrect until we can update it in the next content patch.
Balancing for low levels of PvP is so moronic that I'm having trouble coming up with the words to describe how idiotic it is. I don't care if the talent needed a nerf or not, maybe it did, maybe it didn't, but the fact that you have a blue poster openly admitting to balancing something around lower rated players is so incredibly dumb.
In a competitive system you have to balance based on what the best players are doing since they are the ones that are pushing the limit for what is possible with their class.
If you are turning with your keyboard you have way bigger problems than "HALP RET TOOK 20% MY STAMS! NERF!
