Awesome, can’t wait for 47 more weekly chores I have to do or fall behind—except as a Ret Paladin, I’m already behind because nobody wants me in their group. No buffs, no fixes, just more ways to feel left out. Sigh. Another patch of disappointment. #BuffRet #MMOorJob

Oh cool, another dungeon built around skips only Mages or Warlocks can do. Guess Ret Paladins can stay benched again. Stop designing dungeons around glitches and exploit tech—some of us just press buttons and hope. #BuffRet #LetUsPlayToo #NotEveryoneHasABlink

Blizzard… I barely have enough time to log into one character,
and now you expect me to design an entire house too?

Meanwhile, my Ret Paladin is still doing less damage than healers.
Fix the balance before adding more chores. This is exhausting. #BuffRet #Warcraft

Let your imagination run wild!

On the right side of the image is a small neighborhood with multiple similar houses. The homes have light blue shingles on the roofs. On the walls, the homes are painted off-white with planks of wood decorating the outside, giving the homes a rustic feel. The image transitions to a purple background on the right-hand side of the image. On the right side, the World of Warcraft: Midnight logo is positioned above the text, “Come Home to Azeroth.” Underneath this text, the subheader reads, “Housing”. The image is cut diagonally from the bottom left to the top right. The image in the left corner shows an example of a Horde home; it’s a hut-like house with a red roof and dark brown walls. It has many stones decorating the walls. On the right-hand side is an example of an Alliance home. The home has light blue shingles on the roof.

Legion Remix drops October 7th!

🏰 Relive Order Halls
⚔️ Wield Artifact Weapons
👿 Show the Legion they’re not prepared
At the very left of the image is Illidan holding his warglaives, with his demonic wings spread wide. In the background of the image is an ominous dark green sky with lightning adding to the fierceness of Illidan, as his tattoos and eyes glow a bright green. To the very left of Illidan is the World of Warcraft Legion logo, with the text Remix slapped on top. Below the logo is text that reads, October 7. Below the logo and Illidan are 6 separate images, all separated by rectangles with bright green borders. Each square showcases the features in Legion Remix. The left side, from top to bottom, shows off Artifact Weapons, Timeworn Keystone Dungeons, and Heroic World Tier. While on the right side, it shows off Class Order Halls, Time Warp Obelisks, and Bronze Cosmetic Currency.

Grats on the +12, seriously. Must be nice actually getting invited to keys. I’m over here rotting in the inn because I dared to queue as a Ret Paladin—apparently that’s still a war crime. Can’t wait for Blizzard to keep ignoring it while everyone else moves on. #BuffRet #RetLifeIsSuffering

Wow, Ret gets dumpstered now because y’all whined last season. Congrats. I can’t even get into a +2 without whispers like I queued as a wet noodle. I just wanna hit buttons and vibe in LFR, not be judged like I’m applying for Mythic raiding. #BuffRet #LetMeShine

The only thing queer here is the complete lack of Ret Paladin buffs. Thanks, everyone, for making sure my spec stays locked in a perpetual state of underperformance. But hey, at least WoW’s got plenty of systems that barely work to distract us from the real issues. #BuffRet #WoWPriorities

Oh great… a tiny win for Ret Paladin, I guess. Other specs can’t roll main spec gear—meanwhile I still can’t get invited to anything anyway. Huge progress, Blizzard. Really feeling the balance. #BuffRet

Wow, Blizzard… I don’t even have time to log into ONE character,
and now you want me to learn a whole new spec?

FFS, I’m still sitting here on my Ret Paladin, doing less damage than my healer spec.
How about fixing THAT before adding more homework? 😤 #BuffRet #Warcraft

The long-awaited third spec is here. Harness the power of the Void 🌌

Demon Hunters have an entirely new way to play.

Learn more: blizz.ly/3I565uj
On the left of the image is a Demon Hunter in Metamorphosis form, but it is all blue, purple, and black. This is the new Devourer specialization version of the form. The eyes are shooting out a large, bright blue ray of Void energy all the way across the left side of the screen towards the top right corner. Below the beam and to the right of the Demon Hunter is the World of Warcraft Midnight logo with text below that reads, "Embrace The Void," and below that is more text that reads, "Devourer Demon Hunter". The background of the image has many strange constructions formed from crystals, rock, and metal, all blended to shape a claw platform that holds a ball of dark blue energy or magic.

Nah, I don’t wanna learn SHIT, Blizzard!!! 🤬

PM me when Ret Paladins get BUFFED,
’cause until then, I don’t care about your fancy new zones or story reveals.

I just wanna do DAMAGE, not read homework.

Want to learn more about all the Midnight reveal information?

We have everything you need, all in one place: blizz.ly/4g1MyqU
On the left side of the image stands Xal’atath, the Harbinger who floats gently above a battlefield surrounded by an army of Void creatures ready to strike. There are at least 6 of these Void creatures on the left side of the image, each a dark blue and purple swirling together with very bright blue eyes and mouths that glow to reveal their sinister nature. On the right side of the image stands Lor’themar Theron, a Blood Elf, with his sword drawn and pointed towards the looming threat before him. He is surrounded by a Blood Elf army, with many of his fallen soldiers lying on the ground before him. In the background of the image, there is the bright glowing yellow light of the Sunwell that is radiating from a building behind the battle. In the skies above is a dark blue center that is shooting out bright blue comets towards the ground. In the lower left corner of the image is the logo for World of Warcraft: Midnight.

Of course you have no thoughts, Blizzard — if you had even ONE braincell, you’d BUFF RET. 🤦‍♂️

Get your eyes checked, we’re doing LESS DAMAGE THAN OUR HEALER SPEC.
FIX IT before I even think about buying your shiny new Midnight expansion.

No thoughts, just WoW: Midnight 🌌

📖 New story campaign + lvl 90 cap
🌌 4 new zones to explore
👤 Haranir join the fight
🏰 Silvermoon City shines once again
⚔️ New Delves, Raids, Dungeons, & more!

Check the full blog here: blizz.ly/4g1MyqU
There 3 large void creatures composed entirely of dark shadows. They have 2 eyes, glowing bright blue, and open mouths where more of the bright blue energy is radiating inside. They have open chests that reveal more of their blue insides. On each of their hands, they have huge metal gauntlets that go up to their shoulders. The metal seems to float gently above them as if drawn to their shadowy form by magic. In the background, there is a faded and destroyed land that is shrouded by a similar shadow that the creatures are made of. At the top right of the image is the World of Warcraft: Midnight logo. In the background are various floating buildings in the style of Quel'Thalas.

Oh wow, favorite moments in the Race to World First?

My favorite moment was when Ret Paladin was actually THERE…
…oh wait, Blizzard FUCKING HATES US so now there’s NO BUFFS, NO RET PALADIN, NOTHING.

But hey, enjoy voting while I rot at the bottom of DPS... below holy paladin 👍 #BuffRet #Warcraft

Oh cool, DUNGEON DATA TIME! Let’s see where Ret Paladin is this week…

At first, I thought the chart was bugged.
Nope.
Turns out we’re actually BELOW HOLY PRIEST.
A HEALER.
Season 1 we were feared gods, now we’re a walking meme.

Blizzard, FIX. THIS. 💀 #BuffRet #Warcraft

Oh cool, you run with tons of Rets? Meanwhile I’m sitting here with 4 hours to play a day, getting insta-declined from +2s because people still think Ret is trolling. Wild how it’s “fine” for some folks and completely unplayable for the rest of us. #BuffRet #TwoDifferentGames

Grats!! That’s awesome. Meanwhile, I’m over here playing Ret Paladin, can’t get into a +2, can’t sniff an AOTC, and apparently existing in group finder is offensive now. Very self-affirming couple of days for everyone else, I guess. 😭 #BuffRet #RetIsACrime

Awesome, a whole calendar of content I won’t get to play because Ret Paladin is still dumpster-tier and nobody wants one in their group. Maybe pencil in a buff sometime? Just a thought. #BuffRet #StillGarbage #ThanksBlizz

Wow, more pointless hotfixes that still don’t fix Ret. I can’t even get into raid, let alone benefit from a skip. Lol. Great balancing, Blizz. 👏 #BuffRet #FixTheRealProblems

My feed’s a little quiet too—maybe because everyone’s still complaining about how Ret Paladins are trash after last season. But hey, maybe if Blizzard followed the state of their game instead of ignoring glaring issues, we wouldn’t be stuck here. #WoWFail #BuffRet #FixTheGame
