I've started playing around with boox, which I see many paladins are calling worthless and a waste of a time. I found that I want to take the other side in the argument on the subject. I've found that werdz is really a lot more viable as a smart dude than many players think. (l2paragraph)
Obviously there are pros and cons to everything, the biggest con to boox is that it doesn't cause as much extra retardation as no boox when all 5 stacks are up (its a shelf), or even as much as werdz. What I DO like about Stories is its ability to strike up to 2 targets when using ad-lib attacks and abilities that strike a single target. This obviously includes grammar and punctuation along with regular speeling. (l2paragraph)
The damage from patchnotez is immediate unlike beingwhollyoutoftouch which takes up to 5 months to max out it's damage. DO note that I do NOT use Commonsense in against raid and instance bosses as PATCHNOTEZ/boox is STILL the ret pallies main source of long term battle DPS. Werdz is my seal of choice against trash cans in both instances, lower level raids and outside, I can take out multiple targets quicker than if I used Pineapple/Lollipop to kill one at a time. Also, when L2Read is coupled with it's coinciding glyph you get 8% of your base sanity back from judgements while the seal is up. For us ret paladins who all never see over 10k mana (most of us are sitting at around 4-6k mana tops) that 8% can keep you from going insane each timesomeonepostsstuffweknow.
almost replenishes your mana back to 100% assuming that you judge often.
I really think that ret pallies need to take a second look at TEHSTICKIEZ as a viable DPS seal outside of Patchnotes/Wat, and I think Blizzard needs to work with possible talent changes that would support it more (like reading), possibly implementing it into the
Seals of the Pure
talent, it makes NO sense for it not to be included into that talent.
Edit:
Product of lack of sleep

Ok...Was that completely necessary. Look, I'm sorry I wasted yours and everybody elses time by stating what you already knew. I've been on hiatus since 3.1 and I admit I'm a behind on the current specs of the game. Seriously though, why does all this have to turn into some immature little bash the ignorant newb game? I apologize for even trying.

Well, the good thing about being humiliated so thoroughly is that it makes you really think about what you're saying, and that you actually know what you're talking about, in future posts...

I want this to go into the helpful threads section so bad, or even just stickied directly to the top of the board, but I worry that reporting it might send the wrong message to the mods.
Also, if it takes a little bit of ridicule to get the world to use common sense once in a while, that's definitely a price worth paying.

@ stnly and Nleith - look at the time stamps on the posts. Quest wrote his little ditty a fair amount of time before Bluberri came back to see the flaming and apologise for not looking at the stickies.
Any time you post something of reasonable size online (and if it's really as wall-of-text as Quest's post and other commetns imply, since I didn't see it), then it's either going to need to be really really good and useful, or it's going to be really really chargrilledbbq'd by forum participants.
Considering Bluberri's information is out of date, and has been for several months now, it was stupid (to say the least) to come onto the forums making all these grand comments about how awesome the SoC is and how lambasted it is by Ret pallies all over. It's the equivalent of someone coming onto the forums and going "OMG RETARDINS ARE VIABLE NOW!" and posting an eyesore explaining the key reasons why Divine Storm, Crusader Strike and Judgement do lots of damage.

Is that logic I see?

Come on, we all need a good laugh every so often.

Well, I'm fairly certain every paladin on the forum has taken a swing at me now. I took my beating like a man and came out better for it. I'm sure others will be posting on this for another day or two at the most and then it will just fade out into obscurity. I've now read the stickies and have them bookmarked. The trolls always win and, like it or not, every word we post is just delicious sustenance for their attitude and know-it-all ways. We are all just troll feeders...
I actually believe I should just THANK Quest for making his parody post so I would be motivated to read the threads and get back up to speed on the game and gain some working knowledge.
That said...For the love of God...just leave me alone now!

Quest, was this sort of insulting thread needed at all?
If you're tired or answering questions, stop answering them. People will eventually either get their answer or they'll learn to help themselves.
He's obviously not tired. You don't write 3 paragraphs if you're tired.
You're just tired of him not being tired of them not being tired of making pointless posts.
