As for why these two might be perceived as OP, I will hold off on any theories. For one, I don't really hear anyone complaining about Ret Pallies. And as for DKs, people have complained about them since the expansion launched.
See my reply to you in the other thread. I believe it's because BGs are often played with little to no resilience and low-stamina items, so the winner is basically the person who can get the fastest string of crits off. As such, Arms Warriors, Ret Pallies and most DKs are at the top of that list due to instant-cast abilities.
In PvE, Warrior and Pally DPS doesn't scale up as fast as the other classes with equipment. Likewise in PvP, Ret Paladin ability doesn't scale up as fast with skill. A skilled Ret Paladin will utilise his Repentance, instant-heals and his Hand of Freedon more effectively. A skilled Frost Mage will be better at kiting, better at utilising CCs, roots and snares, and will be faster at taking advantage of uncontrolled roots. They also won't sit there and take a beating when stunned, as so many people do.

I don't have a DK, so let's have that cleared. I play a Restoration Shaman in arena and agree with this. Death Knights
were
overpowered, but in my opinion aren't anymore. But ofcourse remember my class, I can cure his diseases without doing anything if they leave my totem alone. Also they're quite easy to kite as the only thing they have to get in range is COI and DG. After they cast DG I just go in GW after casting an Earthbind Totem if I need to kite.
I haven't encountered them with any other class but I remember when I played my Druid at the beginning of WOTLK when they had a HOT remover and to me they felt very much OP.
In conclusion I believe DKs have been nerfed enough already, that is to me as a Shaman ofcourse.

Everyone missed the IBF misconception. It works in much the same way as Hand of Freedom, except that you can only cast it on yourself and, even if speced (Frost only, btw) it wont break stuns. Im not the most experienced pvper in the world, but looking past my slight lack of skill I can say that we arent too OP anymore.

the warrior in this video just sit on his mount and let the ret hit him until his half hp only he comes down and he doesnt know how to hamstring.
and the frost mage doesnt know that he can blink out of stun. He only cast that ice barrier when hes hp is red.
and for DKs......i have level 78 DK and i have NO action bars only 2keys i spam first is macro for chain of ice and death grip sacend one is for 4 or 5 attacks in one key.
u can try that at higher rank arena
Lulzarena, I hear it's hard to run around pillars amirite? kkthnxbai
