Okay, I'm aware of what I thought was a bug on the test realms concerning a 15% decrease in damage caused by forbearance, but people only seem to talk about it in relation to BoP.
Can someone explain this to me? Does only forbearance caused by BoP make this happen? Is it truly a bug or is this really, actually going through? Has a blue made a statement about it?
If this is not a fallacy then I just might throw up.
And now I'm reading about a general DPS nerf. I'm so confused! Can a blue possibly justify some of this to me or atleast explains things? I'm really feeling very sad about my class because I'm so uninformed at the moment.

A damage reduction of 15% was going to be applied to Forebearance in the upcoming patch. However, at a sort of last minute decision, the changes were pulled, but remained in the patch notes.
In context with Blessing of Protection, the damage reduction would have been applied to another player, which would not be something anybody wants, really.
Basically, we're testing the patch and making changes. Most of the Paladin changes have been pulled.
The currently active patch note is "The slowing affect from "Avenger's Shield" is now considered a snare, so snare removal and immunity affects will now work on it." and that's it so far.
Now, the devs have been considering finding another path of damage reduction, but are not sure exactly what form it will take.

Q u o t e:
Is the nerf to burst damage going to be put on this same test realm eventually? Or is it coming in a later patch?
The devs may devise something for patch 2.0.10 (this patch) which might deal with smoothing out some damage potential. They are testing now, so it would be a reasonable time, but there is no definite schedule that I am aware of.

Q u o t e:
So a 15% damage reduction applied to Forbearance was intended but just to the Paladin who cast it?
Basically, yes. The devs were looking for some temporary damage reduction, but obviously couldn't use this specific method of Forebearance to apply it.

Q u o t e:
I'm fairly certain that no CM nor developer has mentioned the ret tree as the focus of the upcoming burst damage nerf, nor are Avenging Wrath, BoP, or Divine shield "Ret abilities". They are abilities for all paladins, and likely the nerf will come in some as yet unforseen form, maybe even as a "shift" rather than a nerf, such as a new mechanic for an existing functionality.
Agreed. This is what it looks like to me at this point in time.
