I’m playing Elemental Shaman, and i face 2 rets every single Suffle. Two last shuffle i got 0-6 because they OS me even on Astral + BM (trinket). Walls are pointless right now. I can’t kite them neither. And i also can’t damage then, as my fire shocks gets insta dispelled and Ele Sham doesn’t do any dps without flame shock active on target. Details says each ret dispelled 39 flame shocks during the soloQ (each round being -1 long cause i get delayed in an instant) , so i got flame shock dispelled 80 times during that time, not even counting in the Healer’s dispell on fire shock.
My question : when will be the game playable for something else then Ret ? Or should everyone just stop this game once for all ?

You still can’t damage them if they perma dispell themselves…

Then damage their teammates. They’ll also get knocked up constantly if they keep dispelling your shocks.

I think you don’t understand how it is to face 2 rets when you play a class with only 1 deffensive cooldown… Slow totem got removed, no more Fleshcraft, no more cd deff on earth elemental. Right now when i play against melee cleave, i run, spam frost shock, flame shocks, hope for lava burst procks (never happens cause mass dispell on fire shock), so i literally can’t dps, as for controls, even with perfect Static field totems and root totem, i just delay the OS that i coming for me… if i cast hex or lasso, kick into nature lock, game over. i’m talking of 2k1 CR games, and rets that are reaching 90k dps on details on that round. As i say, i get demolished, even with 2 walls active on me (i even pre astral shift the rets GOs, and guess what ? they don’t wait for it to be over, or swap target, they snipe me through the astral shift), there is NOTHING i can do.

be careful what you wish for, ret meta might seem very annoying, until you realize that as soon as ret is nerfed all you will see is lock and mage which will happen next season GUARANTEED when ret does eventually get nerfed, already know that mage lock or lock rogue will win the AWC because frost mage comps already completely destroy melee cleaves, with ret out of the picture it will ONLY be casters

PvP is a huge mess since SL, they just “shake it up” every now and then. That being said the Ret “rework” was an incredible f up from their side, that I cannot argue with.

How is ret in this state though? Like why are they not hotfixing? If you take any pride in your game, you should no?
I mean eventhough we laugh with blizzard, there are still real people there with real jobs. Developers, product managers, … I hope they are forced to just develop like this and not personally think they are doing a good job. You are not catering to a % of the playerbase, your objective is to make a balanced game so the whole playerbase feels somewhat ok. In this state, a monthly fee is downright criminal.

The more burning question is why did they even release Ret in that state, despite folks sounding the alarm already on PTR that it was broken op
Ret is balanced.
A class that on it’s own : - Cancels all offensive potential of most of the casters / all DOT classes, - Deals 90k damage on a 1min round , - Has 6 times more deffensive CDs then other classes like mine (elemental shaman), - Is NO more kitable at higher lvl, is not balanced…
He is trolling. Nobody with even a little bit of exp ig knows ret is not balanced. So dw, 10/10 troll

Without even precising that it’s a super ez-to-play spec. SO not even the high risk high reward is an argument here
Thats gone now though, only affects yourself D: But yea, before 10.0.7 aloot of ppl, even myself only looked through PTR notes could see the dangers on JOTP xd
The week before release of 10.0.7 on live, I have dueled Rets on PTR and they didn’t have such DMG and Heals/Shields. They were clearly dangerous and slightly overtuned, but not broken as they were during release of 10.0.7 or even right now.
Plus something like that happened to SPriests in SL, Chris Kaleiki redesided this spec and it was overtuned. And with SP blizz has nerfed it hardly during S1 of SL.
So it is kinda a pattern - blizz redesigns the class and in order to highlight it, they make it overturned.
Just to create an illusion that they are hard working, and they hear us.
Ur trolling ?
