SP isn’t just “pretty strong”, it’s pretty much all-around overpowered, if anything. Same as Ret, Sub, MM, Affli, yada yada yada.
For sure. Hence why I don’t understand all these people making QQ threads since prepatch day 1. I mean, people need to realize that we’re practically playing “Level 50 twink Arenas” at this point. No use asking for balance during this stage of the game.
Imagine if, say, during MoP, people were asking for balance changes on the level 70 PvP Bracket. Not that the request would be illogical per se, but it does take that hue when Blizzard’s methods of “Do nothing and win” have been known since quite a while now.
I met several rets and it was really fun, because they couldn’t do anything at all.
The only thing, that is strong are their defensives, their heal and bubbles, and thats more in bgs, when multiple dds are hitting them and cc does not matter much as it breaks anyways.
But, yeah, rets and many other melees cannot touch arcane mages at all, jus HoJ is nothing, as we do not use skimmer anymore and just blink out of stuns. then here is 30 sec alter time and 45 sec temp shield, greater invisiblity, slow and speed on one of our most important spells we spam.
Then, there are the other overtuned casters, ele, affliction lock and spriest, gl to fight that, strong slows and cc kit + burst certainly works in the castercrafts favor.
My conclusion of this is, devs shouldn’t nerf ret burst, but rather buff other melees burst to their level, so that they could 2 hit casters to stand a chance even, because getting into melee range and work through, def and absorb mechanics as well as cc is enough trouble for melees allready.
