So far as I read yes.
Every class have what ret have (even more) and can do it better than ret.
Generaly this class don’t bring anything which is true, no matter how insane i will be geared how many spells they rework or how many dmg+ we got from buffs.
We need utility a good RAID utility same as on MoP we had aura mastery which was insane, maybe double sacrifice with no dmg take restriction etc.
How is it possible that every other meeles have some but we don’t ?
Lorewise paladins were those “support guys” who always popped up and save the day with some insane aoe healing or aoe def etc etc.
I am playing this spec from TBC and they are slowly killing this spec with changes that “DON’T EVEN MAKE SENSE” every expansion it’s worse and worse.
Give us back good stuff we had … raid blessings, usefull auras, any aoe def ability, or aoe raid dmg buff as cooldown.
Why you have to making changes that dooming the class, what is the point ?
If you missing ideas make a strawpoll and LISTEN to people.
And if blizzards are hypocrite just only because there aren’t so much rets as for example mages …yeah take a wild guess why. If people won’t just reroll cuz the spec is sh*t they just quit the game.
Get ur sh*t together and start doing something because this is ridiculous … because of the state of ret is … I CAN’T get into raid progress group, I am stucked at farm and trust me, I changed a few guilds now in shadowlands.
They need to pick a real position on what they want to do with Ret.
Either make it a real support-dps (I hope not) like they’ve been saying for years or make it a decent DPS class that doesn’t fall behind other classes.
Read my post again. I am not sure if you are not playing this game for a long time but looks like you dont. There is no real reason to buff damage, there is no real reason making ret stronger via burst.
Game is designed the way it requires class to PROVIDE for raid group. For what will be damage when you cant survive on mythic boss because his any aoe spell will wipe out the raid if there is none mass deff used? At that point my pick is warrior or Dh ( shout or darkness) even if the ret would do like 3k dps more. Start worring about damage the moment you gonna wipe for berserk/enrage which is issue just for WR 1-10 guilds.
Ret needs to provide with aoe healing or aoe raid deff or any similar support spell/s and on that point ret will be meta again. Imagine having back old aura mastery as it was in mist of pandaria. Insta ret pick for raid i guarantee you.
Please wake up already and stop crying about damage. Damage wont make you needed or picked for raids and m+ aswell
Auras if there aren’t other pallies, Blessing of sacrifice with shield of vengeance self or bop divine shield to ease dmg done to example healers/tanks in difficult situation.
Same goes for WoG if selfless healer is used. sacrifice one cycle/hit on dps to save that blind ranged casters ars etc…
Retries are way overlooked in raids tbh. Everyone expects melee to do fury warrior top dps.
Is retribution behind fury now? warcraftlogs have ret in upper middle, with fury in lower third.
Looking at individual bosses and not just overall, ret sits solidly above fury on the majority of bosses both in heroic and mythic raids.
