i mean both are pretty balanced when it comes to which hero talent tree you play, its just prefrence but me personally i prefer having kick while bladestorm and stormbolt , makes me more agile with kicks and stuns
Slayer is my favorite also, but why do you say now with 4 set its awesome, 4 set for slayer is the worst in the game, most play 2-3 set and pvp or crafted pieces
Tired of reading this crap. The only proof of ret being broken are rage threads from 1800 victims. Real metric is how many r1 and 2400+ players a spec actually has at the end of the season. Last season it was warriors and our little blabbermouth kaligos at his cozy 1800 didnt seem to notice same as you so lets wait and see how this season ends then we talk. For now all i see is panic coming from shuffle heroes
Bro, if you make people in lower elo quit because of a broken spec, how do you bring fresh blood in pvp? If new or lower skill players just quit to one shots or 3 health bars + immunity, how does it help the pvp scene?
Why u acting like 3 healthbars is something new. It was a thing since vanilla.
Ret dont have one shots with herald
How low are we talking? At 1800 people dont get stuck because of paladins they get stuck because they havent fully learned their own dps rotation. Some specs like ret or bm hunter get a higher rating initially just because of how shuffle works. But that doesnt mean other specs cant do it — you just have to put in more effort. And if you dont feel like grinding then fine play those specs or just dont play at all. Someone else will push the real potential out of the higher skill cap classes. In any game there is always stuff thats easier and stuff thats harder. The spray pattern on an AK is way harder than on a P90 but for some reason everyone still chooses to learn the AK so they can onetap heads. Same with HOTS — playing raynor is way easier than alarak or kelthuzad, but he will never one-shot a squishy or cause nearly as much trouble for the enemy team. Hopefully that analogy makes sense
So you don’t think ret at this state is busted or? I just want some clarity

As PvP player I hate and disrespect stance when class which is popular have right to remain OP. /spit to that even
Evry class in WoW is fun to play if viable, dear blizzard stop that stance for E-Sport sake…
like everyone
on mop but mop was that expansion when every spec could be viable and have their own nieches and i miss that and i wish they went with that class design with current talent trees , instead of some weird trinket and aura buffs to specs and nuking their utility to the ground and damage
Mop is active rn. It’s only warriors.
Bro ladder dont represent esport.
Back in vanilla forbearance was on 1 minute duration also ret was pure melee.
Lay on hands was not ignoring healing reduction and was draining your whole mana and ret needed mana back then for everything ( judge and seal of command ).
Yeah, same. We’re all tired of reading your crap.
If you’re turning a blind eye to current rating distribution then sure, that’s the only argument. Also ignoring all the streamers and R1 players complaining in their streams or discords of course and ignoring the fact that you’re not exactly a high experience player yourself.
Nope. You can literally go to drustvar website and see how vastly overrepresented ret is on ratings from 1800 - 2400.

This is just 2400. The brackets before that do look the same.
Yes i have rank 14 pally in classic bro, loh didnt give forb. You use it last after you expand ur mana
And you are left without mana.
It drains all your mana.
Good luck fighting if you don’t have healing potion.
I play pally on classic, u can live on low mana a lot
It shoud represent fairplay and mirror of game balance, top players from there shoud go to esport AWC… So if it is competitive , fairplay must be keept, balance must be kept and it must be e-sporty.
There shoud be no room for privileged specs, even if 99% community play one spec it have no right to get free wins versus others, balance must be preserved by any cost. Only than respect will be earned. Anything other is breeding ground of hatred and disrespect and totaly not E-Sportish.
Exactly. And ret palas will never be good at AWC because their toolkit just doesn’t work for esports. While on ladder it’s completely overpowered.
we will see if ret wins next awc
