It hasn’t been broken at all since the rework. Aside from S1 and SS, which has nothing to do with the ret of S1 in DF, the ret has had normal seasons that were pretty bad in 3v. In solo shuffle, it’s been maintained due to its class design and it allowed you to scale to a certain point, because it’s a class that can cover up the flaws of others, but in the time of organized PvP like in 3v, you already reach a point where people already know what they’re doing perfectly. The ret hasn’t done so well in other SS. And in blitz it’s mainly used for defense, precisely because of its toolkit, and in rbg there’s ss, I don’t know, but the rest of SS didn’t use ret. And in 2v, ret isn’t one of the best.
Not at all, let them buff the others too. I don’t care, except for the Frost mage, who by design, no matter how he’s in it, disgusts me. I’d love to see you when the lock is broken again. Let’s see if you can request an adjustment so the others can compete too.
Buff the Enha and the DK, it seems fine to me, they are fun classes that I usually play too
Its utterly broken and bloated with short cd defensives and nuclear dmg with the range of caster. Half its design is also procs so anyone with a pulse can play while they are also most forgivingly immune for all possible dmg.
Yea like the retributions that never give bop or sac for their team but guys climb anyway cause 3 melee lobby and 1 lock or something. So much skill, so much thought process. The average retribution is so bad they fail to even bop their team or doesnt know that they can play spellward vs dh,dk,casters. Yet it doesnt matter anyway as they are so broken they climb without having any general understanding of the game on any level.
Its one of the best dps in shuffle by any statistics.
Its one of the best dps in blitz by any statistics and its good because the mentioned reasons why it is broken.
Its one of the best dps in 3v3 because the mentioned reasons why its broken and you pair it with arms.
The first sensical thing you said.
Yet you are 2.4 in blitz as retribution, id love to see you play lock in shuffle. Very easy to talk while playing the most broken spec in the season by any metrics in any possible mode. Just go look at the ladders yourself and try cherry pick some specific case where retribution would not perform well.
Anyone else with common sense can see they are the best dps of the season if we look at all of the modes from shuffle/blitz/3v3 and make some median from it. Try downplaying retribution little more when its painfully obvious for everyone else that its broken. The most forgiving design with overtuned dmg. Pui puiiii!
Nuclear damage? Yes, last SS I didn’t stop receiving damage buffs because it fell short, and even then it wasn’t one of the best either. It had to be played templar to have some real burst, and even then it fell short. In this same one, they had to buff the damage, and there was also the bugged class, where the hero talents did not work correctly until almost halfway through the season.
The only defensive shorts are absorption and damage reduction of 15% (which by the way, they buffed this season, because before it was 10%) for one minute. The important CDs are 3.5 for the bubble, the impo is 7 to 3.5 depending on when you use it, and the anti-physics/anti-magic is 5 minutes, 4 if you get the talent. So they are not that short
The procs are because they have designed the spec to be a sustained damage spec, which was not the case before, it was pure burst. And except DF S1 and this ss, the retry damage was not too high, almost no one complained about retry from s1 until now. While those who played ret complained about the sustained damage design because they didn’t like it, they preferred to go back to being a burst spec like before.
And what rating are we talking about? Because a lot of things happen at low ratings. Colleagues who troll and don’t shoot defenses, heals who don’t use their CDs, or maybe you who aren’t doing it well, or you simply don’t have luck with the lobbies and you get the ones that hurt you the most all the time.
The most normal thing in high ratings is that retrys that do not use their CDs end up stuck in x rating
Of course, he is good in solitary ways because he makes up for the shortcomings of others. In organized environments like 3v, it didn’t shine as much
Sure, but because the warrior is now the best mele, and the retry covers the class’s shortcomings, giving it freedom and anti-magic against casters, making it a killing machine. But maybe this is because the warrior is very strong, and is the best mele currently
By that rule, the dk is also broken in blitz. The dk in arenas is sad, but in rbg things change completely, thanks to the control it has. And so we can mention more types of blitz
Statistics are statistics, but you have to know how to interpret statistics. The retry has been one of the specs with the highest participation in pvp in general since always, but it is not always good, in fact, most of the time it is bad or acceptable.
The last ss was not so good, no one complained about the rets, and even so it had a high participation in the solitary modes, since nothing prevents you from being able to play there unlike 3v, which from x rating, people did not invite you because they are looking for the meta. But in solo modes, anyone can play and that means that all those rets who could not or did not want to play normal arenas will play in solo shuffle, because it is more comfortable and accessible.
I am 2.4 because I know what my role is and I usually do it well. I can talk without the retry being so loud. But I insist, I want to see you here as you ask that they go down to the lock when it is broken again (because it will be again) so that others can compete with you and you do not remain silent.
I can see the statistics, obviously it is undeniable that it is very good. But there are also more factors to those statistics than the current state of the spec.
Clearly you cant if your trying downplay that retri wouldnt be one of the best dps right now in every mode or utterly broken. If you have no exp outside blitz and retri and you see even public statistics wrong for meta, why would anyone put any value on anything you say, its too obvious when its this broken, even its range is utterly broken that people are memeing it as caster. You cant kite it. We can either nerf it or keep buffing other classes along it.
No ranks really matter anymore honestly, people with 1.6 peaks have been on 3k since last season in blitz and theres currently people backpedaling in shuffles 1.7 ratings with 2.9 current ratings in blitz. Any worth on rating and ranks are just completely gone, the game is done. But still retribution is broken, there is no point trying to downplay it
i could tolerate rets being very powerful and high utility and top representation and ranged melee and everything. i dont wish classes to be pruned into feeling weak
