Got hit by a 24k execution sentence today. It only hits these crazy numbers when it crits, but this design could be a serious problem in SL. 20% of damage dealt to a target while execution sentence is active is dealt at the end. this final hit can crit and thats taking 20% of damage dealt x 2 if it crits = a 40% damage buff for 8 seconds on top of how powerful wings already is… dumped into 1 single hit.
On a more serious note, I enjoy when arenas feel more fast-paced like it is currently. I think that having abilities that can 1-hit or 2-shot people are really fun and good for the game (WoD warrior seigebreaker, 5 stack taste for blood, prismatic crystal memes… the list goes on)
Unfortunately, this method of 1-hitting people is way to consistant especially when most rets have ~50% crit with their cds up and can bubble to prevent getting peeled. if they make the 20% damage at the end not scale with the ability critting it should bring things into line without killing the talent. cheers!

Not how it works
Idk about that. Also bubbling aggro is a lot like blocking aggro but way more punishable if you live the go the ret bubbled for.
You have no idea what you’re talking about. I have to be getting baited.
Stop crying about pre patch numbers.

I play ret myself, you understand fundamentally how it works, but you are slightly incorrect. Regardless, I agree with your sentiments, ret definitely is overtuned, both numbers wise and design wise, and could probably use a few nerfs.
I like being powerful but at this point, when I play my ret, I just feel like a God.

Even on beta ret is pretty ridiculous. Pre-patch is very similar to beta. The specs doing absurd amounts of damage are the same as the one doing absurd amounts of damage on beta.

Fair. However our more toxic element is our self healing via healing hands wog which from my understanding isn’t as good at 60 as it is now.
ES is a really toxic ability and I don’t support how it is, however still has counter play. To be able set up 70-0 ES requires a decent amount of globals that are fairly predictable.

Use a defensive.

BfA rogues and warriors as well (ofc I got a whisper from a warrior saying warrior is bad rn)
Not sure if that is how it works but doesn’t matter. The point is there are going to be insane damage multipliers and ALL legendaries are getting buffed soon. The design of SL is synergy between several things to lead to Mombowombo 1 shots or high burst periods. That is pretty much all class design of every class/spec.
Can’t figure out who was that lol

I can’t wait to see an enhance maybe like once out of 25 games before chain harvest nerf, and then maybe one out of 300 games after the nerf.
