People are sleeping on ret pally dmg output. I am literally dying because tank can’t keep on Aggro when I wings + overwhelming power crystal. I’m bursting 60k. Any tips on how to reduce my threat from Dps?
Bubble and BoP both are threat drops.
I don’t mean to come off poorly but ret isn’t being slept on.
We have a threat problem. This is known.
If our threat was an indicator for our actual output we would be the top dps in the game.
There are several specs in the game that can burst as hard if not harder than ret, and more than this, out perform us handily. They do this without dying from threat rip.
I hope they do fix our threat issues. We need a threat dump as reliable as MD in order to play without worry.
You can even use bubble or bop and still get threat back after they fall off, and further you shouldn’t have to use your defensives in order to hit your buttons. No one else does.
You are confusing burst with damage. Doing 100k for 10s every 2min out of the gate then falling off to 20 dps means you’re damage will suck but your burst will be huge. This gives you the problem of threat, makes you scary in pvp, makes you laughable for any content where dps “sustained damage” is important.
