I mean, you get a poison that reduces enemy attack/cast speed by 15% or a poison that reduces all damage by 3%. That is pretty good by itself not including the massive amounts of damage rogues are putting out.

Developers’ notes: Some of Retribution’s main rotational buttons do not feel as good to press as we’d like so we’re making some changes to help improve these abilities. Additionally, their survivability isn’t where we would like so we’re making some improvements to their defensive kit as well. We are looking at Retribution as a whole and will have more to share in the future.

I’m glad to see this. The spec have many problems. The major ones are definitely mobility, survivability and rotational bloat (having 15 damage abilities with 4 HoPo spenders and numerous procs are waaaaay too much).

Me seeing Survival buffs:

[Flabb-illidan (Flabb)]

There is a difference between good and cheat mode…

[Jakearu-illidan]

Hey can you guys go ahead and just delete the Resto Spec for Shaman since you just don’t care about it at all? That way I can go ahead and just Unsub.
Thanks

[Myd-yojamba]

The Brewmaster changes to magic damage stagger are very welcome, however, there are still some annoyances in playing this spec.

Celestial brew and expel harm being on the GCD feels awful on a spec that has tremendous button bloat and maintenance buffs. Healing elixirs should also be made healing brews.

[Psycha-moon-guard]

Where death knight buffs?

(5414) RESTO IS PRETTY GOOD SOMETIMES! The shaman shuffle struggle! - YouTube

please blizzard check this video

[Slowpo-illidan]

lol you want more buff lol

[Sheara-silver-hand]

still far from enough on the PVP nerf end, you guys continue to be way to conservative on Melee tuning , but have np once again nerfing casters which dont need nerfed.

[Slowpo-illidan]

we got evoker the shaman 2.0 now

[Slowpo-illidan]

agreed they don’t nerf melee only caster

[Zurrain-dalaran]

@Kaivax

Developers’ notes: As we monitor the developing M+ meta and related data, we have recognized that Outlaw is overperforming. We expect this change will reduce Outlaw’s damage output in encounters with target count above 1 and below 8, as their damage is currently more consistent than we intend for dungeons and encounters that frequently present those circumstances.

You might want to check your data again. Sub outperforms outlaw in pretty much every metric except 2-3 target cleaves. Most of the top rogues have been switching to it over the last couple weeks.

You aren’t fixing anything, you’re just hard shifting the meta to sub rogue… Sub is the more powerful M+ spec because almost every pull is 3+ targets

[Hítchslap-tichondrius]

The problem with just buffing WW sustained dmg and decreasing their burst is that they’re too squishy to just stay in the fight and PvE people down. If you don’t kill someone with your burst your just running for your life for 1 minute against most comps. They will need some passive mitigation in order to Zug with the rest of the melee.

[Slowpo-illidan]

agreed monk need more defense
