Can we talk about Mass Dispel real quick? It’s s bad enough that Ret Paladins are a wet sheet of paper but their only good defensive CD with a 3 minute CD can literally be taken away by a .5 second cast that you literally don’t even have time to react to? Like wtf even is this? Something so impactful with literally 0 risk involved to counter a 3 minute cd. Not to mention there’s a priest around every corner because of how broken they are atm.

I don’t think MD would be as much of an issue if Spriests weren’t so god tier and Ret had better healing. No I don’t think MD is the issue, it’s the damage from the top classes that is the issue.

I would agree with that I guess… but .5 second cast to counter a 3 min CD still seems like bad design but yes ret’s healing does need a buff at least for WoG if you are going to sacrifice damage for it.

Most of the time when I play with a ret they usually rotate shield of veng, LoH then bubble when fighting an Spriest. Bubble should be last resort. But yea Ret would have a much easier time if they had bigger heals to keep themselves alive longer.
And if Blizz toned down Spriest you wouldn’t be fighting an Spriest every…single…game

Your other dps needs to stun/cc the priest. Don’t try to kick it.
Unfortunately that’s like 200 iq play for most dps though.

Can we get some dispell protection on iceblock?
Seems kinda dumb that you can just cancel out our big defensive any time you feel like it with no repercussions.

I don’t think MD was ever the problem for priests. It became an annoyance when SP became S+ tier with all the damage and instant CC and psyfiend changes it got (like getting shielded)
Then you throw in whats basically an instant cast hard to kick MD and ppl are gonna be saaaalty.
If SP was toned down tomorrow no one would care about MD even with it being near instant

It also dispels mage ice block. Oh look, you’re a mage

MD is fine
But the fast MD as a regular talent that doesn’t suck up an honor talent is insanely troll.
Having a virtually unkickable MD for every DR is really really really stupid.
Blizzard like to implement utility abilities that are saves for DRs (sanc, MD, blessing of freedom in Wrath). These are healthy for the game but the problem arises when you have a cooldown on the abliity that <= the DR of the CC. When I can MD every single trap thats bad. When you can only MD every other trap AND it’s a 1.5 second cast so it can be countered, this is good.

I just think how insane it is these devs get paid actual money in their actual day jobs to work on the game and they still didn’t see how buffing an already S-tier spec in PVP was not going to end well.
If I was half as incompetent in my job, I’d be sued out of existence.

Never play ret unless I’m leveling and if you noticed, this toon hasn’t leveled in a very very very long time.
Dispelling bubble/block is probably the least broken thing about MD.

I think void volley and damnation could use a higher cd nerf. I don’t mind the spec doing damage, but the fact that dotting is way too convenient for it kinda takes away the specialty behind the core fundamental playstyle of DoT classes “casting” dots for a prolonged duration of a match rather than instant dotting every 20-30seconds.

I feel like it became a problem when you could get improved mass dispel, I’ve been saying this for a long time as a ret and as a mage
and that’s saying something lol
Because there’s nothing broken about md
