Post Ret Clarity

Rather than chasing the reworked FOTM hype (Ret, soon to be SPriest), I figure I’d just stick with one class and focus on that. Since Demo Lock is so OP right now figure that’s a good pick.

Any tips you guys can share? I still have lots of blues and greens and am trying to figure out what all the spells do but I feel like this class is calling me with how powerful it is right now

what is it with people riding fotm wave?

I’m getting off the FOTM wave, that’s what I’m trying to say by rerolling Demo instead of the FOTM classes getting reworks

I played my ret and immediately stopped after a day because I know for a fact it’s gonna be the target of repetitive nerfs.

My “post ret clarity” made me realize this.

As someone who also hates FOTM Rerollers I support you brother :fist:t2:

demo is fotm.

Nu uh

I mained shaman in classic->bc->wotlk. Picked up DK in wotlk and played sham/DK until MoP when I picked up warlock and hunter. I played mostly DK and warlock in MoP until the last season when I picked up hunter. Since then, I’ve pretty much just played hunter but sometimes piddle around on DK or warlock if I had time for an alt that expansion. I leveled Hunter, warlock, shaman, and then warrior at the beginning of this expansion because of how alt friendly it is but now I feel like a fotmer after reading this thread. I picked those classes bc they are things I’ve played before (except warrior) and I wanted to have the ability to get really intoxicated and mess around on them in shuffle.

Sticking to lock is a good move considering they always have at least 1 S tier spec at all times

I actually obsessively played shuffle when it was a brawl. Way more than when RSS actually came out. One thing we have all observed over time in the regular arena meta is the fact that warrior and warlock generally always seem to do well, in part, because they have so many potential partners to play with. They have a very good generalist kit. Many seasons they are very high rep but not necessarily considered “overpowered” just because more things work with them than the others, but plenty of other comps beat or were equal to their comps.

If you theorize this going from arena into the random shuffle environment, warrior and warlock are set up at their core to be the easiest shuffle classes to succeed with, long term (barring temporary balance issues). The reason for this coincides with the same set of reasons that kept war and lock so highly represented in regular arena for so long: in shuffle, warrior and warlocks “bad” lobbies are less bad than other things, and there are fewer theoretical “bad” lobbies for them. Juxtapose this against stuff like enhancement shaman that has been deemed plenty strong in the past despite it only really ever being played in turbo. Where warrior and warlock were set up to succeed dramatically for being quality generalists, specs like enhance are set up to be way harder on account of their design being so much more niche.

Did you have ChatGPT write that for you or are you just really bored? :thinking:

Oh definitely
