You made false statements regarding my original statements with no proof, why would I then spend the time to find sources for topics where sources have already been discussed or are readily available to disprove your false counterpoints? You cite the sources.
Yes, feral and ret had similar scaling arcs as warrior. Everyone knew that Ret t10 and TAJ were extremely good and likely reasons that they were weaker earlier. Just like how people thought that 100% armor pen late game was why warriors were weak early. But ret and feral got buffed, and warrior didnt, despite druids and paladins being more popular in raids and having significantly more utility.
Now both specs are above warriors. Feral is simming as the #1 overall dps in ICC gear and ret is simming as the #2 melee, above warrior and DK.
There should have never been any changes. If there were, they should have been done mathematically correct to not dramatically change class ranking in ICC like they did. A 12% buff to ret, and 15%-25% for feral (based on if you were a rank 1 bear weaver or a 95 parser) both obviously were way too much. Blizzard even admitted it regarding feral and band-aided with making their change to a glyph rather than default but this maybe affected dps by 3%.
Changing warrior’s Titans Grip to be -5% instead of -10% would have been about half the buff that ferals and rets got, but they didnt even get that. Rets and ferals maybe should have seen a 5% boost if they wanted to bring the classes closer to the same dps point, but instead they chose to totally reshuffle class balance by making high utility classes also the highest damage classes (lol).
Icing on the cake is Aggrend raids as a ret every week. Creates a big appearance of impropriety. I signed up for WotLK classic, not Aggrend’s private server.
