So you disregard what I say becuase it’s unrated . You then disregard 2500 players . So whose opinion matters ?

Remove instrument of retribution, It’s bad for gameplay, have been begging for years, hoping your teammate dies during prog is just awful :), unfun.

Yup it’s really sad. So apparently something needs to be done about PVP, ok, that’s why we have separate PVP modifiers, please use those in the future.

You all are talking about how bad it’s been for sooooooo long…the patch has been out for two weeks, we did well in pve for two weeks. And we know how this goes as we’ve seen it before, this will be the first of a series of nerfs.

Yeah rerollers will cry, but what about those of us who have been playing this for over a decade? Jokes on us!

This is a ridiculous, sensationalist take.

Every single statistic pointed to them being warranted a minor nerf in PVE. You can’t just look at the +2’s people run where burst specs always overperform and make decisions based on that. At the top end they weren’t even a statistical outlier. Near the top yes, but not in their own category.

I think the 3% nerf was warranted, however if they go any further I’d argue they’re clinically insane or need to fire everyone who does math for them. I also look forward to the buffs they will 100% unquestionably give Ret when it doesn’t scale as well as other specs with the redesign in later patches. Thanks in advance Blizz for being 100% on top of that.

As far as the 12 people who play PVP, idc. Use the sliders and don’t ever go back to making the mistake of tuning in PVE to have a desired outcome in PVP.

I can’t wait for Rets to continue to have 0 representation in AWC, MDI, and WtWF.

Yes your opinion is not valid if it based off unranked bgs.

Streamers say anything they can to get more views on their twitch and youtube.

What they say is usually very far from accurate.

I would suggest you try playing in a high mmr ranked environment and then make a decision for yourself instead of blindly following someone who says anything to get more views.

That’s actually a nice start. Glad to see it wasn’t a massive knee-jerk gutting of the spec.

I can agree with you, I am glad they did not start with an over-nerf which has happened to others in the past.

I think for me the issue isn’t the nerf itself, it’s the notion that we have had other specs just entirely dominate pve in the past for a season (or more) and they are left alone to do so.

Can you stop tuning Ret in PvE based on garbage PvP data please?

PS. I hate stuff like 3% nerf. What does this do? Absolutely nothing. Either don’t touch it or nerf 5-10% zzz

A maximum of 4 underpowered Flash Heals is not going to “keep the group alive”. It’s barely half my health bar if I put them all on myself. Oh, but I can sacrifice a ton of my DPS for a Word of Glory or maybe two to throw a heal on a tank that barely tickles them.

We are only a “hybrid” in that we can be a healer OR a DPS OR a tank, there is almost zero overlap in those roles. You get to pick ONE and only ONE. I still get mulched if the tank dies or I draw aggro. If the healer goes down, my option is a) battle rez them, b) hope we can pull it out without healing or c) release and run back.

What’s the matter, you afraid you aren’t going to be able to go spinny-spin as a warrior in the middle of a pack and top the meter anymore?

Oh how I love the pvp community…

You literally cannot stop complaining about everything and the kitchen sink. Gets nerfed… “should be more”… gets nerfed again… “still OP, I’m quitting”… gets nerfed again… 'should be higher, this sucks, rets are gonna cry now"…

one second later

“omg fistweavers are OP! this sucks! I’m gonna unsub…” A handful of classes do better now because of Ret’s hybrid… "omg Rshamans are stupid OP now and do lots of damage… "

on and on and on and on ad naseum.

We’ll start seeing Ret/FW/ vs Ret/FW/ at AWC… “BORING GAME! DAMPENING SUCKS!! BLIZZARD YOU RUINED EVERYTHING I’M UNSUBBING…”

Literally. every. time. Blizzard. Changes. Anything.

You ALL really need to pick up a mirror and get your heads back in the game because all you do is complain, moan and cry about every. single. thing.

All the Ret hate is hilarious, it’s almost like making no significant changes to the toxic interactions in with burst (especially in PvP) was a terrible idea.

“I know let’s rework the spec with almost the exact same problems as the previous version!”

Saw it coming a month before rework release, so glad I didn’t decided not to purchase DF.

So much this! They need to stop nerfing PvE for the sake of a side game called PvP!

They have been able to do this for ages, yet they keep nerfing the PvE aspect, to get the desired PvP balance! Its off putting and not a good way at all to balance a class/spec!
