is dragonflight season one the first WoW season that you played?
there is always a meta… there are always flavor of the month classes…
the meta classes always changes. the only thing that doesn’t change is that there will always be a new, different class/spec as meta.
so ret paladin is meta now? ok… destruction lock was meta in season 3 of shadowlands.
prot paladin is meta now? ok… prot warrior was meta early season one DF and blood dk was meta season 3 and season 4 of shadowlands.
what’s your point?
