like im full hp, 100%, then 5s later im like -20% hp ?
im like WTF just happened here? its not every time, but mostly…
Does this happen to pertain to a duel/1v1/skirm setting?
I hate to break it to you but pretty much every dps spec in the game can do that, ret burst isn’t what it used to be. The dots though, that’s the real deal

5 seconds seems very reasonable compared to a lot of specs burst rn.

Ret burst is whatever but I think their overall damage is too high

It’s too easy for them to do damage
Other specs at least require some setup
Which specs?

Ret is quite over the top. If a non-pally player like me can get 1800 in mostly greens and only 9 lobbies, there’s a problem. Warrior was similar though.
Ret is very easy to do decently well on, that doesn’t mean it needs nerfs, and the burst is legitimately not high compared to many other specs.
Also, I played arcane mage last season for the first time. In ten shuffles I got 2k with 2300 mmr, 1800 is incredibly trivial on any spec.

the rets are back in town
Ah yes, exactly. That’s why rets still show up in shuffle at high rating despite being undertuned and an unpopular class. The small sample of dedicated rets are simply better than the rest of the playerbase and their extremely high skill ceiling allows them to succeed in uncoordinated environments.
If anything, healers could use a nerf to their damage and pruning of their kit so shuffle feels a bit better overall imo.
The range and the dot damage is a problem plus their multiple immunity. You cant even see they hit you but lose 80% hp. REMOVE RET RANGE. Its a damn melee class. Then REMOVE BUBBLE FORBEAREANCE talent.
No matter if ret is good or crap this OP will never stop complaining about ret
