How about trying this. Instead of complaining about what the class lost or how it doesn’t compair to other melee. Try and learn to use the absolutly amazing took kit that you do have.
Ret is no longer a god tier class/spec. It is IMO right where it needs to be. Smack dab in the middle of the pack when you compair. Before anyone starts talking BullShiz Here are the Ret rankings for Mythic Uldir. www.warcraftlogs. com/zone/rankings/19#class=Paladin&spec=Retribution
It amazes me that people will always find something to complain about. I do agree with you that Ret doesn’t always get a raid spot but in truth that is not Rets fault that is the Devs fault on how they designed the raid encounters. With most groups not bringing more than 5 to 6 melee tops to a encounter and 2 of them have to at least be 1 Monk and 1 DH for the raid buffs they bring. So that leaves 3-4 spots for the rest.
Put yourself in a raid leaders shoes for a sec. You have 3-4 spots to fill for melee you have these possible.
DK-Unholy
DK-Frost
Shaman-Enhance
Druid-Feral
Rogue-Assassination
Rogue-Subtlety
Rogue-Outlaw
Hunter-Survival
Warrior-Arms
Warrior-Fury
Monk-Windwalker
Demon Hunter-havoc
So out of all of those who fits the best of the remaining.
