First Shadow Priest, then Feral / DH, then Assassination / Disc, then Ret/ Fistweave / Demo / Rshamn. How many times are people gonna reroll? Whatever happened to just sticking to one class and getting really good at it? Whats so fun about playing something overtuned and easy? You see Ogs like Hansol and Jellybeanz who have mastered their class at a mere 3k while some clown Ret / Demo reroll can and will completely run them over. Game is just flooded with gross players who flock to the quickest and easiest way to rating.
because it costs like $20 to buy a boost 20-70 and 30 mins to full gear/enchant with boxes/boa honor, and the reward is you feel like a champ for hitting your season high on ur new ret pally
Play smarter, not harder
Think its always been this way. Just had some longstanding broken specs get a reality check from Ret paladin and they all swapped. Ret and its lesser accomplices are ruining the game.
@ me next time
I don’t see any ret FOTM. Been ret main since classic.
Ret isn’t even good. They just nerfed it.
If anyone is like me they have everything ready and geared. I did this so I could always play meta but if the meta is this polarizing it’s not fun. Pretty much if you’re not a rsham or mistweaver don’t bother queuing and my poor resto druid isn’t having any fun
Two reasons
- Low barrier of entry
- Extreme imbalance
If a certain comp or spec had a slight edge, I doubt the shifts would be as astronomical. But the problem is, Ret was made god tier/mandatory to play. I would classify it in a league above just “fotm”.
right now there are so many ret rerollers because in the history of this game (minus wrath prepatch) there has never been a class this much blatantly better than the rest for this long.
Because of meta chasing monkeys who treat wow like apex, fortnite, cod, etc chasing the thing that will give them the strongest chance of winning with the least amount of effort
That is literally the direction WoW has been headed for a while under the guidance of the community. Everyone asking WoW pvp to be more like those games and moba. Cant believe people like OP are now complaining about it.
Let DF be a lesson to blizzard of the danger of listening too much to the community. It did them no good. The whole exp has been far less successful than SL which was everything the community pretended to hate.
Rerollers are rampant because Blizzard has made classes so imbalanced that the difference between a bottom tier and top tier spec is over double player power.
Wod didn’t have anything like we have right now with 1 spec being the entire meta. So you are beyond delusional if you think what is happening has anything to do with the community.
No one pretended to hate grinding borrowed power and rating on gear
Why try to outplay the guy having a big ol belly laugh as he 2-3 shots everyone and his rating skyrockets when you can just join him and do the same.
Que into bm ret r sham as a fire mage and tell me the spec is worth playing after 10 matches of it
Could you boost an alt and have it full geared in a day in WoD? Genuinely asking as I didnt play that xpac.
Long standing ret main here, I think we all were ret before and just not playing and now we are someone what in a good state we all decided to pvp.
Certainly didn’t reroll just for this patch.
Sure could, even faster and easier too because ashran gave conquest rewards and if you were coming into the season late you actually gained more conquest per source than usual.
Again the problem is blizzard’s lack of balance or any real testing to make sure something isn’t incredibly over the top
Welcome to any sort of competitive online game, hell any game.
It might be hard to get really good at a spec when you’re just getting rolled by Rets.
