I play Ret, and consider myself casual while wanting to learn more.
Ret Mastery after I look at Holy and Prot mastery makes me feel mad and let down. Holy and Prot mastery gives you a goal during your play and helps shape the class. Holy is a healer by example and shoul be on the frontlines with his team. Prot picks holy ground and locks it down - getting real “You shall not pass!” vibes.
Ret mastery feels like a worse versatility. Its boring, single sentence, and worst of all - Its currently BiS to Mastery Haste stack.
I want it to do something that makes me feel like a Ret Pally instead of a Holy Pally or a Prot Pally, instead I just get to know that I’m supposed to stack it for optimal PVE.
It feels pretty crap to have a boring and best™️ dump stat on a hybrid class.
It makes me feel like Blizz doesn’t know how they want Ret to play.
