I've been playing ret for a very long time and this is the first time I've not been excited to play it.

Is what it is though and there may still be runes we haven't seen yet that will make a full ret build fun or competitive to play. I can appreciate them trying something different but it's just not for me.

My main guess is most classes (not all) will be taking their 31 point talent and they are trying to work around full 31 point talent builds which ret will never go into in a raiding environment. So they're experimenting with shockadin.

I'm not worried, this is only phase 2 but i probably would have rolled horde had a known ret was going to turn into this.Comment by eleshamanenjoyerBuffing OP class for ALLI but no shaman buffs.
