I completely stopped playing ret this season, we have no CC. Hodge simply isnt enough, a BLIND that you cant use effectively, its not ranged... you are trying to kill something, blind is next on the cc chain, let me woddle my way over to the healer to blind him while getting trained... Or lets spec repen NOT. your getting nuked as a ret in 3v3. Casting a repen just doesn't work. For holy 90% of the time they can get Repens off because they arent getting Trained to the ground..
So With Just Hodge being the only Real CC for a CC chain to land kills. Its just horrible.
Everyone talks about burst, burst what? 1800 teams maybe .. Any good player over 2400 will cc your brains out during your "burst".
So when you get 3 Holy power, Instead of using a tv on your kill target during your cooldowns, your Wogging yourself to stay alive. 2 mins later you bubble .. then you die.
That is why I switched to Holy this season on all my pallys. And believe me I didnt want to do it. Its just something that had to happen.
And the funny thing is, No one talks about it, no real changes to rets at all in 5.2. Im not sure how ret is doing in PvE, but im sure they are doing fine, because the pvp change doesnt exisit in 5.2.
I actually came here today to read what some of you had to say, I haven't really used the forum in a long time. But Im really surprised that no one is really raging over RET PVP.
Cheers guys
