So you want to know what other classes or specs have similar mechanics?
- All DoT specs need to "keep an eye out for their DoTs"
- Mages need to "keep an eye out for their Bomb spells"
- Rogues need to "keep an eye out for their Slice and Dice"
- Windwalker need to "keep an eye out for their Tigereye Brew"
- Death Knights need to "keep an eye out for their Diseases"
- Fury Warriors need to "keep an eye out for their Enrage" to determine when to use Bloodthirst, Colossus Smash and Berserker's Rage.
It's called Ramp Up mechanic.
Retribution lost their Inquisition but still have a DoT called Censure that stacks up to 5. Until the DoT reaches 5 stacks Ret are not doing their full damage.
Its primary function is preventing you from just unleashing your full damage out of nowhere.
If you want dumbed down gameplay I sincerely hope Blizzard finds a way to ignore your every word.
