If you read my post carefully i was talking about last season and 2.6kcr+ which was a safe glad cut off. Personally when i talk about PvP balance, i tend to refer to glad lvl game play, because ppl at that cr actually know their classes and can play to their maximum potential. For example, wars are easy win lets say around 2kcr, but when you are facing a glad cr war team, those wars are scary foe to face.
Our survivability consists of 1 bubble thats all, rest can be dispelled and does gets dispelled or SS/Purged the moment you use it, but only by good players, hence i dont consider 2.2k bracket when talking about class balance. Ppl still go for a Ret kill most of the time @ higher bracket, its a good example that Rets are far from having "unparralleled survivability"
Utility is good, but i wont call it the "best" but i guess its just a personal opinion, but Rets on par with Dks have the worst mobility in pvp, so we need utility.
Healing? we go oom after 4 casts, and no1 will let Ret hard cast while they train Ret, cuz of kick=dead.
Sir, if you are saying Rets are OP, then logically you are saying Ferals/FDKs/WW/Arms are MORE OP since they had higher % representation end of last season above 2.6k on US servers.
Every1 has insane burst dmg atm in game, and Ret is not even the highest burst spec atm, Enh/WW/Arms/Demo and list goes on.
It is cute that you believe that i rerolled Ret over night, I played Ret for almost 10 years, and I am Glad on my Ret from the past when Ret was not as good as it is now. Every season i actually participate i hit 2.4k+ no matter how good or how bad Ret was over the past 10 years, so my skill level does not change with class changed.
and when you say "your class is borken" it is purely ur opinion, i can say the same about BM/Enh/Lock and it would be my opinion too, based on most recent Blizzcon finals, but you do not see me jumping ppl whom i dont know saying their skill level is very little and they got carried by their class when i face them @ 2.5kcr + arena.
if you filter to 2.5kcr (Glad range) out of nowhere, Rets becomes only 4th most represented DPS on US, while FDK, Shadow, Feral above Rets.
