At most percentiles ret is ~3rd for all melee classes in the game atm (within 1k of the top). For 99th they're tied with outlaw rogues, and at 100th they're actually the best.
While they don't usually get much love by blizzard, they are actually in a great spot atm. If anything this thread should be "Blizzard really does hate melee."
