Patch 7.0.3 Class Tuning Hotfixes - Ret BUFFED!

[f00fights]

Surprised they didn't buff mastery. I've always thought blizz didn't like classes having a garbage stat like this.

Maybe they didn't want to change too many things at once? Sometimes I wonder if Blizz even hires mathematicians to work on class balance.

Mastery doesn't have to be the best stat for every spec in the game, and it's not like mastery is completely terrible for us either. It's only slightly behind crit for me.

Yet mastery seems to be proportionately higher on drops than any other stat. And it's not as though Mastery is a stat that is not the best but not awful. For a ret pally you want to avoid mastery like the plague.

Absolutely not true. You will still always want at least some mastery. If you avoid it like the plague, then its value will eventually rise to equal or above some of the other secondaries.

[Vanderhuge]

Mastery also peaks in value as targets are added - on any fight with two target cleave, Mastery will shoot up due to the J/DS damage (assume you've got some DS traits filled out) being put out. It also outright beats Haste/Vers when you're at 4 targets with Greater Judgment - so it's actually not a bad stat for Mythic+ and bosses with AoE phases.

is it just me, or numbers are the same?

ret seems in a very good place now

Anxious to see logs after the buff. Playing mm ATM cuz we need range but it's pretty boring thinking of changing to
Ret

For the younger audience here:

Ret paladin raiding experience in 40 man:

buff buff buff buff buff buff buff buff ...... and when you were done buffing you had to start all over as the buffs dropped. ( but then again caster specs were also using their Wand, yes .. the Wand , waiting for mana to regen)

Never forget this, the real reason why paladin was the best class in WoW:

I played a Warlock in Vanilla. So many soul stones...

22% uptime on retribution kinda explains it all.

I've also noticed no difference at all.

After yesterday's run, numbers are definitely not the same.

Just to clarify, something is completely broken. Warcraftlogs is full ok retribution palas pulling up to 500k single target dps with templers verdict alone being around 220k dps alone.

One of many examples:
