We need that rework? Yes
Can we expect we're going to have it? No

If there's one thing I'm not, it's in control.
Why, it's a pretty solid indication when looking at top guilds and what they run which classes are good, and that's a fact.
If Ret was good, they would use them because their is a plethora of ret players. If it's not, they won't.
I get tired of people trying to invalidate legitimate facts and statistics, and hard numbers with anecdotal evidence, and sample size of one experiences with said class.
Pretty much. People are running a ret in mythic because it's good for KJ, and has a few fights it's middle of the pack in. It's not completely horrible, but it's bad enough overall that it deserves a tune, however it's "high enough" that they're ignoring the numbers and focusing on Crusade. I'd rather we were actually at the bottom so we would get attention. Being next to the bottom is much worse.
I just want to be rid of the #!"¤!"¤!"¤"! holy power..lightcrap that we have..
even if they don't swap around talents we still need a straight % increase in the magnitude that feral and frost got, then ret can be great aoe and alright in ST.
Its probably only going to be band-aids right now until the next xpac and they can do another rework. I would like to see DP made baseline again, make crusade baseline for Ret, remove the stacking mechanic of it just have it start off at "full stacks", lower the amount of damage and haste, and remove Wrath of the Ashbringer from the artifact weapon, I would say replace it with a relic that increases the damage of ALL spenders, including Justicars Vengeance and Execution Sentence, these two spells seem very well suited for DP. Finally throw in a flat damage boost to the entire spec. It would (hopefully) make the spec more consistent while lowering burst DPS output. Oh and bring back the sword of light mastery, no more of this fucking judgesmash
So... i'm not expecting it.
Quite honestly... i don't think they care. The thing is, Crusade is cool, but it has problems, and i don't think theres a way to solve them in a satisfying manner. Crusade is very powerful with the artifact, but its a damage loss without it.
So... the only way to balance it, is to make the stacks less prevalent and the base value stronger. So... like starting at 35% damage and gaining 1% damage and 2% haste per stack. But... this just defeats the purpose doesn't it? So, i think crusade is gonna get removed next expansion with the rework we will get and they will just let it run along with minimal fixes for the time beeing. They are purposidly letting us be weak cause they want less backlash when they change things, just like they did to demonology back in WoD.
That is what i believe the situation to be. I wish they could at least buff mastery until then though.
No such thing as "too much synergy".
But there can be not enough synergy, or none at all.
See: Retribution talent tree.
I assume "our round" is coming up; Feral and Frost have been in a bad place most of this expansion, so they went first. Just the mere fact they addressed, for Frost, all the effort/synergy being pumped into a single ability shows (in addition to their past comments) that they want to break a reliance on Crusade. It's kinda like doing "spec triage;" you attend to the ones in the worst shape and go from there.
I really like how Ion operates, it's miles better than the last guy's "If you don't like the other talents, don't take them, now get lost" attitude.

Well there's that, he's less of a raging bag of frothing manhoods that is Tom Mace Stun Chilton.
We won't get the rework we need until next expansion most probably
It's the ties that bind, I think.
Friends made, fun had, nostalgia as a whole, not being or willing to withdraw completely, past achievements reached and endeavors taken.
Not to mention this lolworthy carrot on a stick that is Ashbringer and the whole lot of the stupid assfagget shining knight fantasy.
