What's the problem with Ret, precisely? I prefer the new rotation myself, but I couldn't comment on the numbers... Is it a numbers thing? Which would be tweaked if it's really an issue.
I don't think the developers knew what they wanted when it came to Paladin class fantasy from a Retribution perspective. The end result is a class without direction with changes for the sake of change. The talent tree is awful, the supporting role is hamfisted, the mastery is terrible and movement outside of Steed is nearly zero. I don't mind that it isn't whack-a-mole but it also feels as though the pendulum swung too far in the opposite direction which only makes the terrible talent tree even worse.
That's just my opinion though but I know many feel the same way. I was so certain that it would be my main for a very long time and then I tried it out in beta and immediately began looking for a new main. I just couldn't believe how much effort they put in to making Ret as awful as it is.
I settled on Enhancement not long after because it's the exact opposite of why I hate the new Ret.
God damn Ashbringer tax.
