I will never get that decision.
Your class has a damage mitigation spell. But not the tank spec. No. That would be INSANE (looks at ignore pain)
I'm on an 8game win streak, probably like 16/20 wins at MG2, still no MGE yet.
To be fair, IP is getting kneecapped apparently.
I thought they were just nerfing rage generation, the spell is unchanged ?
Did a bit of work on xmog, not finished yet. I don't know if I want my weapon purple (looks better overall with set) or blue (looks better with shoulder effects)
Halp

Nerfing their rage generation would gimp their damage though.
*sigh*
I'm just going to drop it.
Yeah, if you're into tunneling and using zero parts of the spec's utility, then I guess you could say it was "never" complex up until Cata. You are saying that Ret isn't or has never been complex. That just leads me to believe that you never really played the spec, and you're slapping it based on perceptions given by the usual whiners about how "faceroll" the spec has been, when it's nothing more than a stigma.
Feel free to try and point out why Ret "isn't complex", when it has been for the last 3 expansions (MoP through Legion). I'll show you how you're wrong. (And this specific point can even exclude the utility portion of the spec)
But then again, I don't even know why this argument is a thing. The game isn't difficult by any stretch.
Blood could probably use another tool, but despite Daniel complaining about it, I've seen him tank juuuuuust fine with it.
That's because I'm a god.
Errrhm; I was about to make fun of you but there's a quote that does it for me;
Never incredibly complex doesn't mean faceroll. It means you don't have a huge thought process when choosing what to cast. Same with most melee classes, frost dk, awarr/furywarr, feral druid. I call these classes "Press whatever lights up / isn't on CD". Uh DK and WW Monks (WW more than Uh) have a bit more of a thought process when choosing what to cast, favoring other spells above "what lights up". But the easiest dps will always be Mage and Hunter, as seen here
But you missed the most important point ... Blue or Purple ??
Feeding the theory that being a Top DPS'er is hard is hilarious. Knowing what to pop, when to pop and giving priorities are a thing that a 6 year old can do once he's told what to do. I can place my nephew playing this game, tell him the rotation of a DPS class and he will smash the keys as well as you.
The difference is that I can count by the fingers in my hands the ammount of players that I know that are actually able to sustain their damage and still offer all the utility provided by their class to the raid group. That's what's hard; Not being a random DPS'er.
And stepping out of ****.
Yes, your nephew will follow a rotation properly (except if playing ww/uh, which do not have a rotation) but he probably lacks the awareness to step out of hazards, pop defensives when he's being targeted and switch to adds when necesarry, as well as other mechanics raid-specific.
Decided to go with "different"(recolored blood/frost for now, except UH which is a 0 effort mog I need to redo) mogs for each spec...

Not that hard to do when you play on a private server and your guild consists of two good players and a bunch of ****ty PvPers and trolls.

Since you guys are so big on PvP, I'd love to see any of you go past 2.2k on a ret and say it's not complex. Ret is probably one of the hardest PvP classes to play, you guys are just gonna **** on it because all you see is Lynea popping wings and 1shotting you with Divine Storm.

Blood clearly takes the cake there.
Ever since the earthquake 2 days ago I have felt like I'm perpetually in an earthquake and have balance issues, I get random panic attacks and my head gets dizzy.
Wtf happened
It is technically my main spec :P
Dropped 150k on the tabard last year just for the set.
