Honest opinion of Rets performance

[magnetaur]

Just a brief question to hopefully a ret paladin of paragon, but, how is your performance in a raid (damage output)?

I find mine to be lacking, and there seems to be many (unanswered) complaints on the official forums, i just wanted the opinion of a world class Ret as your opinion would be very informed.

I just feel like all my countless hours spent currently on ret are pointless, im hoping im doing something wrong and that i can output more damage by changing something.

(sorry if i made any mistakes, im in a rush, it's christmas morning (1am) and i need to rush to sleep so i can actually wake up for my family)

Damage output for single target is ok I guess but nothing top material. AOE damage is probably the worst in the game. Only good thing about keeping ret in raid atm is the 3% all damage aura, which is overall a big dps increase to have in raid even if one player does 1-2k less dps and ret is atm the best choice for the aura (arcane mage and bm hunter sucks).

You can also use ret for interrupting tasks which are fairly common now since we don't lose basically anything if we have to interrupt unlike rogues, warriors aren't the best interrupters either imo even though they get the damage buff at least for the whole fight since they have to save some rage if they want to have 100% certain interrupt, they can just snatch one interrupt every now and then from ret's interrupt cycle for the damage buff.

So yeah, I'm also hoping for little damage buff for ret and maybe changing the system to have it more CS TV oriented rather than slamming your procs which are going off randomly.
