Quote:I'm not too worried. They haven't screwed over ret yet, despite all of the whining and crying every time they made a major change in preparation and after wrath of the lich king, and they have stated they don't intend to, even providing an answer to how they might tweak ret to make sure they can still kick ass if their mana is running dry too fast in 3.1.
I haven't noticed an analysis yet, but assuming mana isn't a limitation, will exorcism become part of the standard ret rotation?
It generally won't for prot, on progression bosses at least, except when off-tanking, but some analysis shows that punching exorcism every cooldown is a massive threat increase for prot, despite it meaning a reduction in holy shield uptime, so I imagine we'll have a fun toy to mix in on farm encounters or when off-tanking.
Yes, Exorcism gets smashed every 15 seconds for ret. Numbers on the ptr pre-mana smash had it as a worthwhile addition. the 15 second cooldown makes it a little easier to fit into the ret priority list. I have seen it as
{H0W} - judge - strike - ex - storm - cons
on a single target non-undead priority deal. I'm going to try and make use of it, as best I can. I wish I would have been able to copy to the ptr pre-SA removal so I could get a feel for how it works with it and without it.
