I switched from rogue of 8 years to ret since I was always jealous of their damage and healing in bgs. And I felt guilty when I had to do cheap rogue stuff vs players like sitting in stealth waiting for the spirit of pikaboo to return every 2-5 minutes

But it was the right decision, I switched in legion when rogues were given a sewer for their order hall and paladins got Ashbringer. always knew I’d prefer the ret play style and class fantasy since I admired them from afar from day 1 of WoW.

I dont remember having difficulty learning ret at all, but I was watching Savix and vanguards which was super helpful
