But this seems nowhere relevant enough to open a thread and be upset about it. Also, they might simply not be aware that BoK and BoW isn't worth it. They come into the group, thinking about who the most important roles are and instinctively hand the corresponding buffs to the tank and the healer.
    I dare say that it's worth opening a thread about it purely for the sake of letting more people know what you should bless. Just go through the posts here and you'll find people who didn't know how the blessing system worked fully until reading this one, so I dare say this thread has already done a good job helping out. Plus I can always hope it'll help me (and others) in the future to see more Retribution paladins buff right and not have me/them explain all of this over and over and over again.

    it's a goddamn performance issue.
    You either do good, or you don't.
    Best performance is achieved with 3x GBoM.

    I do unless the healer specifically requests wisdom, triple might is kind of standard practice for most rets though.

    Yup. Just because you're Retribution, you don't get a "free pass" to perform even worse when you're already a crippled dps spec. Do your best despite your position - 3x Might.

    That's what gbok and gbow are.
    They don't require any work mid combat so it isn't the same thing.

    Do you mean several rets buffing the same DPS? Yes the can and the different might buffs can proc of other mights proccs.

    They do if you have several Retribution paladins casting the same greater blessing on the same person. But one paladin can't bless the same person with more than one of the same blessing, no.

    Edit: Too late, darn it! Though didn't know procs could proc upon procs. That's nice!

    Or noticing that I've got my Might on them and they only use kings and wisdom on themselves... thus leaving one blessing unused. . . ("Don't worry, I've done all mythics." they say.)

    I've end up in several dungeons with another Retribution paladin and no matter how much I try to explain that a 40K absorb every 6 seconds and a 1% Health/Mana regen every 15 seconds are just not worth it, it's -impossible- to convince them. Unless Blizzard buffs those two Greater Blessings, please, don't be a burden on the rest of the dungeon group. ;_:

    Thank you~

    Oh, I buy that.

    For the enemies we're facing since we'll just cripple ourselves with the other two blessings when Might is an option...!

    Analogies are hard I know, but please keep it up at least somewhat.

    you could start using your brain to begin with.
    That way you'd have a clue about the topic.

    You know, I'd be pretty interested to see people defending the idea of not using 3x Might in dungeons in a more constructive manner than just spouting out (Not all of you, but a lot) "I'm a selfish/lazy person who do not care about doing the best for the group despite that it requires 'no' extra input.", and try bring up some of the facts how GBoK and GBoW are better in dungeons when there are definitely 3 dps you can bless with Might.

    I once told a Ret paladin to use Mightx3 and he casted it on me three times and that was it.

    Man, and I thought the Ret Paladins I encountered were random cases of noobs. Looks like this issue is much more widespread than I thought.
