So...Ret AoE in MoP is...?

[Ryuji]

Hammer of the Righteous Spam then use Divine Storm to empty Holy Power, repeat? In addition to stuff like Holy Wrath and Consecration still? Not sure if I like it if that's the case. Then again, it's VERY EARLY...so...there's that.

What do you guys think? Also, my apologies if this has been asked before. Didn't find a thread about it...unless I'm blind or something.

[Deadheadfred]

holy wrath can only be used by holy pallies, and consecration is prot only. so for ret, its basically spamming hammer of the righteous, divine storm, repeat

[Ryuji]

Hmm...must not have seen that. If that's the case though, that doesn't sound very fun. I'll have to wait and see I guess.

[Ghobe]

Don't forget your level 90 talent.

[Tangra]

Inquisition, Hammer of the Righteous, Divine Storm, various cooldowns such as Avenging Wrath if killing the adds is really that important, also, depending on final numbers Holy Prism and definitely Light's Hammer could be in the AoE rotation.

[Ryuji]

Also true. I've been slightly out of touch with WoW...I'ma go back and re-read the talents/skills now. >_>

The question becomes, will Ret still have to wait for at least 4 targets to make our AoE viable. That has been one of my biggest issues with the class, in that you are pretty much screwed if there are only 3 targets to start with, but also what if you didn't catch an add dying, dropping the mob count to sub 4 and you just wasted an attack not generating a HP.

Seal of Righteousness, Inquisition, Hammer of the Righteous, fillers, Divine Storm..

Holy Wrath and Consecration have both become Prot exclusive abilities.

[Inukashi]

HotR + DS is one button more than most other classes have

swipe swipe swipe
Blizzard
rain of fire
and so on..

[Viradiance]

To be fair, my Fan of Knives is jealous of your two buttons for AOE.

I'm guessing people forgot about the big, kickass hammers of light that give us either a consecrate-style (Light's Hammer) effect or slowly build up to a burst of damage (Execution Sentence)?

This is it 100%. I think it's better than what we have now, we might be awesome in AoE!

i think it'll be like 6 targets. 4 imo was ok but 6 is stupid.

Well ... DS is holy damage now. That has to count for something. *cough*
