This is her armory:
And here some logs:
Thank you for your advice.
1. gems are WAY off, should not have pure str gems at all, here is the gems she should be using:Meta - Reverberating Primal Diamond
Prismatic - Quick Sun's Radiance
Blue - Lightning Wild Jade or Accurate Imperial Amethyst
Red - Fierce Vermilion Onyx
Yellow - Quick Sun's Radiance
2. enchants look good
3. reforges are off, 1257 expertise rating over the cap- should use WoWreforge - dont use their Stats weights - wowreforge.com
- here are the Stats weights i use from a simcraft of my pally, they should be around the same for her (if you want you can run the sim for Castellferro but it should come out to be about the same, **if you run your own Sim, only do so after making all the changes including reforging one time with the below weights to not throw off the Sim**)
Hit - 3.94
Str - 3.37
exp - 2.74
Haste - 1.97
Crit - 1.34
Mastery - 1.27
- when reforging select hit and exp to "as least" and change all the stat weights to above (or her personal weights from SimCraft) when you hit optimize use the 1st option, it will give you the most DPS.
4. Spec should be changed up a bit too.- Sacred Shield is a dps decrease (especially if you are trying to keep it up full time) and should be changed out for Selfless healer
* only use Selfless healer when you have 3 stacks and are low on health
- Unbreakable Spirit is a HUGE dps decrease and should be switched out for Hand of Purity or Clemency
* with the buff to Hand of Purity i tend to use it for most fights
* Clemency is a great choice as it will allow you to one tank some fights with the 2 Bobs and HoS
- Holy Avenger is a single target DPS decrease and should only be used in high AOE fights where adds stay alive for most of the duration and can be used on more then one wave of adds (like Tortos bats)
* Sanctified Wrath is the talent that will provide the most single target DPS in addition it also gives you a little more flexibility as it can be used at range (great for Durumu the Forgotten maze phase)
5. if you want to max your dps you should drop JC (the weakest profession) and pick up Engineering ASAP!- line up Synapse Springs with every Execution Sentence (both have a 1min cd) and just laugh at the dmg it does!
6. Glyphs should be changed up a bit too- Double Jeopardy is a must and should be used whenever possible here is a helpful macro:
#showtooltip judgment
/cast [target=focus,mod:shift,nodead,exists,harm][target=mouseover,mod:shift,nodead,exists,harm][nomod] judgment
that macro will cast judgment on your target, if SHIFT is held down then it will cast on your focus if it can, if SHIFT is held down and it cant cast on your focus it will cast on your mouseover target!
- i would keep glyph of templars verdict and replace either glyph of AW or Glyph of DS to get Glyph of double Jeopardy
- Glyph of Mass Exorcism is good for AOE
- Glyph of Harsh Words is good for range heavy hights
7. if you can get the Prismatic gem slot from 5.1 legendary quest (works on all weapons)
8. get Fabled Feather of Ji-Kun ASAP (huge dps increase)
9. i did not go over her rotation from WoL, if you think there is something off there then just look around on this forum and you should be able to find some good rotationsAnaxie's Totally Magnificent ToT Retribution T15 BiS & Theorycraft
[MoP] Ret Paladin guide!
Hope this helps out =p
