[Discussion]Solution to retribution mana problem with added dps boost.

You're wrong. This is a great PvE ability. Especially for ret paladin raiders. The seal does about equal damage to SoC, but the judgment does more damage. Plus, you lose hp using this which is GOOD because paladins will gain mana back through the heals they recieve. Just toss a lifebloom on ret pallies when they get a little low and they'll get some mana back - icing on the cake.

I believe this is an awesome way for regen + DPS!

And please don't call me out if I'm wrong and call me rude and ridiculous names, it's stupid, just make constructitive critism to HELP solve the problem, not create another one.

I'm posting this information as just to inform you all of this.




As you can clearly see SoB is doing more DPS overall.

Goning off topic I see, what if I was?

-Switching to Seal of Blood (Marytr) is a perfectly viable way to boost mana regen.
-SoB/SoM procs on every swing, for more consistent damage than SoC.
-SoB/SoM does slightly more dps than SoC.

Relying on Spiritual Attunement pushes our mana problems onto the healers, just like Lifetap does for warlocks. Healers won't mind.

Unfortunately, this solve our weakness to mana burn. Imagine a boss like Kaz'rogal who burns 600 mana per second for 5 seconds. Or a priest landing a mana burn for 1k mana. Spiritual Attunement, even when combined with Blessing of Wisdom, 15% JotW, and Judgment of Wisdom, won't be enough to sustain a decent rotation while being burned.

This is true but that is one fight/pvp occurance of many. And in LK I doubt to see more than a max of 3 Retadins per raid.

Wait wait wait,,

Weren't we all was doing this?

BTW

Ret doesnt Go OOM in PvE unless they start tossing heals.

Problem now is the effect of mana burners in PvP.
