retri rotation help wanted

[Garnock]

read the god damn FAQ
and lol at 2k in azjol..

i did read it and hope to get some more info here.

[Garnock]

It doesnt, you have different priorities depending on your gear (2PT9 bonus for example) and the seal you're using.

If you want to MAXIMIZE your dps, it helps. If you're just terribad like

>Place your face onto your keyboard. Then roll it back and forth. It will be good then.
>...you have an addon for ret-rotation?!
>Hit 1, Hit 2, sometimes hit 2 before 1.

You'll do 3-4k like those clueless *** :-)

thank you :P

Im Playing a Rogue/Dmg Warry and a Ret Pally... and everyone who says Ret is more Faceroll then other PvE DPS Specc should Quit WoW. srsly...

[Soulbender]

Judgement > Crusader Strike > Divine Storm > Consecration > Hammer of Wrath > Exorcism
wait what? thats just wrong..

The exact quote is For those with at least two piece T9 and mostly ilvl245 equipment, the optimal priority order is Judgement > Crusader Strike > Divine Storm > Consecration > Hammer of Wrath > Exorcism

That said, i'd certainly put HW >> all. weird.

edit : and don't forget T10

2 Pieces: Your melee attacks have a 40% chance to reset the cooldown on your Divine Storm ability.
4 Pieces: Your Seals and Judgements deal 10% additional damage.

what is faceroll? :-\


edit: nevermind!

[Oursaviour]

Priority: (highest on top)
HoW
Crusader Strike
Judgement
Divine Storm
concecration
exorcism

General tips
Always attack form behind whenever possible
Never wait to a higher priority to be availble, always hit one ability while the other becomes available
Keep Avenging wrath on cooldown, (but let the tank get aggro first in the start of an encounter)
SoC on trash, SoV on bosses
Fish feast or dragonfin filet
Flask of endless rage
Smart dps > high dps (by that I mean it's much more important to avoid fires, taking aggro and stuff than topping the damage meters)
Get hit capped, expertise cap and then Strength all the way.

elitistjerks has a good guide on this.

FCFS = First Come First Serve. Watch for you CD's. I'm sure that's all your addon is supposed to be doing, helping you watch for your CD's.

[Soulbender]

rather than watching the cds, #1 reason i'd suggest CLCRET is that it helps watching the center of the screen, where the action is, instead of the bottom.

Here's the EJ quote :

If you have 2pc T9 equipped or have above 7000 AP / 45% crit raid buffed, your new clash resolution is: Judgement > HoW > CS > DS > Consecrate > Exorcism > Holy Wrath.

[Narveid]

Only thing I have to add is the hit rating you have. Around 4% too much (seeing as you are a draenei), so if you could exchange some hit for expertise or more dps generally, that will be a slight increase in dps.

[Hellraider]

I don't like to be meanie, but every paladin, i've seen could just hit their head to keyboard and dps would only grow. That's only what i think so continue plz

Download CLCRET

I use it. Lets me keep my eyes on the fires instead of my slew of uneven numbered cooldowns.

or just move the action bars from the left corner to the center of the screen

I use tellmewhen to track my CDs.
It shows the time left on my attacks wherever I want on the screen so I usually put it a bit on the right side of the center of the screen below where I keep my focus frame.

[Critterbot]

This is what I do, HoW>CS>Judgement>DS>Consecration>Exorcism

Note that:

1. With 2pc t9, Judgement always comes bfore CS
2. VS undead or demons, same thing with Consecration and Exorcism

There is an addon called Serious Help In Timing, or SHIT for short :P It's designed to help retadins with their FCFS rotation, it's quite good, use it myself. You can get it at curse.com

Because Ret paladin's PvPing before level 80 is the exact same at ret PvE at 80 in a raid or instance, right?

That video is such a load of crap. He shows you his one button and the macro it casts but yet he doesn't show you all of the other buttons he is hitting while doing those BGs. I wonder how many binds he has hidden. Like the ones for HoJ and Freedom that you can clearly see him cast but aren't on his bar.

Warriors are no more difficult in PvE than Ret paladins. The reason rets want an addon is because all of our abilities have CDs. We don't have to wait for rage generation and just hit any ability we please. We kinda have to wait for it to be available.

To the OP: CLCRet and SHiT, as already mentioned are very helpful. You can even use ForteXorcist to do the same thing with a different display. Once you get a feel for your CDs, these addons lose their value and just tend to get in the way, IMO.

My FAQ was updated a while ago with the T10 rotation if you have the 2pc bonus

[theredviola]

...you have an addon for ret-rotation?!

This is why I hate ret paladins of today. Once I'm done with Icecrown, I'm done with my paladin. So effing tired of these lazy retnubs.

[Copain]

We need someone who can just lock every topic like this and point out the RET PALLY FAQ >_>.
