What are the usual pvp glyphs for a ret paladin?
What are the usual pvp glyphs for a ret paladin?
As a guess, Glyph of Judgement, Glyph of Seal of Righteousness and Glyph of Salvation.
Depends. Usually you will have Judgement and SoR, unless you are a BG hero and use SoC, in which case you'd use SoC glyph.
So wait, im sorry. Ive been out of the pvp loop for a long time. SoR is now the arena seal to use?
Yes. It has the best burst and the least CC-breaking ability of it's counterparts (SoC and SoCorr).Originally Posted by Ryoten
This. You could switch out Salv for Exo, but it's not advised as we're pretty easily blown up after bubble in on CD. Even if you want to be a "BG hero" as Ronark put it you would still use the same glyphs with SoC as you shouldn't be having mana issues in PvP in general unless you fight like an entire team of mages and disc priests.Originally Posted by Cardolan

Why would you glyph for SoR if your not using it ??? ??? ???Originally Posted by Judicium
Look up, see the buzzards circling?
Good catch. If you wanted to use SoC you would use Judgement, Salv, Exo. Thanks again for catching that.Originally Posted by Serryn

Arena: Gylph of Judg, Sor and Salv. In case you play a comp where you are rarely focused or you just cant seem to die for some reason or you dont have 2nd dispeller ( priest, holadin,), switching salv for instant fear ( turn evil) would be a good idea because of the ret vulnerability to lock's cc ( when playing ret hunt resto druid i prefer using turn evil gylph just for that reason).
Also would be best if you use glyph of sense undead and might as minor glyphs, you never know when a chance might turn up to rebuff after being dispelled and greater bom costs more mana then normal one. As for glyph of sense undead, its doesnt really do a lot, but can sometimes help against dk's and in arena every % of hp can matter.
BG's:
Sor would still be my choice here, you should go with either sor glyph or soc one, depends what you are using, salv instead of turn evil ( if you are using it ) and use LoH for 3'rd minor glyph
Does this mean for Arena builds, you want to sink 5 points into seals of the pure? And if so, whats does the typical arena pvp build look like?
depend on the team composition, just like the glyph choiceOriginally Posted by Ryoten

you can move 1 point from imp. RF to Disac
for my double dps 2v2 rogue/ret (that dont work a bit since we get owned hard by frost mage.. i hate them /cry)
or
BGing
As nien put it it all depends on your team comp. If you are playing a cleave team then you don't want to sink 5 points into sotp, instead put some extra points into prot for divine guardian & improved righteous fury for the extra mitigation. On a cleave team you will also use the glyphs of seal of command, judgment and salvation as well.
If your not playing on a cleave team you will want to use 5 points in seals of the pure though and change the glyph of seal of command for the glyph seal of righteousness. This will give you higher single target burst and be better if your team uses allot of cc because you wont be accidentally breaking it as easy.
Or there is the option of going protribution, this is a spec that uses the majority of its points in prot & uses ret gear. This type of spec tends to have almost the same lvl of burst but it has allot better offensive utility for fighting casters and can withstand insane amounts of damage due to all the damage reduction in the prot tree that will stack with resilience. The only down side to protribution is it lacks allot of the self healing ability that ret has and can run oom if you do not play it well, if done right however you will tear shit up.
The way balancing for WOW PVP works is allot like American politics.
1: Be lazy & ignore problems till the yelling is so loud your cant concentrate.
2: Refuse to do the things you have Said need to be done, then make up reasons why they cannot be done.
3: Lay the blame for problems on someone else even when it's your fault because you did all of the above.
