Ill admit it right now..im not reallly well geared. On live as it is with might buff and vengeance with t9 I do about 5k dps on the dumby. However, I just downloaded and started the PTR today. I took my pally to the SW dumbies and tried out the ret spec 2/2/34 or something like that. I have lost about 1.5k dps from that and that includes popping wings and zealot.
Maybe my rotation is wrong and if so then rets will be one hell of a class to master dps wise now..no joke. I usually would CS and HW and judge to get my 3 stacks of holy power then I would hit a TV. I would pop wings and hit the hammer anytime it would come up..and i would also hit exorcism anytime it would light up but mainly only used my holy power stacks for TV or the occasional word of glory heal on a teammate in my group to get that 12% bonus dmg. Even with that proc, i only was looking at 4k dps.
Why in the world do Ret's "get fixed" but yet lose so much dps?
