My current PvE ret build w/glyphs is:
5/11/55
This spec looks like it covers everything I need and still offers a partial Demo Shout debuff. I raid with a feral druid and 3 warriors so this isn't a huge deal. Having DSac was critical even if its only the 30% version and not 40%.
Prior to 3.2, I had 25 Expertise. With the release of the patch and my opinion that Glyph of Consecration lost some of its value, I went with Glyph of Seal of Vengeance. This allowed me to change out of few pieces of gear and gems. In all with the glyph, gear, and replacement of Expertise gems and the addition of epic gems, I gained 270AP, .15% crit, and 62 haste yesterday. With no Expertise gems, I now have 27 Expertise with SoV active.
Since I didn't play at all on the PTR, I found that SoV is some very monstrous DPS. We did the new 25man Crusade boss last night. While it only took 2 attempts to kill him, I learned a couple of things.
- The third phase of the first boss encounter in there is abysmal for ret paladins. I lost my stack every time the boss charged a target.
- Seal of Vengeance/Corruption does a hella lot of damage when you can keep the stack up there. My Recount was not working last night, but I saw several attacks last night over 11.5K that I believe were judgments.
I like to see if anyone has an issue with this spec in what they think I am missing. No need to say Seal of Command. If you do, you only prove that you haven't used the different seals yet.
