Dragonflight 10.2.7 Retribution Paladin Guide - The Reckoning

welcome everyone to the dragonflight 10.3 retribution paling guide my name is Gore and this guide will teach you everything you need to know going into season 4 of Mythic plus and the awakened raids going into 10.3 our Baseline spec hasn't received much changes and thus our core model and talents remain the same the retribution powen is a DPS spec with a Gainer spender model with the primary resource being holy power we gain holy power through our core resource generation abilities and spend it to do single Target damage AOE damage or healing our core resource generation abilities are crusador strike blade of Justice judgment and Hammer of Wrath you will additionally always Talent into wake of ashes and divine toll which are longer Talent cool Downs that also provide holy power our core abilities all gain one one or two holy power dependent on talents while wake always gives three and divine in toll varies with the number of targets and talents our core Spenders are final verdict for single Target Divine storm for AOE and word of Glory for healing technically you can equip a shield and use Shield of the righteous but no one does that final verdict in Divine storm costs three or four holy power dependent on talents while word of Glory will always cost three our major damage cooldowns include avenging WFT or Crusade which is a one minute versus two-minute cooldown of our iconic Wings ability for single Target execution sentence is a 30-second cool down that repeats a portion of our damage for AOE final Reckoning is a one minute cool down that increases spender damage by 30% and also has a large damage component we have two core passives first Mastery hand of Light which increases our holy damage by 1% for every 1% of Mastery since almost every ability we have does holy damage and consistently every patch 90% or more of our total damage is Holy it is simplest to think that every 1% of Mastery increases our damage by almost 1% our other passive is instruments of Retribution which gives us avenging raft for 9 seconds when a party or Raid member dies retribution utility is considered the best in the game for a DPS spec we provide literally a bit of everything you want for all content we have raid Buffs in devotion Aura and retribution Aura we have poison and disease the spell which is looking very important for 10.2 M plus a 15-second kick an AOE disorient SL interrupt a 6sec single Target stun a movement impairment immunity a 30% damage reduction we can give others and a good bit of passive healing a physical IM immunity that can be given out and an instant full health heal that can also be given out we also have a taunt and single Target heals that are quite literally stronger than a healers such as word of Glory retribution powen is the tankiest nontank spec in the game by Miles through our various passives that give us more HP than most specs and reduce all incoming damage by a large percentage self heals Auto heals multiple immunities and and multiple short CD defensives we are unrivaled in this department like honestly it it just isn't even close retribution is the hero class as our allies fall around us you alone are sometimes able to go the final distance and secure the win retribution Palin always struggles with Mobility we have two main options theine seed is our primary movement ability which lasts 4 seconds you can Talent into it multiple times to make it last two additional seconds and also have two charges instead of one Additionally you can Talon into Unbound freedom to gain 8 Seconds of a 30% movement buff for R Paladin we only really have two Talent builds but I like to say we have three we have our single Target build which can be seen here on screen this build focuses on dealing large single Target damage every 1 minute with slightly smaller bursts every 30 seconds this build is great for raiding and is your default in Universal raiding build if you aren't sure what build to run for a raid fight you usually can't go wrong with this one rip pen currently has one of the highest single Target damage in the game with this build this tree's main issue is that it has essentially no capacity to deal damage to more than one target the second build you want is your M plus build this build on screen is my personal Universal M plus build I run this build in almost every dungeon and for almost every AIC you'll occasionally swap around a few talents in the class tree such as Unbound freedom and turn evil for the respective AIC weeks but the class tree remains generally untouched you can potentially move a point from searing light to Divine Arbiter for tyrannical weeks but I found that this usually isn't worth doing and instead you can gain more single Target damage from other sources such as trinkets this build focuses on maximizing your ability to AOE as well as clean without giving up all of your single Target putting points into bless Champion blade of Vengeance Tempest of a lightbringer final Reckoning and Searing light pretty much carry all of your AOE damage unfortunately for R although not as big as it was in previous Seasons you still lose a good chunk of single Target damage to gain your basic AOE kit however because red single Target damage is much higher than other classes right now this loss is acceptable and re continues to be one of the top five D DPS specs right now for M plus arguably top three the third build you want is my hybrid build while not a re real build but rather a mish mash of three to four slightly different builds this is my attempt to maintain the very high single Target of the first build while having some cleave this build has a few points of flexibility and it's focused on gaining DPS in situations of two Targets the flexibility part allows you to gain DPS of up to five targets while funneling SL prying into one target all versions of this hybrid build come with drawbacks and will not be the best at anything as it is sacrificing both single Target and AOE components to essentially create what I like to call a Frankenstein build I would suggest staying away from this build until you have mastered the basics of Rett the other two builds and have a strong understanding of the talents as well as the pros and cons of the options and choices within such Frankenstein builds our 10.2 tier set increases the duration of expiration by about 40% and its damage by about 30% when expiration is on a Target you cast judgment on which is by the way a 100% up time on expiration judgment essentially does a bonus 100% damage Additionally you can hit up to four additional targets for another 200% worth of judgments damage the foret makes it so that when we deal this bonus damage our next spender Echoes to deal another 25% bonus damage Echoes can trigger some effects for instance if you use Divine storm with an echo proc and you have Tempest of The lightbringer Talented you will send out four Divine storms smiley face our 10.3 damage rotation is essentially identical to our 10.2 damage rotation the only difference is in the opener where you send your legendary axe as the the second or third gcd on the screen is everything you need to know about your single Target opener as well as your single Target and AOE priority lists I've also included a bunch of helpful tips and tricks and notes on the legendary skillfully weaving in Echo procs without redundancy while not overcapping holy power has somewhat increased the skill caling of ret and this will lead to wider spread of R damage for those that can consistently do this well versus those that cannot especially during Divine toll Windows having weak oras such as those in my custom weak AA package that can track your holy power as well as CSAA and divine toll automatic holy power gains can significantly help your holy power management our stat scaling has remained the same however because we are now deep into the expansion and eye level is going up dramatically 39 n levels to be exact you will be hitting real levels of substat scaling penalties that will play into your stat priority decisions later into the tier on the screen you can find how much stat is needed for red Paladin's various stats as well as the universal substat scaling penalties note that these percentages for the penalties are rough estimations and the actual penalties start on specific numbers not percentages however this information is known to be accurate and is a good guideline as for our stat priorities we now prioritize haste and versatility the most followed by crit with Mastery being the least important please note that stat priorities are just a guideline and your character may need different stats or even contradict this list entirely please Sim yourself going into 10.3 enchants and consumables are almost identical to 10.2 and can be seen on screen the only changes is you will prefer T adverse vile over corrupting rage due to keeping uptime on blue silk embellishment and you will prioritize double substat food over main stat food as for embellishments you will use double blue silk as the scaling on this embellishment has gone crazy and gives over a th000 Mastery per this will get you almost 2100 Mastery with pretty high up time now for gearing gearing in 10.3 is extremely easy you have a nice rotation between Catalyst charges crafted gear booleans and your weekly vault every week of 10.3 you get a new Catalyst charge to turn non Tier gear into tier or occasionally certain pieces into different stats every other week you get a crafted piece of gear starting week one this means weeks 1 3 5 Etc you can make another crafted piece every week you get one Boolean from defeating bosses in the awakened rates every piece of gear costs two bullion so you get one piece every two weeks starting weeks 2 4 6 Etc and every week you will get your weekly Vault with booleans every single piece of gear and game is essentially set between tier crafted and now booleans now let's talk booleans quickly your first Boolean buy will be scale of Awakening to get your 535 Lego your Lego buy is your single biggest increase it's somewhere around 35 to 40,000 DPS you will definitely want to get this first now after that you can either Target your quote unquote very rare rare Rings seen on screen or go for your trinkets your best single Target trinket by miles is the Anvil your best AOE trinket is Boon your best non-roll AOE trinket is ashes eventually you might want to get all six trinkets L listed on screen including the tainted rage heart if you are a high M plus enjoyer like myself after Trinkets and Rings you can also Target the sarc CL the sarc cape and also the neck however I think these are not as important since the neck has a few similar options as seen on screen and the cape sacrifices a lot of stamina for not a massive DPS game for strengths retribution PN has great AOE damage and some of the best tankiness and varied utility including a raid buff of all DPS specs like dvo Aura retribution Aura has become a required raid buff and thus means at least two palins will likely be in a raid group this increases the chances that retribution will see play time and progression along with their fantastic utility and defensive kits ultimately damage tuning always changes and specs are considered firstly on their utilities defensiveness and raid Buffs and secondarily on their damage I suspect that retribution pin will be a prime pick for both raid and M plus due to their damage profile utility and defensiveness in conclusion retribution PN is shaping up to be a prime pick for all PVE content and I can happily say that I can highly suggest playing this spec as either a main or an ALT to pick up and learn the spec is rather intuitive to play the flow feels good and does not take a lot of time to understand the basics being the only damage spec for the Paladin class blizzard has openly stated that they will make an effort to make retribution Palin always viable all the resources you saw in this video will be available in my Discord which is linked below
