Ret Pally, help for a better DPS

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I'm new here in Icy Forums but always checked the site for information, you guys do an awesome job. I'm dpsing in Legion as a Ret Pally and I'm having a little issues with dps constancy. I can easily do a burst of 300k in one target fight, but when I look overall my dps is always near 190k. I will put some info to see if you guys could help me to see what I'm doing wrong.

Really don't know what I can do to improve it, I had a complete revamp of stats (I was advised to focus Haste till 22% > Crit = Vers > Mastery)
I thank you guys since now.

I THINK ur mastery and critical are very low instead of ur big haste 

u run sharrd and max the haste more so u have atk speed but no dmg , this is the problem
check me http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/twilights-hammer/Illuvagor/simple 
yes I have much better legendary for pve dmg but u have the survivability to make more with your movement speed 
I believe if you sattyr your neck and ur rings and back with critical enchats u will do more dmg than I do at total 
believe me 22% of haste its a lot and enough with 22% haste I can run easily old war and crit food for better dps

Hey saskov I'm not the best ret pally ever but I would like to help you as best I can. I notice that you seem to use JV alot. it really isnt worth it it only deals slightly more than TV and costs 2 HP more personally i use eye for an eye for more survivability. you also seem to cast JV and TV without the bosses having judgement on them this seems to be a big problem for you as on nythendra you cast 16 TV and 6 jV without judgement on her. other than that maybe replace chrono shard with either the horn or FCM because your haste is a little above the recomended.

I hope this helped

Hey bro, thank you for the tips! Will try to assimilate those advices in my rotation, I'm really having a bad time to control the Judgement buff due to long cd of the skill. Do you think putting Weak for Judgment availability? Thank you again!

couple things, 

bary is 100% correct, for raiding it's wise to use JV, not even once. i wouldn't even bother with taking it as a talent. your job as ret is to dps, let the healers do their job and heal you. it's a total waste of holy power. and dont hang on to your wake of ashes! pop it as much as you can!

 

i also noticed you're not gemmed or enchanted. 200 str in your current gloves would go a long way. maybe bump up your crit by a full 1% with cheap ring enchants while you're at it. now for the bigger boosts - i suggest getting mark of the hidden satyr on your neck and using fireball food(i can provide a name for the food later). that should give you an instant 6%(ish) more overall damage

 

if you've got some gold to spare i can help you "reforge" a bit if you want better substats (crit, haste, vers, etc), just let me know

 

as far as your rotation goes, i think you're fine. the only thing i can recommend (because people don't realize it) is to incorporate arcane torrent once or twice when you have some down time if any. for me i pop shield of vengeance when i have it, every little bit counts

justicars vengence if your using that tends to be a dps loss esp on boss fights the big use of that comes from pvp where you can stun your better off with something else like ye for an eye. i also noticed your mastery is pretty low i have mine around 38% at the moment and my haste at 20% also if you can get it you'll defiantly want the faulty counter measure that with crusade works great ive gotten up to a 900k burst on pulls with lust 720k on pulls without over all DPS is usually around 350-390k

Hey guys, read all the messages.  Lamuria, if you mean Blinding LightBlinding Light I try to include in the rotation when I have some time up. Tried Zeal today, but still prefer CS because of the faster cooldown. What you guys think about hat? I'll try to rebalance my stats reforging, never researched about it, thanks for the tips. I'll really try to incorporate those tips this week, I think next week I'll have some results to share with you, thank you again guys, you're awesome.

QUICK EDIT: I was reading about and: wasn't reforge removed in Draenor?

Hey, I simed it, and had a lost of 30k DPS overall. Dropped from 359k to 339k(according to my ilvl stats and scales)

ok so to increase dps on fights like elereth and ilgonoth maybe you should retalent into zeal for the extra cleave but depending on how much gold you have to spend on tomes it may not be worth it unless you have a warlock in your raid to resummon you when you hearth out

Indeed it was removed, but i put quotation marks because you can grab crafted gear with the proper stats and boost them with obliterum. sometimes that can be the best choice. in his case, he has gear thats is less than or equal to the max ilvl of crafted gear. which on turn would give him the proper substats AND more str/stam.

yes that is correct, but if you do run short on gold, just keep zeal. its only a 10k or so difference and really only boils down to your haste whether you'll have downtime with it

right i had a read of this post, and made an account with icy veins just so i could reply. cos i could straight away see why your DPS was low. you pop crusader THEN judge! MASSIVE lose. why? because whilst judgement is up you need to spend holy power and the only way to do that is to use TV! pull on fights should be as follows:

pre-pot>wings>ashes>JUDGE>tv>cs>tv>blade>cs>judge>tv then keep rotating as follows. always make sure you never use ashes if you havent got judge off CD, you have to utilise your holy spenders AFTER you;ve judged. im pretty sure you get 10 sec before it runs out and you have to use it again. if you are popping blood lust, you will probably be able to get another cs>blade>tv rotation is before you are having to do another judge, always always prioritise your holy builders before you judge, its a total waste of dps, and also vice verse. never use holy spenders if you have no judgement buff up on the boss/adds. takes a little practice but once you have it you'll remember it and then you can start mixing in other spells/abilities/pots/cds.

good luck and have fun

PS. also f**k sims off. it makes no difference in you as a player, they take into consideration perfect timing with the best gear. its a load of bollox! go with what feels right to you.

      Since 7.3.5 I have gotten some decent gear and have been using  SimCraft to see what the average difference in the two talents. I simmed them with the Mangaza's Madness belt combined with.  Sephuz and Soul of the High Priest, and with and without 4pc t21 (because some of the gear that breaks tier is 15+ ilvl better).  So far with my 4pc, sephuz, and FotM it simmed *55k higher than Twist of Fate and any combination. I assume the sim procs Sephuz every 30 sec, which is kind of unrealistic, but I was shocked the dps was so much lower using ToF and FotM. 
       
      Any thoughts on the two talents? Does anyone use FotM?  I have started using it and generally average 1.5m dps without BL and north of 2m with. 
       
      Here is my armory link, not sure why it shows my haste much lower than it is in game. In game w/o buffs its 43% ~15,500 or so
      https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/character/magtheridon/anemic 
      *(edit: originally put 500 it wasnt 500k, checked my Sim logs and I was mistaken with my lock sim.  Priest sim was 55k better, sort of negligible but worth debating the talents maybe)

      Hi everyone,
      I, like many others, are trying to maximize DPS for their respective classes, mine in particular being ret paladin.
      In general, it seems like there are several sources of information for dps for each class.
      Icy Veins Mr Robot Raidbots (Simulation Craft) Warcraft Logs Each with its own set of criteria as to what determines high dps. And I find inconsistency when bouncing between the different sources. I want to understand what am I missing when it comes to each. I will lay out what I currently understand, and would like some feedback as to what I may not be considering in each as well as some advice as to what other options I could be exploring (resources) to further the insight into whats applicable for my current state.
      Icy Veins
      For Icy Veins, in particular, the stat weights, are mostly vaguely determined. From the ret guide:
       
      If I am reading this right, its Mastery >= Haste > Ver >= Crit = Str
      Mr Robot
      I use the addOn and I subscribe for the Best In Bags function. When I plug in my information in, the site recommends that I go with my 2pce t20 and balance around my legendaries with a focus on haste pieces (haste gems are emphasized).
      https://www.askmrrobot.com/wow/simulator/report/a42136294c7f40b2b7ee78023306d786
      Stat weights as listed in MrRobot:
      MrRobot Stat Weights
      From what I am seeing, Crit is most emphasized, and the one crit gem + ring crit enchants were originally recommended by MrRobot here. Also another notable thing here is haste being way behind crit's potential.
      RaidBots (Simc)
      For RaidBots, I use the addOn, and play around with various items I hoard, and use the stat weights functions. Generally the feedback I get here are to stick with the current gem setup and with regards to stat weights, emphasize at my current setup with crit. It also says I should drop some of my high ilvl pieces (935 head, and 960 chest) for 4pce (915 head, lfr 890 chest)
      Gear simc:
      https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/d3Qbkf6nqpoP4bxQ9YB2m
      Stat Weights:
      https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/6NkVYwEaTW26FxD4wBwey4
      Vers -> crit -> mastery -> haste -> str
      (versitality first?)
      Warcraft Logs
      I mostly use Warcraft Logs to check what the top dps players (ret pallys) are hitting and what setups are they running. I don't want to specifically link player armories in here, but upon some investigation, you'll find most are just stacking haste
      ---
      I understand stat weights are relative, however it seems like everyone has different priorities, one says mastery, another vers, another crit, another haste?
      Help me understand.
      Thanks,
      Exploit

      Hey, so I could really use some help with this, I'm lost trying to understand the logs and I feel like there's a lot of stuff I could improve on. Any tips or pointers at all would be really appreciated. I hope this log is of a usable kind: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/kLr8fqPD9HcyTxJF

      (Mine is Qraul, the only DH in the group.)
      And really, if anyone would be kind enough to bother, I could really use a "teach a man to fish" scenario here, if you'll pardon the analogy. I've been meaning to learn to interpret and improve from logs but it has seemed like a kind of daunting thing to deal with.

      When I started playing again after several years off, I chose the wrong weapon/artifact chain for my Ret Paladin.  I choose Truthguard instead of Ashbringer.  So I am at 105 with Truthguard now and I was told by Bliz several levels ago that I could swap weapons at some point although I was not told how or when. I don't use Truthguard in play now just a normal weapon and seem to do ok. What must I do?
      From Blizzard -  "I understand you are contacting us about your starting artifact weapon! I know it would be frustrating wanting to use Retribution and the Ashbringer and getting the Truth Guard by mistake. I made this same mistake on my Shaman. I was anxious to get the Doom Hammer and didn’t realize I was required to use the Enhancement spec. I do have some information to share with you.
      The bad news is, once an artifact is selected, there’s no changing that. Luckily, you’re not stuck with this forever. You’ll need to go through some of the story line with the Truth Guard, but once you hit level 102, you’ll be presented with the option to pick up the other 2 artifact weapons. From there you will be able to use any one you’d like. ^_^"

      Hey guys,
      I'm new here in the Icy Veins forums and would like to request your assistance.
      So this is my Mage https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/id/14478881 haven't been playing Legion for a long time (around 2 weeks and a half), been trying to start rading so I would like to improve my DPS, I'm running GS.
      What I would like to ask you guys is if you could check me out and see what I could improve, it's been hard to get some more gear now since it's hard to get into groups, plus my pawn addon seems like its kind of bugged which is kind of confusing me about gear/stats. I know my stat priority for GS Build but nor sure about stat weigths for it.
      Hope you guys can help me, thank you in advance !
