Retribution Paladin 6.2

No damage increase with empowered seals?  How is that so?  This is a GREAT passive ability that increases your attack power by 15% and has a 100% uptime when in combat...

 

No, quite sure that Empowered Seals still isn't worth going for. Checking with shibbx to make sure anyway, though. Thanks for bringing it up. 

Why is Holy Avenger missing from the cooldown list?  It only shows Avenging Wrath.  Holy Avenger is also a huge dps increase since you can basically spam Templar's Verdict.

That section only lists cooldowns you have by default, and not from talents. Holy Avenger is discussed later down the page.

 

Hey guys. Quick question about glyphs. Glyph of Templar's verdict is mentioned as helpful to your raid group's healers at times. Does this glyph also work with Final Verdict? I can't seem to find any information on the subject. Thanks!

Yes, the glyph does work with Final Verdict as well!

When it comes to EmpS it's less of the talent isn't good and more of how well the other talents synergize with the tier bonuses and with the fights in the tier itself. For example, a large portion of the fights are either

 

A. short, single target fights with windows where ST burst is a heavy factor, which makes Seraphim an ideal talent (e.g. Reaver, Tyrant, Zakuun)

 

B. Fights with large cleave windows (e.g. Xhul'horac, Mannoroth, Hellfire Assault). While EmpS isn't a terrible talent, the other talents of the tier fill the two notable rolls required for the tier in a much better manner.

im kinda new to this game only been playing for a little over a month but i was thinking about the teir with fist of justice. I think in my opinion that Blinding light would be the go to on this teir . if u pick fist of justice ur just replacing the same skill just to increase ur effectiveness by 10 yards. But if u pick blinding light now u have 6 seconds of disorienting ur opponent , and u also have 6 second stun still. 12 seconds of time ur enemy has no control over 10 yard increase to hit for a 6 second stun?.. idk just my thought here always open for other opinions

The problem with blinding light in a pve environment is that 99% of the time you'd only get the use of it via a short .1-.4 second window due to constant damage being applied, which isn't bad it's great in dungeons for kicking a group of mobs, but the reliability of Fist of Justice which isn't just an increase in distance but also has half the cd of Hammer of Justice, is far more noticeable. On top of that in pvp situations, having a 30 second stun goes much further than having a 6 second blind and a 6 second stun both of which are on obnoxiously long cooldowns.

...I am glad this guide is made for more advanced players rather than towards newer players. You would think people who have actually played the game awhile wouldn't need a guide. I guess I am wrong.

This guide is designed for both new and experienced player, I don't see how it's aimed towards "advanced" players at all.

Thanks for the guide! Helped with a few problems I was having since I just recently returned to WoD. Didn't know SW was better than DP. EmpS feels a bit clunky in some situations but this helped me figure out when it's best to really capitalize on it. Thanks!

The part about the level 100 talents needs to be reviewed.  I just ran simcraft with all three talents individually at 732 ilev and the results were 81k for Final Verdict, 85k for Seraphim, and 87k for Empowered Seals.  Please recheck your data as i used your guide's info to incorrectly use Final Verdict for a while now.

I can tell you right now, unless you're running your sim's incorrectly, Sera sims higher with t17 tier bonus on ST and FV sims higher with t17 tier bonus on cleave/multi-target, than EmpS. This has been tested multiple times by multiple top end raiders including myself, Solsacra (the gentleman who actually tells pretty much every ret how to play properly). So unless you're running something different, or have different gear, the sims are correct for the current content, with the "best gear" (I say best, but it's just the varying levels of the bis set including normal and heroic not just mythic.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
