Retribution Paladin DPS Crucible of Storms Raid Guide — Dragonflight 10.2.5
On this page, you will find tips, tricks, and strategies tailored to your Retribution Paladin for each boss of the following raid: Crucible of Storms. All our content is updated for World of Warcraft — Dragonflight 10.2.5.
Disclaimer
This page will focus primarily on how a Retribution Paladin can optimize its performance on the raid bosses in Crucible of Storms, and not on an actual raid strategy for the bosses.
Retribution Paladin in Crucible of Storms
Both of the encounters favor ranged, multi-DoT specs, but compared to other melee specs, Retribution will do comparably well.
Right after the first Light's Decree Azerite trait, you want to have a single Empyrean Power Azerite trait for the Crucible of Storms encounters. The first Empyrean Power trait gives you the most additional free cleave damage, while also providing viable single-target damage.
Due to the raid hostility mechanics of the Crucible of Storm encounters, Divine Storm and Wake of Ashes should be used with care.
