Retribution Paladin DPS Sepulcher of the First Ones Raid Guide — Dragonflight 10.2.5

On this page, you will find Retribution-Paladin-specific information to deal with each boss in the Sepulcher of the First Ones raid.

This page assumes that you already understand most of the mechanics of each encounter. These can be found on the full raid guide, so what is contained here are details specifically tailored toward Retribution Paladins and what you can do to deal with each fight as best as possible.

During the Dragonflight Pre-Patch, Castle Nathria, Sanctum of Domination, and Sepulcher of the First Ones will be simultaneously featured as Fated Raids. During this time encounters within each specific raid will include an additional mechanic and items will drop at increased item levels. If you would like to learn more general information about the Fated Raids system as a whole, please see our overview below. Otherwise, continue to use this page for specialization-specific tips.

Mythic only: If you are assigned to go to a more than a single outer platform, you should keep your Divine Shield and Shield of Vengeance for the second time you go there, because the ticking damage ramps up over multiple platforms and does not decay.

Right before this Divine Shield on the second platform, you also can use Blessing of Sacrifice on one of your platform members who also went up to a previous platform to reduce the incoming damage as much as possible. Keep your Lay on Hands ready for this platform, in case someone's Health drops critically low.
