To be honest…. i think paladins should get divine storm back with out being on a cooldown with crusader strike. You say want paladins to do more damage. Well this would help there damage and would be nice sence you are have WOG on a 20 sec cd

Just saying… I’m frequently top 5 in Battle grounds for damage and kills, and have seen burst of over 26k DPS in dungeons.

Iskirra – “After 3 weeks of play at lvl 85 and and average GS of 340 i can still only manage 7.9k dps.”

Few things.

First: Max Pali dps still requires two filler spells between Crusader strikes. Based on priority, pick two of the following: Hammer of Wrath, x3_HP TV, Instant-exorcism, Holy Wrath, Judge, OR Consecration in that order.

Second: In most cases it’s an overall DPS increase to refresh Inquisition at 4 seconds or less regardless of how much holy power you have. Otherwise it should always be up during combat. I noticed it helps if I use my Divine Purpose proc to cast a 30 second Inquisition for longer fights and just a 1-2 holy power Inq. for short fights. Use your best judgement.

Finally: Unless you’re popping Zeoltry and Avenging wrath together every 2 min in a dungeon, you WONT break 7k. That’s just not gonna happen very often. In a 30 min dungeon you can cast those 15 times. My guess is you didn’t pop CDs +15 times if you cant break 7k dps. And make sure to pop Guardian on boss fights when you have enough time to DPS them.

Slim – “I was curious about getting people’s thoughts on some tried and true keybindings for a ret pally. ”
Dear Slim, it just so happens I solved your problem less than a week ago myself. Macro this:

#Showtooltip Zealotry
/castsequence reset=combat/target Zealotry, Avenging Wrath, Inquisition, Templar’s Verdict

and bind it to your [Mouse-wheel]. Make sure to pop your Guardian as well when you really want to wallop on someone/something. A 5 min CD isn’t something you want in your cast sequence tho. Make it separate. My personal guardian is on [Shift+Mouse-wheel] so if I really wanna roll face I just have to tap the shift while I’m rolling… yaddamean? If you use Bartender4 it’s quite a simple matter to keybind. If you don’t use Bartender4 download it from Curse.com that will help you organize your bars.
If you want to then keep track of your CDs without actually having the buttons visible on your bars, download ForteXorcist from Curse.com. That add-on provides visual timers so you know when your CDs are up and ready. I’ve removed the CDs off my bars entirely and its reliable.

If your getting rid of word of glory make it easier to gain holy power then. I find ret palys on the lower end of the dps meter. I felt word of glory evened that out. Also changeing that effects the pvp play. Thats what word of glory is for. You have you dk’s with blood tap. So if your going to give word of glory a cooldown might as well increase the amount of healing it does. Either then that does it effect holy as well.

I have recently returned to my Ret Pally after a layoff of several months and am really struggling to get my head round the new rotation. Not only am I have trouble how to follow the rotation but how to set upi my keybinds. For some reason my mind has blocked this problem. After 3 weeks of play at lvl 85 and and average GS of 340 i can still only manage 7.9k dps. the rotation that applies to me is

?Inq > CS> TV> Exo> HW > Judge > HW > Cons
With 3 Holy Power

?Inquisition > TV

I have to start the rotation somehow and atm am using Judge as an opener – and tbh after that trying to watch for 3 HP and then decide to use TV or Inq is a trifle confusing.

Any helpful suggestions welcome Thanks in advance

I’m only able to read this post and not the real patch realm notes cause the server is to busy,, but anyway

I can see how this can be sort of a good thing for Ret Palla,, who PVE,, for PVP on the other hand this just suck imo,, i mean a 20 sec cd on WoG and 3% less mana costs on FoL and Dl,, thats not really balanced if you ask me,, also the Ds ability i personally dont even have in PVP cause imo its useless there,,

Concidering i only PVP,, this new changes imo (so far ive read em here) just suck… WoG was my main thing to stay alive if i was fighting a warr or rogue,, the last patch was just perfect imo,,, sad to see they made this changes,, i hope it will become a bit more like it is now in future patches..

at first i was like ” OMG WTF NOOOOOOO WHY”
but actually, it’s not that bad at all, though i find it concerning that rogues are getting a heal buff, which will probably make them way harder to kill :/
