Ret Pve Tips/Guide

[Smiter]

First off to prove that I know what I am talking about and that these ways work:

http://realmplayers.com/RaidStats/Playe ... yer=Smiter

http://realmplayers.com/RaidStats/RaidO ... Raid=30279
(MC)

http://realmplayers.com/RaidStats/RaidO ... Raid=30009
(BWL)

Key:
-SotC= Seal of the Crusader
-SoC= Seal of Command
-Conse= Consecration

Rotation:

2 choices for rotation:
-SotC rotation:Judge SotC> SotC (up at all times)>Spam max rank conse (only maintainable by Flask of Distilled Wisdom which you should be using with this rotation and can be used with any weapon speed but faster is better)

-SoC rotation: Judge SotC> R1 SoC (up at all times)> Max rank conse if vengence is up, if it is not then R1 (Supreme Power flask should be used with this rotation and only if you have a good 3.5 speed or slower weapon)

Consumables:

-Flask of Distilled Wisdom or Flask of Supreme Power
-Major Mana Potion
-Demonic/Dark Rune
-Elixir of the Mongoose
-Juju Might
-Juju Power
-Firewater
-Elemental Sharpening Stones
-Smoked Desert Dumplings
-R.O.I.D.S.

Tips:
-Get Songflower Buff from Felwood, +15 to all stats and 5% melee/spell crit for 1 hour. Cleanse a corrupted songflower or pick a cleansed one for the buff.
-Try and leech a ZG Heart buff and Ony/Nef head buff whenever possible.
-Get Dire Maul buffs (200 attack power, 15% stam, and 3% spell crit) Requires you to get a cleared Tribute run and you talk to the 3 guards after you have the king buff.

-If 2 rets are in raid then stack R6 and R5 Judgement of the Crusader if allowed. If not allowed then one judge R6 SotC and other judge max rank Seal of Wisdom

This is how Smiter makes Daddy Ret feel:

if you are using R1 SoCom or Consec you are skimping on mana consumables you should always use max rank,

also you only listed roids, not including scorpok salt, any raiding ret should have both as they are unique.

You should never use flask of distilled wisdom over supreme power, that is nerfing your dps output.

Also a ret should use of oil of immolation on relevant fights

=======================================================================================
And assessing your DPS in BWL; actually relevant content:

#13 Smiter 423384(196/s) 3.5%

Out of the raiding retribution paladins you come in 6th under Optilasgar, with the leading dps figures being 50% higher then your average

#1 Holystrike 299.8/s
#2 Dovane 242.6/s
#3 Miamie 236.4/s
#4 Krumbull 207.1/s
#5 Optilasgar 202.9/s
#6 Fluffydrake 193.4/s
#7 Tervel 177.7/s
#8 Morgrainne 134.0/s

You shouldnt try to boost your dps in irrelevant content through flasking where noone else is, I mean we dont even world buff for mc since we run it back on back with BWL, a comparison shows that there is only a 30 dps difference between you flasked and others unflasked.

your guide is lacking crucial elements and is recommending new rets skip on their consumables.

^ this.

problem there Holystrike is that he don't have Intellect in his gear , so his mana can't be sustainable to follow the way you do .

That's what drearyyew always oppose me and calling me troll for saying that.

p.s i am working on my ret gear too , once i get it , i will post the actual dps .

[Holystrike]

Thats because hes built his gear incorrectly and has focused purely on physical stats the minimum requirement is a 3500 mana pool unbuffed, to raid as ret and even still id preffer to have closer to 3800...
anything lower and you are gimping your dps output.

He also lacks the minimum 8% hit requirement for pve

cool keen to check it out.
