Retribution Paladin Rework Is Here! First Thoughts & Takeaways

Talking about playing with the new rework stuff. Pretty much no complaints felt great.

The one thing that I noticed immediately was our survivability and tankiness. Off the charts difference!

[shaunybonny]

The tankiness I noticed immediately, feels so good. The extra steed duration is great too. The damage is higher too in M+ for me. Hate to say it, I expect nerfs. Cross your fingers boys.

Interesting video and opinion - I would add smth to the movement topic - pony is now off gcd which is in my opinion such a biggg gamechanger

[gandalfdengra]

They did a stellar job with this rework for sure, some stuff to be wished for still but dang does it feel great to play!

[renegeeder]

Optional single HP generating with more charges and not being required to use Wake of Ashes, I'm gonna give Ret another shot!

So it’s crit and vers as our secondaries? Low haste?

[edwardhatfield]

Call it padding if you will, but with a M+ build, on raid bosses with a good uptime of adds that must die to go to the next phase, Retribution really shines. 300k dps on stacked adds with 400ilev is not just possible but likely. Was 2nd on the damage meter on bosses with adds last night. Will try my luck in pvp tonight and expect great things.

Bias being a ret Pally main since vanilla but, as far as BGs and arenas, we're not as OP as people claim, they just NOTICE us more because we aren't a damn joke anymore. We're on the charts but not constantly topping. Solo shuffle I did 1 game and went 6-0 but that's gotta be psychological with all the hype, other classes heard but don't understand the changes so trying to kill the easy target no longer worked.

Can you link the build in the comments?

[thundergodd]

How do you build stacks with Blessing from Dawn? By building up to 5 Holy Power? Thanks.

Maybe you can confirm for me: I thought that Divine Protection prevented knock back and I found that is def not the case. Also templar's slash still does not feel impactful to me. Beyond that it did feel really good. I'm even thinking about making a "sword and board" macro to have for m+ in case the tank dies as I've seen some ppl trying that even before the rework.

[Black_heartTTK]

I climbed 500 rating in 2s and in 3s last night after it dropped. 1 shot potential on opener and every 1 minute? It's insane. Absolutely insane.

[meltdown]

Isn't the 10% dot dmg better talent than the 3sec longer wings?

[hap]

Im not using Vanguard..i tried, hated it...guess ill play off meta

[BLCKSTEEL]

So still getting tunneled mindlessly by everyone in solo shuffle but I can actually live now 😂

[GummyBear]

The community hates ret paladins. We'll get nerfed come 10.1

[clawnor]

We will get nerfed. Youtube algorithm is full of haters already. 1 week? 4 weeks? Play all you can.

[apocalypseap]

The Blessed Hammer that comes from HoW basically does nothing lol. Not even sure why it's part of that talent with how not-impactful it is, to be honest.

[Fleury]

They are going to have to nerf it a bit.
