Ret Paladin Azerite Talent HELP

Hello guys. I don’t seem to grasp how this azerite trait bs is working.
Here are my questions:
Do i need to stack 3 of the same talents to make it good?
Do i need to stack 2 of the same and 1 random?
Do i need to have 1 of each highest rated one to make it good?
Should i just go for the highest ilvl item rather then going for the azerite traits?
Is azertie trait worth more then ilvl then?

…i can’t see the huge gameplay change either way…maybe cuz i just started and i am very very low geard.
I do want to get the best gear from mythic dungeons and such…and for that i need to know a lot more about this azerite trait bs.

Please someone answer my questions.
Thank you.

Honestly there’s no easy answer.
Here’s Azerite breakdown according WoWhead:

Just check Bloodmallet and stack the pieces and traits you see on highest. You can’t go too much wrong.

If you want to be efficient with your trait choices you might need to sim yourself in order to find out what works best for you.

From what I’ve seen, based on my own experiences, for Single target you want 2 traits of Light’s Decree (or one Light’s decree and 1 Dagger in the back for single target) and one Empyrean Power trait. For raids you need one Light’s Decree and one Empyrean Power and either Laser Matrix or Archive of the Titans.

Simming might show different values, but these should be a good starting point for you.

Empyrean power and Lights decree x1.

Then basicly;
Fortified mythic+ weeks; add a 2nd Empyrean Power, it allows you to use your Divine storm as a cleave on two targets.
Tyrannical weeks: Add a Dagger in the back or 2nd Lights Decree.
In Uldir: Just add a lazor matrix.

The issue are really that before 22nd january it’s hard to combine the first ring choices with the powerfull 2nd ring ones like Overwhelming power and Gutripper so it’s a constant simming to get the most out of your azerite pieces.

Sim yourself, it’s all I can say :).

Also, join the paladin discord server and read the FAQ. It’s quite helpfull!
