Hey all, I’m wondering if Haste/Mastery are the best stats to seek for a Retribution ? I changed my Azerite traits the other day and discovered that Avenger’s Might stacked, meaning with 3 traits I go up to 90% Mastery during Crusade. Coupled with Vision of Perfection R3 it gives a hell of a boost to my dps.
I read on Icy-Veins that having one Empyrean Power was good but when I tried 2x Might 1x Empyrean my DPS dropped by almost 10k.
And I say Haste too because the mechanics of the class feels way less cumbersome with high Haste so is that the right combination ? Mastery boosts Holy damage and that’s all the damage with do right ? I suppose it’s better than just Versatility.
Thanks at least I know I didn’t do it completely wrong ! This paladin has been my main since forever with ups and downs but at BfA the rotation was so messed up with all these gaps I stopped to play other classes. Recently I tried to play Protection and Holy and had lots of fun, however for solo content Ret is the way to go for damage. Glad I’ve found this build which make it way more fun.
i am stacking crit and its realy good…its ok for aoe and its insane for single target…ofc you need to have two sets of azerite gear… dps isnt so terrible outside of wings if you have got sewere + 2 expurgation traits.
Eh that’s my main source of info for all my characters. Their info look mostly right, there are cases where I decide for myself as I don’t agree with them.
What site do you recommend for all classes ? I like the convenience that everything is at the same place.
The problem is you have different stat priority for different content. Mastery is just safer, unless you are dedicating your character for certain content, then you should do specialized priority.
play on the statistics “Mastery%” and “hast%”,it’s very powerfull with “avengers might” and “light’s decree” but only during your glow under wing or “vision of perfection” when it activates. But on the other hand, once the burst is over, you will descend quickly.
If you play more on the statistics “% critical” and “versatility%” with “expurgation” and certain other traits, you will be less powerful in bursts but more constent when you are no longer under burst .
You want a basic amount of haste and then you aim for Crit in more ST environemnts and Mastery for AoE. At some point haste gets useless since no matter how much haste you stack you wont be able to fill the gaps in the rotation. I personally always play with 3xLights Decree, 2x Avengers Might and 1x Empyrean. Even in ST environment the DS proccs from Empyrean add to the flow and cover the rotational gaps very often.
