Cataclysm: The Ret Paladin- AKA Multi-Box Burst PVP Machines.

[Ualaa]

There was a thread here (dual-boxing), less then a week ago.

It was a link to a youtube video for Power Auras.
You can configure it to display something when you have full charges of Holy Power.
Assuming you make it large/obvious enough to notice on the slave window, you can track full charges of Holy Power.

Approximating the charges can work too.
You can know flat out, you will have at least 3 Holy Power, after doing "x" moves.
Quite frequently, because of procs/specials/etc, you'll have it earlier then this.

But can macro or time your big move accordingly, depending on whether you want highest DPS (use it as soon as each toon is guaranteed to have a full stack) or controlled burst (use move "x" no more then once every 15 seconds, in conjunction with whatever).

I guess I'll just have to get that team fired up and play with my Power Auras, I would like to have the icons on my main screen, not on my slave windows.

Divine storm change to not require holy power is nice, also in latest beta patch it was changed to 80% weapon damage... which is nice.

Is anyone even using TV in heriocs or for leveling? I find getting all my toons to 3 charges to be a pain, and also a waste of potential when one toon is sitting at 3 charges. This just leaves me constantly using Word of Glory instead since it scales linearly with amount of charges used.

If at least 3 of your dudes has max holy power it isnt a waste to use TV.

Since this thread is already 9 pages, it can't possibly be a waste of time to ask:

Can you throw some numbers up for why you think that 3/4 toons with 3 Holy Power is the right goal to aim for?

Same reason why you want 4 lava burst to land at the same time. PVE doesn't matter.

Its spell landing together at the same time (or in a smallest window possible) that matters. If TV comes out 1 by 1 , it is healable easily.

It is worth the wait to land a 20k crit x 3 or x 4.

Exactly... but it looks like it'll hit higher especially with inquisition.

Are you guys taking Divine Purpose in your ret builds?

As far as I can tell, with the difficulty we are having getting rotations set up and having TV fire off in sync, any dps increase from the procs is probably offset by its unpredicatbility anyway.

From what I see, Divine Purpose would be a spell that you would not plan for, but simply rely on for extra survivability. For those instances when you need to cast a heal right away even tho your pallies aren't at max charge. This talent will just add a little bit more in.

Anyone want to share their key set-ups? Not where each key is on the keyboard, or the letter you bind it to, just how you simplify your set-up to make it more plausible.

-I keep Hammer of Wrath on a Step function in Crusader strike so that every other press fires a Hammer, that way I don't have to watch for when my target goes under 25%.
-Getting exorcism to go off correctly is a pain. Does anyone know for sure if /stopcasting still stops all melee swings, or is macro-ing it in right after the exorcism a good thing? I've just been jumping a lot when I press the exorcism key.
-Since Judgements now do horrible damage, I just have them bound in with my Deathgrip, and try to avoid using them at all except to close distance and keep up the melee haste.
