Fixing the Ret Paladin post 4.0

[Zappy]

I posted my results on the other thread.

I've been able to sustain 5k+ dps on the heroic dummy on my team (forgive the nasty UI):



Now mind you, my palys aren't even close to being hit capped for a boss dummy (117 HR ~ 3.80% hit), but one big difference is I'm using Seal of Truth. If I switch to righteousness, i'm barely able to break 4k on the same target.

Here's my dps macro: Nothing special other than I swap the placement of Divine Storm for all the palys. This works decent for heroic farming and keeping them topped off:

#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=combat crusader strike, judgement, crusader strike, Divine Storm, crusader strike, judgement, crusader strike, Exorcism, Templar's Verdict, Holy Wrath,  crusader strike, judgement, crusader strike, Templar's Verdict, crusader strike, judgement, crusader strike, Templar's Verdict, Exorcism, Holy Wrath
/cast Hammer of Wrath

I'm pulling 5.7K dps single target with this macro:

/castsequence judgement,crusader strike, Templar's Verdict,crusader strike, Templar's Verdict,crusader strike, Templar's Verdict,judgement,crusader strike, Templar's Verdict,crusader strike, Templar's Verdict,crusader strike,Templar's Verdict,exorcism

Why the one HP TVs bigfish?

Im going to work on this today, id like to work in zealotry and inquisition if possible.

been getting 4,5-6,5k dps (single target dps on training dummy) on my ret's with castsequence macros, biggest problem been that CS (or some other spells) has been on CD too much while my castsequence uses other spells or waits for some cd's so i did some changes and now i get 8k-9k dps

When i'm doing singe target dps i'm using buttons 2 + 3 same time + avenging wrath/how macro

button 2
/target focustarget
/Click MultiBarBottomLeftButton1
/Click MultiBarBottomLeftButton2

MultiBarBottomLeftButton1
/castsequence reset=combat/5 crusader strike,crusader strike, templar's verdict, crusader strike,crusader strike, inquisition

MultiBarBottomLeftButton2
/stopcasting
/castsequence exorcism
/stopcasting

button 3
/Click MultiBarBottomLeftButton4 = judgement
/Click MultiBarBottomLeftButton5 = holy wrath
/cast zealotry

for aoe i spam buttons 4 and 3 same time

/target focustarget
/Click MultiBarBottomLeftButton3
/Click MultiBarBottomLeftButton2 look singletarget

MultiBarBottomLeftButton3
/castsequence reset=combat/5 divine storm, divine storm, templar's verdict, divine storm, divine storm, inquisition

haven't tested these macros with word of glory healing and since it uses holy powers some rotations might get stuck to point where you wait for some holy powers and your templar's verdict is on next in castsequence or if you need more healing and just remove it from rotation and add new button for it


oh and quick edit : avg ilvl on my rets dps gear that i'm using is around 320-325
