Recipe for decent ret pala dps

[Nikita]

Been tinkering with my ret paladin dps for days now. Finaly found the recipe for doing decent enough dps for heroics and LFR without being booted after first boss.

Key 2 // Prot pala AOE sequence:

/castsequence reset=5 Hammer of the Righteous ,Judgement, Hammer of the Righteous, Word of Glory,Hammer of the Righteous, Shield of the Righteous, Judgement, Hammer of the Righteous, Shield of the Righteous, Hammer of the Righteous, Shield of the Righteous

Key 1 // Prot pala single sequence:

/castsequence reset=5 Crusader Strike, Judgement, Crusader Strike, Holy Wrath, Crusader Strike, Shield of the Righteous, Judgement, Crusader Strike, Shield of the Righteous, Crusader Strike, Shield of the Righteous

Im using HKN, so everytime I press "1" on my keyboard, I also send "5" which is my Avengers Shield.


Key 2 // Ret pala AOE sequence:

/castsequence reset=combat Divine Storm, Judgement, Divine Storm, Holy Wrath, Divine Storm, Inquisition, Judgement, Divine Storm, Exorcism, Divine Storm, Judgement, Divine Storm, Templar's Verdict, Exorcism


Key 1 // Ret pala single dps sequence:

/castsequence reset=combat Crusader Strike, Judgement, Crusader Strike, Holy Wrath, Crusader Strike, Inquisition, Judgement, Crusader Strike, Exorcism, Crusader Strike, Judgement, Crusader Strike, Templar's Verdict, Exorcism

My ret paldin dps key is "1", with HKN I scripted it so that everytime I press "1", I also press "4" and "5". On button "4" I have zealotry, "5" is Hammer of Wrath.

These macros are giving me well above 20k in heroics without CDs, and in LFR im closing in on 25-30k depending on lucky RNG. People tend to complain less if you do more then 22-23 k dps in LFR.

These macros seem to lock up from time to time, depending if you have Holy Power to cast that certain spell. So keep a good eye and see if everyone is hitting some spells. Another problem is mana issue. Sometimes "Art of War" dont proc, and my ret paladins try and hard cast Exorcism, even thou its not optimal, I still do enough dps to not get booted.

Just thought Id share these, cus there havent been much info about ret paladins on this forum for ages.

Been trying to find something to speed up my boosting, thanks.

One thing I notice is that you never want to cast exorcism unless Art of War procs (and target is undead??). I took it out of your macro and just hit my exorcism keybind when AoW procs. Otherwise seems to be a fine macro.

I have this macro on a bar:
/startattack
/use 13
/use 14
/cast Divine Protection
/cast Avenging Wrath

Then added yours to my button spam like this:
/Click MultiBarRightButton1
/castsequence reset=3 Crusader Strike,Judgement, Crusader Strike,Holy Wrath,Crusader Strike,Inquisition, Judgement, Crusader Strike, Crusader Strike, Judgement, Crusader Strike,Templar's Verdict

And your dps with this macro is? Ilvl on toon? Hit capped?

[JohnGabriel]

I did 33k on Ultraxion in LFR, item level 392. Yes hit capped, I am setup using the stats found on elitistjerks.com

edit: I should note that macro + watching AoW + watching HoW + watching Zealotry gets that DPS. I don't think I'd get that much boxing with the macro only.
