Ret Pally, help a noob plz?

[techead]

hi guys

can you please help me with my questions?

Im lvl 62 and Im busy fighting in the Outlands. Im not sure what auras/seals/skills to be using to be the MOST effective dps so I can lvl nice and quickly

currently Im using seal of wisdom (instead of command) because I run out of mana all the time even when I use the mana judgement spell to try keep it up! I spam judgements, crusader strike and exocism when art of war proccs.

So im just a bit confused right now coz I cant keep my mana up! Maybe I just have REALLY crap items?

Sorry im a n00b

use seal of veng for single target, and command for more then 1.

make sure u judge wisdom and speced for for maga regen talent(something wisdom also) in ret tree then you are ok

Try this blog. Got some nice tips when I looked in to Protection. Haven't read everything on retribution yet, but I am sure you will be able to find some tips.

Alright the advice above are correct, but not 100% on the dot.

Seal: Always Seal of Command on both single/multiple targets. If the target is alive longer than 20 seconds +- depending on gear, use Seal of Vengeance, so mostly only on bosses.
Judge: Mostly wisdom, the healing one is not worth it, not even in raids unless there are more than one retri pala on the same target.

Talents: You 100% need 3/3 Judgement of the wise, this is how Retri paladins keep their mana up most of the time, it regens one hell of a lot of mana.
Judgement of the wise: http://thottbot.com/ta1758 its in the same tier as Art of War so you should have it by now, its more NB than Art of War anyways.

Rotation is easy, for now you can just spam all your buttons, once you want to max dps you can start prioritizing the order when you start or when more than one is not on cooldown.

Generally though, make sure seal is active, start by judging, then Crusader strike into a Divine storm, use Exorcism when Art of War procs.

You can only do one thing different if you solo, and that is use Taunt to pull mobs, it does some nice initial damage, but the damage only happens if you don't have aggro, don't use this in raids/instances.

What Tinuva says is true.

It's most important to spec 3/3 into Judgement of the Wise and use Seal of Vengeance/Command 100% of the time. This way you will not run out of mana while still doing relatively high DPS (Due to the Seal), if you feel that you are still running into Mana problems while specced into Judgment of the Wise, get the Glyph of Seal of Command (this one).

Also, spec into Pursuit of Justice (This one) which speeds up the leveling process when running from pack to pack.

Good luck with the Retradin, fun class to play

thanks Tinuva and Hymn

I respecced my talents and its night and day!!! My mana never goes below 2/3... ever! I have the Seal of Command.

yeah it seems like its only worth using seal of vengence when the mob is gonna be there for a while so you can stack it, other wise seal of command ftw

i must be honest, I remember playing a warrior a loooong time ago, and at the same place where I am now... Im TOTALLY RAPING compared to the warrior. Just got my first socket item, a helm... not quite sure what to pop in there though.

Also, my base crit chance is sitting around 22%, is that reasonable?

Cheers

Strength + Crit is the way to go for you.

22% Crit is reasonable considering your level.
