Bro I’m the most new to wow and have seen your shorts on TH-cam and got an invite from YOU to join stoned and honor and I was stoked lol keep up the content brother!!
I actively refused to grind for the Grandmarshal Gear in SoD because the Corfeforged 6-piece combined with stamina-weighted cloak, neck, rings and 1 trinket is so much better for damage and mediocre survivability. There is no need for HP when you can just go for CC + Oneshot line-up's. Great Video!
Can you post a quick video or comment detailing the “instant twist” setup. Specifically what you do and maybe what macros you have to always kick off the instant twist/burst at the beginning of each fight. I am struggling with this particular part. Thanks!
When you time repentance during a swing animation. The damage doesnt break it. Even on a twist. Like this you can effectively get 2 sealtwist swings in before it breaks.
T1 also has the upside of fire resistance, which is really REALLY good vs shamans with lavashock and flameshock. If you activate fire res aura with t1 and the fire res enchants on back and shoulders vs a shaman, they hit like wet noodles. I noticed the change when doing pvp using t2, that I am at a much higher risk of dying to shamans. T2 has nature and frost resist, which is okay vs frost mages, but since its mixed, you don't have the same effect as t1 has on shamans and there is a LOT of cocky shamans that need humbling.
thank you brotha for the guide, quick question, what trinket would you recomend to go if one didnt have that darkmoon card? just the basic HoJ or do you have a secret second sauce?
Would you be able to discuss the rotation more in depth? I understand seal twisting to a point, and I have the same gear as you, but it seems I am not hitting nearly as hard as you are. I must be doing something wrong.
I go live on twitch just about every day from 11pm-3am est. Ima go live in a hour or so if you want to visually see what I do to get a better understanding
Man been following for a while but you make me so jelly bro 😢 if i had my comp still i would be with you delivering lights Justice on The horde! Very good video an informative I wanted to say if you think you can make a video about other potential specs or other forms of gear that might even go good with your spec other then what you showed in less a must. Even though I know I likely I won't play SoD but anybody else who is a ret main like myself I personally love when somebody puts out ret content whether it's PvP or PvE more when its PvE like gear wise stuff or anything to approve your damage game.
I know you posted all your addons, but i cant seem to find your swing timer addon ontop of your portraits. Anyone know what it is called? Also the addon that shows your buffs ie sacred shield on your portrait. Thanks guys!
Its always interesting to when i watch your pvp that you know exactly your plan going into every fight. I honestly gasp at the damage you put out some video's. HOLY mackerel! pun intended. Question you maybe could answer: how similar of a build could you have in Classic? (not SoD) would most of this build still be considered viable?
Brother, answer me thus: Mine reckoning isn’t working, or I am merely blinded by the Void’s trickery. No WeakAuras show them building up, hath they changeth this acursed talent? Shallt it no longer grant additional strikes against heathens? Or am I merely a fucking imbecile? Fantastic video
@@arkaviunI just cast seal when my auto stack is ready , though I lose the seal twist. So elems have to choice if they want keep purging me and eventually die or actually fight
Because it's a different build ; He choose to go 10% more strengh, for uninterrups while csting/healing for 70% (100% in consec aura Btw) , 12% more healing power on Holy lights and Flashes of life ( divine lights too) , consecration which is ok for certain plays ( like discovering rogues with consec l1) and he goes then for ilumination, which make him more mana efficient when doing crit healing. Going for prot have his stuff and lot of defense stats and stuns but your heals are expensive and don't heal as much ( at least with full ret gear because no int on it). oh and also more damage of seal of martyr or martydoom.
Please help Omnicc How to enable stun display on my own character. I have scanned all options on the Omnicc bar but found nothing that displays enemy cc on my head
it's nice, but when you don't have time to do pve raids, you have to make do with pvp parts and the set bonus isn't great. I play a bit of the same spec and I switch with the reckoning spec, it’s also super fun
@@philfox3424 should be about 17k players on there mate, do "/join world" and "/join lfg" and chat shout start to fill up, you might just be unlucky on layers
Very nice video as always mate! But how about ret paladins like me who are leveling now and plan to only play pvp, no raid sets? Should i abandon my plans or continue? I know double judge without raid set is not possible amymore and that was a hit for me, now you saying that the dmg difference from pve to pvp gear is enormous i think i cant take more hits
the build i showed is very gear dependent. you could just use full pvp gear and go the reckoning route. but if you wanted to do the seal twisting build unfortunately, you have to raid
Blizzard needs to stop picking favorites. Doesn't allow new players to play alliance gives alliance huge advantage no mass dispell for a paladins bubble no greater holy protection potion and no pallys on horde. What they did is creat a first come first serve server with a huge tilt towards alliance and pallys. Pallys were never this good in classic why buff a class that gets a free immune to all damage for 10 seconds in damage. They also have good crowd control. Playing favorites and changing classic to be more like retail was the biggest fuck you to classic players, pvp, new players .
DPS in PvE yes, but not the ability to sealtwist + sealstack judge (judging with 2x seals) + another GCD which results in the FAR HIGHER Damage Peaks and depending on armor of the enemy target and how often you're critting you can deal enough damage to just one or two-shot enemies. There is no need for "DPS" when the fight is over in 2 seconds.
@@Kenji-117 the problem is that judgement of command doesn’t really do that much damage, and u can still seal twist without stacking, sure u get more gcd but if u don’t one shot then ur dps goes way down. Warriors etc can’t be one shot even with t1 and mages etc can be one shot even with t2 in my experience
@@Gotmilk0112 it was 2 phases, 2 and 3 specifically, and it was a different spec each phase, not the same. ret has been consistently bonkers for 4 phases straight, from 1 through 4 and soon to be 5, and they are literally getting to the point where they are super heroes. they are running around one-shotting boomkins, bears and warriors dude. learn to cleanse and you'd have been fine in phase 3. phase 2 i admit enhance was broken and that was promptly fixed in phase 3. you saying shaman was "busted" for "4 phases straight" is just the usual paladin cope take. phase 1 was garbage for shaman. 2 and 3 they were busted. 4 they are falling off, and now in 5 they are straight up bad.

Not ironic. Ret paladin loses half its damage if you don't have the PVE tier set since they removed double judging and the PVP set has dogshit stam. The damage reduction aura combined with the HP bonus in BGs that make it so that everybody not a potato has over 10k hp means that ret pallies cant oneshot without reck and are a wheelchair class otherwise. Basically means Rets are way better outside of BGS and the shamans, boomkins and hunters dominate in bgs. It is what it is.

I haven't seen world PvP this good from paladins since Jamaz back in Vanilla.
Does a newbie to paladin have to seal twist or will the mana saved be beneficial and sustain a good fight?

I wanted to know what attack macro you use.
would this cast sequence also work on ERA but edited for seal of righteousness instead ?
If you don’t have the 6 piece set bonus when do you suggest using that twist macro you showed?
the twist macro is always good. without the 6 piece the window to seal twist is much smaller but still possible
Does weaponskill do anything in pvp ? Its a sod thing ?
Does this build work for the anniversary version of Wow, taking into account that it doesn't have the pvp items yet?
it wont, the set bonus that seems to be the core of this build is SoD exclusive, youre better off running reckadin with pvp armor for anniversary
