Retadin PVP guide

[erma]

Ok this is first guide i made so dont be angry on me if i made few mistakes, or smthing like that. OK, so I am gonna present u here retadin pvp spec that i am using. Here is the link of my talent build :


http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#sZqGzhroZVf0tbGuGdIbsu

Point of this talent build is to allow you great survivabilty in arenas and BGs
There are few main things to do :
First thing u gotta do is to stack crit rating so that u can crit more often against resilianced players. Also it is very important to crit alot because of
The Art of War - Spell - World of Warcraft
but we'll talk about that later.


As u can i see i put my talents into :
Divine Sacrifice - Spell - World of Warcraft
and :
Divine Guardian - Spell - World of Warcraft

Cuz it increases duration of sacred shield and icreases its absorption, and also when divine sacrifice is active damage taken is increased by 20 %. Divine sacrifice can also help alot in arena if ur oponents are concetrated on ur partner.U should have Righteous fury always turned on, because of:
Improved Righteous Fury - Spell - World of Warcraft

Its 6 % dmg reduction is quite a good thing. Also i use Seal of command but thats optional ( and it also depends against who are you fightning, Seal of Coru. is good against rogues etc.)

So before match start get urself a BOK,sacred shield , righteous fury, some seal, and aura. Aura is very important, especially against casters ( because of resistances). U should pick Fire resist aura against shammy, etc.
So when they attack you your sacred absorbtion should pop out. At this point, criting a lot is very good thing cuz it gives you art of war that can heal you instantly ( + its critical chance is inscreased because of sacred shield, so when you crit , you get overtime heal ) Also if u are fightning against another retadin, you can negate his wings for 6 secs with divine sacrifice.With these dmg absorbtion u will be though guy to beat, and you will still load out a big amount of damage. Use wings when needed but watch out, because when u use wings u cant use your bubble or blessing of protection for 30 seconds. And i almost forgot, u can also give your sacred shield to your arena partner ( but you should know that )

Sorry if i made a repost i didnt find anything similar with this, and sorry for my spelling mistakes, i am not so good with english. Good luck xD

Wait isnt Pursuit of Justice important ?

[zutto]

is this supposed to be a guide?

[erma]

Ah sry i made a mistake.. xD I changed it now <.<

[stangcobra]

Im sorry but this is arguably the worst guide ive ever seen for ret pvp
the spec should look like this : Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
divine guardian is worthless, and imp HoJ is not really that good unless you are playing a double stunner lineup and need to keep someone locked down extremely long

I feel like with your build you wouldnt be able to put out enough damage to kill a healer, especially in 2v2 as ret/heals

yeah but add 1% dmg against humans + 3 % haste and you instagib all healers?

[erma]

Who said that i cant load out a lot of dmg :S:S Anotherpvper is right With my talents you cant kill healer in 2 hits, but with your talents its a lot easier xD I think also that mine talent build aquires better survivability in arenas and BGs, BTW i tested it , and i am using it all the time. Can you tell me pls why is divine guardian useless ?

[Khalts]

i'm not quite into Ret pvp as i'm currently 76 with my paladin BUT i do realize we are mostly about the big BAM with our crits and art of war can be an aditional burst damage for getting HoW on their faces or making them QQ as you keep damaging what ur life keeps getting WTF WHO IS HEALING HIM !
jst my 2 cents
Crit em all and ur fine ?

[buddhistgrandma]

Step 1) Spec properly
Step 2) Queue for arenas
Step 3) Roll face on keyboard
Step 4) Collect points

post of completely full of useless facts. the knowledge stated is absolute basic....

ret pallys are known for their burst, control (hoj/rep is alot of control...) and their ability to play a very supportive defeinsive roles (cleanse, sacifice, freedom, heal).
1 of the hardest part of being a good ret is to manage ur gcds (every globels) perfectly (especially during arena matchs), either to do dmg, cleanse, hand ur teammates or bubble (im sure u all see a ret die w/o bubbling once a while..)

e.g say mage rogue vs u(ret) n rogue.
u have focus on a mage and u with ur partner is nuking down their healer (priest), if the mage is apply to peel with sheep n nova, so you should save ur nxt globels for cleanse or as soon as u c sheep being cast to dispel ur teammate from being controld.

same apply to freedom-stuns, sacifice, bops, bubble and even heal.

master that follow by ur focus hoj, rep, bubble, wings and ur be good at being a ret.

wings is the idea of focus me over my partner or others. this apply to either cc or dps.

most rets pmuch soloity in nuking and doing dmg but they never do the good support roles they ment to be. (i.e being facerolling their 123 4 keys but forget bout the rest)

So you all basically ignore 15% more judgement damage? talking about seals of the pure

[Mpidis]

You could use Frost Res Aura for the Frost Mages if you wanted a better example than Fire for shamans. Still a good try. Try to check guides of expirienced players before make yours if you are a beginner.

[tifaz]

most reliable players run 75 spell pene and if require their swap to 135 to negate the resist aruas.

this is done basically with players swaping offhands (300arenapoints) from haste/crit/spirit to spell pene.

that is if they really really need the spell pene. but most players do it.

so just make sure u swap ur arua after a while when say u open against a frost mage if ug ot a free gcd later swap ur arua cause if they swapd then well ur arua is doing shit

[Azzu]

So when they attack you your sacred absorbtion should pop out. At this point, criting a lot is very good thing cuz it gives you art of war that can heal you instantly

wut teh fcuk? critting is very good? ok so when i play my retri i will make sure that i crit all the time!! thanx for the good tips!

[connoromg]

Am sorry but this awful the spec is dire
you dont stack crit, you stack strengh
Dont use res auras because Spell pen makes them irrelevant.
Dont use BoK Use BoM
I use this spec at 2.2k Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

This guide is more confusing for beginners that anything else sorry but thxs for the effort
