Would someone like to post a good link to a pally build after the latest patch? I am a level 70 retribution pally that is doing no pvp. Also, it would be nice if someone could give reasons why they chose the talent tree that they did. I have read many pros and cons about the affects of Divine storm. Please lets hear some input on the matter. Cheers, Chilli.
i'll end up putting some recommended talent builds in this soon, but a short answer is at 70 i recommend:
http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?paladin=052320500033310302135031351000000000000000000000000000050000000000000000000000 this build intentionally has 2 talents missing from what you are allowed at 70. there are 2 things i'd recommend w/ those 2 points. either put on in SoC if you think you'll be using it (i.e. on trash instead of Martyr/Blood) and one in Sanctified Wrath, or put them both in sanctified wrath. Some might recommend getting the 3 min Hand of Protection in prot, but for the most part i don't think that's as useful as either 1 min off your avenging wrath (and the armor penetration especially now that DS is physical too) or 30 seconds off AW and Seal of Command... But that part of the choice i leave to you. otherwise i think this is the best talent build i've seen for a pve Ret pally.
Pro's and cons of DS? um, what in the world would be the cons? extra damage? um, AOE damage? hmm, maybe the healing returned is bad? i can't think of any reason not to take it. You should be careful when using it just like with any aoe ability so as not to break CC, but otherwise it's an awesome ability that will boost your dps quite a bit.
rather than explain ever part of this build i'll hope it's pretty self evident. if not ask about specific talents and i'll try to answer. the reason i take this build is it is every ability that will directly improve your dps except Sanctified Wrath which i recommend at least on point in anyway.
