Retribution Paladin DPS Spec, Builds, and Talents — Midnight Season 1

This build is best for pure single-target situations. Radiant Glory can be taken instead of Execution Sentence for a more consistent damage profile with better passive cleave, but less funnel.

This build drops the worst single-target talents for stronger AoE options. For more AoE damage, Jurisdiction can be swapped for Tempest of the Lightbringer. Swapping Radiant Glory for Execution Sentence will also give a stronger priority damage profile that also brings funnel, but less overall AoE damage.

This build works best for short-duration multi-target combat and frequent movement from enemy to enemy. For longer sustained combat where enemies live for more than a few seconds like higher level Delves, the regular Mythic+ builds should be used instead.

Although the Raid build linked above is a strong default build in most situations, each individual boss can have talents swapped depending on the profile your raid needs. The options listed here are strong swaps to make for each encounter, but you can still find success with alternative builds on each one too. The swaps listed are assuming the Templar Raid single-target build as a baseline.

• Take: Blessed Champion
• Drop: Judgment of Justice
• Radiant Glory can also be taken over Execution Sentence for stronger cleave damage and more flexible cooldown timings.

• Although a single-target build is the best choice for Vorasius, there is currently a bug that causes Execution Sentence to not be correctly applied sometimes, which makes Radiant Glory a more consistent choice.
• Take: Radiant Glory
• Drop: Execution Sentence

• Pure single-target is fine here, but picking up minimal passive cleave talents for the Orbs is also a decent option.
• Take: Blessed Champion or Sanctify
• Drop: Judgment of Justice

• Although there are plenty of situations where burst AoE is useful on this encounter, many of the talents that are useful for consistent AoE situations aren't actually useful here. For example, Blade of Vengeance and Tempest of the Lightbringer won't contribute much damage, since the phases you are able to hit both bosses you still won't have enough range to cleave with Blade of Justice, and you will still cast Final Verdict instead of Divine Storm on two targets. Blessed Champion is a strong option here, since the spells it affects will cleave two targets on this encounter. Radiant Glory can also be a consideration as it can make Voidorb damage more consistent.
• Take: Blessed Champion
• Drop: Judgment of Justice

• This is an encounter where you can consistently always cleave either two or three targets. This makes the build you use much more AoE oriented, as you essentially never need to use Final Verdict.
• Take: Blessed Champion, Blade of Vengeance, Radiant Glory, Sanctify, Tempest of the Lightbringer
• Drop: 2 points in Heart of the Crusader, Jurisdiction, Final Verdict, Execution Sentence

• Although there are opportunities to cleave on this encounter, all the important areas for damage are single-target - all cleave can be done passively. This makes a pure single-target build the best choice. Timings for Execution Sentence also work very well on this encounter.

• Although single-target damage does still matter, there are a lot of opportunities for useful passive cleave on this encounter, which makes some AoE options pretty attractive.
• Take: Blessed Champion, Blade of Vengeance, Radiant Glory, Sanctify
• Drop: Judgment of Justice, 2 points in Heart of the Crusader, Execution Sentence

The main choices to make in Mythic+ for damage are just between whether you want to prioritize single-target or AoE damage. For more AoE, the only realistic option to take is Tempest of the Lightbringer, which you would take instead of Jurisdiction. For more single-target, you can take Execution Sentence instead of Radiant Glory. This also gives you stronger funnel and priority damage, which can be stronger on higher keys especially. Both swaps will roughly gain and lose the same amount between single-target and AoE.
