Is that a bug?

It's intended, it's been that way since they changed the racials a while back. It gives a CP for Rogues too, I believe.

I would only ever use it if I have absolutely 100% nothing else to cast. It generates no HP in a spec that relies almost entirely on HP damage.

Im trying to remember...but I think its also non-functional on stun-immune mobs?

So raid bosses of any sort would be zero affected.

It does 600% of your AP as damage when used with the JG legendary, regardless of stunning or not. It doesn't generate AP though, so it kinda sucks.

Hello fellow paladins,

just want to ask about best trinket Convergence of Fates. Is it still best now ? In hotfixes from 18.1. is "Convergence of Fates: now activates 70% less often for Retribution Paladins (other specs unaffected)."

Probably no -  i expect now a draught or FCM are BiS (along with eye of command),but update will be nice for sure

In your BiS section, you state that the best t19 pieces to go for are helm, chest, shoulders and legs. I was wondering if it would be better to go gauntlets instead of chest, and use the Chestplate of Impenetrable Darkness in conjunction with an Eye of Command.

Your trinket recommendation is so far off and horribly wrong. It's disgusting tbh. 

KJs burning wish isnt even a contender on patchwerk fights or cleave fights (with legendaries). 

Draught of Souls isn't even close to being a contender. CoF is number one, then the cleave trinket from the scorpion boss, then FCM is third followed closely by  eye of command (competing based on ilvl). 

Why do you guys always post the wrong info?

Can anyone clarify the rotation a little bit? The guide just says 'build holy power, use judgement, spend it' rather than the very detailed lists found in most of the other guides. I'm trying to follow along based on the opener, but past that I feel like I don't have a very good handle on what move I'm supposed to be using and when.

Just want to ask - ilvl 860 Eye of Command  shows here that you get 207 crit, stacking 10 times its 2070 crit. But This trinket gives only 148 crit (1480 with 10 stacks).

And this prior list counting with 207 or 148 crit ?

The list uses the 148 crit version. the id of the icon that the site uses is off.

for more details about trinkets check the spread sheet provided in the end of the Trinket list.

Was running some talent comparisons in simcraft, and the results did not line up with what I expected. For pure single target, it shows ES+FoJ+BoW, FV+FoJ+BoW, and FV+Zeal+BoW all being equal (less than 0.1% variance). Even FV+Zeal+DH is only ~2.5% behind.

Was also surprised that even at 2 targets full aoe spec (Consecrate+GJ+DH) has a slight ~1.5% edge over FV+Zeal+DH.

Is simcraft wrong, or has blizzard really messed up their tuning so we basically don't have a single target spec that gives a dps boost over cleave spec?

Sim results differs from one character to another.

 

What is written here is a general use of the talents and which works well overall.

The spreadsheet that is linked should now cover all trinket questions.

I think you're still better off using the recommended and then going for DoS/FCM.

The issue is, the rotation for Ret is basically that. You will work on a priority system that functions similar to this:

  • Do you have Holy Power ready to spend?
    • If not, generate Holy Power using Crusader Strike or Blade of Justice.
    • If yes, go to next step.
  • Do you have the Judgement debuff up on the mob?
    • If no, use Judgement.
    • If yes, use Templar's Verdict to spend your Holy Power and Execution Sentence.

That's the absolute basic priority, you then need to read in to some of the more "in-depth" sections that Fardion has prepared.

I have noticed something that might answer why my SIMS say I should have much higher DPS than I am pulling.  I noticed when testing on a target dummy that I was getting really bad dps during wings (700kish) but overall my abilities were performing as intended, i.e. Crit rates were around the mark.  I realized that I was not getting Templar's Verdict crit during my crusade.  I went back and tested again with a crusade only parse and noticed that I primarily got Echo of the Highlord TV crit, not the main attack.  However, combat logs record it as a TV crit.  I started going back through old parses and realized a crit % for TV was most likely just Echo crit when I had low dps.  I did some more testing and went through Skada, my average crit over a 4min parse was 600k with TV!  The programs are incorrectly counting Echo crits as TV crits.  IMO, sims are doing the same thing and applying your crit rate to the baseline TV attack, when it seems like the main attack is VASTLY underperforming.  As anyone else noticed this going on?  For example, I sim at like 630k over 4 mins but at a dummy I'm lucky to get 530k.  I am keeping the correct rotation and my parses are similar in cast numbers to the higher ones.  Am I just getting extremely bad luck with TV crits or is there something wrong with how crit is applied to the main attack of TV vs. Echo?

I'm personally not aware of something that could be causing this issue to occur, but I don't play a Ret so don't count on me! I'm going to tag @Farion, he might be able to shed some more insight into this.

Sorry that I couldn't answer myself!

      Dragonflight Season 4 adds a new world quest for Spark of Awakening.
      To get your Spark of Awakening, you must complete a different quest every week.
      The weekly quest is available from Therazal in central Valdrakken. There are 3 options, but only one is active every week, similar to how Awakened raids rotate.

      Dragon Isles Quest
      Participate in a Community Feast Participate in a Hunt Lay siege to Dragonbane Keep Zaralek Cavern Quest
      Protect the Researchers Under Fire Loot a Secured Shipment (Suffusion Camp) Complete a Time Rift Amirdrassil Quest
      Earn 50 Bloom during the Superbloom Complete a Superbloom Plant 3 Dreamseeds Quest Rewards
      Completing any of the 3 quests above grants the Season 4 spark fragment (Splintered Spark of Awakening) via Weekly Awakened Activity and a Cache of Awakened Storms.
      You will need two Splintered Spark of Awakening and 250 Flightstones to create one Spark of Awakening.

      Super Squirt is available on NA servers today, allowing you to reach max level with your pets in just two battles!
      The so-called "Super Squirt Day" has arrived on NA realms today.
      You will find Squirt in the Garrison Menagerie, but you will need a Level 3 Garrison. Use your Garrison Hearthstone toy to get to your WoD Garrison.
      You can combine this week's event buff, Sign of the Critter, with other items like Safari Hat toy and pet treats (Lesser Pet Treat / Pet Treat) for even more XP bonus, which results in your pets reaching max level in just 2 battles!
      Head over to Petopia to read some strategies on how to defeat Squirt!

      Today's hotfixes are still very Plunderstorm-heavy, but we do get fixes for more achievement-related mount issues and PvP catch-up, in addition to the limited time event's adjustments.
      March 27 (Source)
      Achievements
      Fixed bugs causing mounts related to A World Awoken to be unavailable, including Bestowed Ottuk Vanguard, Bestowed Trawling Mammoth, Bestowed Thunderspine Packleader, Bestowed Sandskimmer, Bestowed Ohuna Spotter, Coralscale Salamanther, Stormtouched Bruffalon, and Taivan. Player versus Player
      Fixed an issue that prevented Splintered Sparks of Dreams from dropping from PvP sources while eligible for catch-up. Plunderstorm
      The Storm’s fury swells! Lightning strikes during the final stage of the Storm are faster and more dangerous than before. There is now a delay of 20 seconds after being revived where players no longer drop collected Plunder. Additional enemies now spawn at Witherbark Village, the wild area northeast of Go’Shek Farm, and the wild area between Witherbark Village and Boulderfist Hall. Fixed an issue where swapping back to default sword and gun appearances were not saving correctly. Fixed an issue so that now, picking up an additional rank 2 spell while the same rank 2 spell is equipped properly grants the rank 4 version of the spell. The Captain’s Orders quest “X Marks the Spot” now requires 1 item to be picked up (was 2 items).

      Well that didn't take long! We found out someone had broken the 700,000 Plunder milestone yesterday evening, and we're already done with the full amount now! Soularpower_ managed to grind it out a couple of hours ago in duos, and grabbed the Plunderkind achievement, so huge congratulations! It's been a week and a day since the event was released, and despite there being plenty of Plunder drop buffs since then it's still great to see someone get it all done already. 


      Unsurprisingly, the first thing Soularpower_ after reaching that goal was... play more Plunderstorm! He's actually still at it if now you want to check the stream out.
