Retribution Paladin DPS Crucible of Storms Raid Guide — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.2.5
On this page, you will find tips, tricks, and strategies tailored to your Retribution Paladin for each boss of the following raid: Crucible of Storms. All our content is updated for World of Warcraft — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.2.5.
Disclaimer
This page will focus primarily on how a Retribution Paladin can optimize its performance on the raid bosses in Crucible of Storms, and not on an actual raid strategy for the bosses.
Retribution Paladin in Crucible of Storms
Both of the encounters favor ranged, multi-DoT specs, but compared to other melee specs, Retribution will do comparably well.
Right after the first Light's Decree Azerite trait, you
want to have a single
Empyrean Power Azerite trait for the
Crucible of Storms encounters. The first
Empyrean Power trait
gives you the most additional free cleave damage, while also
providing viable single-target damage.
Due to the raid hostility mechanics of the Crucible of Storm encounters,
Divine Storm and
Wake of Ashes should be used with care.
