Retribution Paladin DPS Mythic+ Tips — The War Within (Season 1)

Herald of the Sun rivals Templar on single-target but tends to have an edge once extra targets are added, which makes it the recommendation here.

This build is focused on AoE damage, with a few concessions to keep single target output at a reasonable level.

Templar will perform slightly behind Herald of the Sun in most cases, but it does have strong burst damage and is still a very competitive option.

This build is focused on AoE damage, with a few concessions to keep single target output at a reasonable level.

• Rebuke is your regular short cooldown interrupt. Use it first if you need to interrupt spellcasting.
• Hammer of Justice is a single-target stun with a very long 6-second duration. Use it often to stun-casting mobs that you cannot interrupt with Rebuke.
• Blinding Light can be used to disorient enemies within 10 yards. This can be used as an AoE interrupt for crowd-controllable casting enemies.
• With a 5-second duration, Wake of Ashes is a very potent AoE stun, but it only works against Demon and Undead enemies.
• Repentance can be used to hinder a single Humanoid, Demon, Undead, Dragonkin, or Giant-type enemy within 30 yards until you attack it. Cast it if you want to move around or delay dealing with a particularly dangerous mob. Incapacitating the leader of a patrolling group will also stop the entire group from moving. Remember that you pull aggro and enter combat if you move too close to the incapacitated target.
• Turn Evil fears an Undead, Aberration, or Demon target within 20 yards for up to 40 sec.

• Intercession allows you to bring an ally back to life during combat.
• Activate Devotion Aura to reduce all damage taken by your group by 3%.
• Cleanse Toxins can remove all Poison and Disease effects from a group member.
• Blessing of Protection removes bleeds and other Physical damage effects. Additionally, it grants your target immunity to Physical damage and harmful effects for 10 seconds. It is often used on group members who pulled aggro from the tank via damage or healing.
• Blessing of Sacrifice reduces damage taken by a party member by 30%, but you suffer 100% of damage prevented. It lasts 12 seconds, or until transferred damage would cause you to fall below 20% health. Communicate with your tank and healer to plan when to use this.
• Blessing of Freedom removes and prevents movement-impairing effects for 8 seconds.
• Lay on Hands heals a friendly target for an amount equal to your maximum Health.
• Word of Glory can also be used as a heal if necessary, but as it costs Holy Power, you will lose a significant amount of damage if you cast it too frequently.

Blinding Light is our only AoE stop that will deal with the orbs. You can use single-target CC and interrupts like Hammer of Justice and Rebuke if necessary too.

Just focus down the Void Emissary when it spawns. You will not need to take any different talents for this.

Run around picking orbs up when they spawn. Try to keep a charge of Divine Steed available for this.

Cleanse Toxins and healing abilities like Word of Glory and Lay on Hands can be used to remove this debuff.
