Disclaimer

This page will focus on how a Retribution Paladin can optimize its performance on the raid bosses in the Uldir raid, and not on an actual raid strategy for the bosses. Initially, this page will focus on Heroic mode and lower, however, as more bosses are being killed on Mythic, the guide will also include optimizations for Mythic bosses.

Retribution Paladin in Uldir

Retribution Paladins are looking to be a very strong pick in Uldir, due to their strong burst DPS. This is mainly due to strict DPS checks on certain mechanics. Additionally, there are no fights which Retribution truly struggles with, since none of the fights contain Retribution's main weakness, which is 2-target cleave.
