I actively refused to grind for the Grandmarshal Gear in SoD because the Corfeforged 6-piece combined with stamina-weighted cloak, neck, rings and 1 trinket is so much better for damage and mediocre survivability. There is no need for HP when you can just go for CC + Oneshot line-up's. Great Video!

hey mate, what addon are you using to show the enemies health bar?

[@plokoon100]

This is a must

[@ybryfarley9]

If you don’t have the 6 piece set bonus when do you suggest using that twist macro you showed?

[@arkaviun]

the twist macro is always good. without the 6 piece the window to seal twist is much smaller but still possible

[@rawskip8039]

Even if you have all of T2, are you still keeping the T1 6-set? Is it because of the health bonus?

[@arkaviun]

yes

[@bromillio]

Its always interesting to when i watch your pvp that you know exactly your plan going into every fight. I honestly gasp at the damage you put out some video's. HOLY mackerel! pun intended. Question you maybe could answer: how similar of a build could you have in Classic? (not SoD) would most of this build still be considered viable?

[@arkaviun]

completely different build for Era. ret paladin would usually go reckoning build in era

[@Anzatoro]

Very nice video as always mate! But how about ret paladins like me who are leveling now and plan to only play pvp, no raid sets? Should i abandon my plans or continue? I know double judge without raid set is not possible amymore and that was a hit for me, now you saying that the dmg difference from pve to pvp gear is enormous i think i cant take more hits

[@arkaviun]

the build i showed is very gear dependent. you could just use full pvp gear and go the reckoning route. but if you wanted to do the seal twisting build unfortunately, you have to raid

[@craft4166]

How could you call it PVP? It’s sad to see the SOD PVP totally broken

[@sasagrgic8874]

Arkaviun,what are your impressions with pala vs shaman in p5? I still kill most of them,but a good ele shaman is still kinda broken.

[@abrahammendiola4446]

Man been following for a while but you make me so jelly bro 😢 if i had my comp still i would be with you delivering lights Justice on The horde! Very good video an informative I wanted to say if you think you can make a video about other potential specs or other forms of gear that might even go good with your spec other then what you showed in less a must. Even though I know I likely I won't play SoD but anybody else who is a ret main like myself I personally love when somebody puts out ret content whether it's PvP or PvE more when its PvE like gear wise stuff or anything to approve your damage game.

[@vitalypavlov6049]

I need your advice! In R13, I get 1200 more health and 1000 more mana than in 6 parts of T1! But I'm losing damage from 2 seals!

[@dariom17]

same question but i guess for seal twisting you must stay in tier sets

[@fazer215]

@@dariom17 tier sets and if u love hp pop a bottle

[@Kenji-117]

just go for the 6-piece and maybe Marshall 2-piece for bonus stamina and some cloaks/rings/1 trinket/neck that has a lot of stamina

[@philhd3100]

it's nice, but when you don't have time to do pve raids, you have to make do with pvp parts and the set bonus isn't great. I play a bit of the same spec and I switch with the reckoning spec, it’s also super fun

[@rawskip8039]

You're not interested in the PvP set, right? The set bonus isn't that great anyway

[@yevhenmatskevych4876]

why u put talents in holy instead of protection where u get improved stun hammer of justice ?

[@Bassrom]

Because it's a different build ; He choose to go 10% more strengh, for uninterrups while csting/healing for 70% (100% in consec aura Btw) , 12% more healing power on Holy lights and Flashes of life ( divine lights too) , consecration which is ok for certain plays ( like discovering rogues with consec l1) and he goes then for ilumination, which make him more mana efficient when doing crit healing. Going for prot have his stuff and lot of defense stats and stuns but your heals are expensive and don't heal as much ( at least with full ret gear because no int on it). oh and also more damage of seal of martyr or martydoom.

[@kassema9527]

T2 4 set bonus is actually way more dps than t1 6 piece. It also lets you have more of pvp gear while having more dps than t1.

[@Kenji-117]

DPS in PvE yes, but not the ability to sealtwist + sealstack judge (judging with 2x seals) + another GCD which results in the FAR HIGHER Damage Peaks and depending on armor of the enemy target and how often you're critting you can deal enough damage to just one or two-shot enemies. There is no need for "DPS" when the fight is over in 2 seconds.

[@kassema9527]

@@Kenji-117 the problem is that judgement of command doesn’t really do that much damage, and u can still seal twist without stacking, sure u get more gcd but if u don’t one shot then ur dps goes way down. Warriors etc can’t be one shot even with t1 and mages etc can be one shot even with t2 in my experience

[@Ronafca]

Doesn't any1 find it ironic there is 0 battleground gameplay? This is just ganking a bunch of PvE geared mounted players in the open world and a few in BRM.

[@lockesmith3703]

Not ironic. Ret paladin loses half its damage if you don't have the PVE tier set since they removed double judging and the PVP set has dogshit stam. The damage reduction aura combined with the HP bonus in BGs that make it so that everybody not a potato has over 10k hp means that ret pallies cant oneshot without reck and are a wheelchair class otherwise. Basically means Rets are way better outside of BGS and the shamans, boomkins and hunters dominate in bgs. It is what it is.

[@Longtimer49]

@@lockesmith3703 yea instead of 1 shot they just take 80% of your hp, they must be terrible

@@Gotmilk0112 it was 2 phases, 2 and 3 specifically, and it was a different spec each phase, not the same. ret has been consistently bonkers for 4 phases straight, from 1 through 4 and soon to be 5, and they are literally getting to the point where they are super heroes. they are running around one-shotting boomkins, bears and warriors dude. learn to cleanse and you'd have been fine in phase 3. phase 2 i admit enhance was broken and that was promptly fixed in phase 3. you saying shaman was "busted" for "4 phases straight" is just the usual paladin cope take. phase 1 was garbage for shaman. 2 and 3 they were busted. 4 they are falling off, and now in 5 they are straight up bad.
