Not calling for a direct pally nerf, not a flame post here. I just want to understand how they are fitting all the burst in a short window. Are abilities off the GCD or something. What is the big poppa pump burst rotation.
Seal Twisting with a Judgement tossed in probably.
It would do you a lot of good to actually rank up from Sergeant and use actual PVP gear
I think avengers shield is tossed in there with something elseā¦ The damage in the hoj stun window is pretty impressive
AS is mostly used as a slow and gap closer. Your major burst comes from a good seal twist + judgement. Crusader Strike and DS both hit decently chunky. Exorcism crits are also beefy.
They have a lot of hard hitting abilities but the only thing off GCD is Judgement.

When you stop averaging less than 100 dps in pvp and dual wielding you will be more competitive against any class ur up against. Iāve killed you numerous times while your on your mount with just a twist and judgeā¦
Ty for the infoā¦
That is the plan after the bug farmā¦ Only been playing for about a month.
Post on your sod toon, adds to the immersion.

Seal Twist either Righteousness (for guaranteed damage) or SoC with Martyrdom.
Followed up by Judgement with possible T1 6p, which might judge both active seals; havenāt checked and canāt be arsed to figure out a decent search term criteria.
Finished with Exorcism.
That should be around 3k damage with no crits. With the biggest damage component being Judgement and Exorcism. - Auto attack+Seal 1+ Seal 2 (Twisted)+Judgement+Exo.
If youāre still alive, CS and Hammer of Bonk (Wrath) will finish you off.
If they got prep time, theyāll also have Wings active for this entire thing.
Your best defense is to probably run Holy Protection pots at all time.

This is exactly what I was looking for, tyā¦ Just got into playing sod, have not played pally since wrath.
You know a class needs nerfs when the best defense is to use overpriced consumes.

Nerf shamans and druids. Locks too while your at it
I wonder if theyāre going to create a āGreater Holy Protectionā potion at some point.
I think itās the only school without a āGreaterā version.
I mean, they donāt really need to ācreate itā.
It was just never made available until later (apparently Cata if the comment is right).

We donāt use SoR much but command as itās not so much the seal damage but the Judgement ones you want to amp.
If you go max burst atm as ret you play 6/8 T1 bonus in order to seal stack (you can have 2 seals active for 6 seconds) and 2/8 bonus T2 (+20%damage on judgement).
You basically pre-load your 2 seals and go Crusader strike + auto + X amounts of seal procs betwen Command and Martyrdom + Judgement of both seals. All of that happens in one GCD.
Then itās all up to RNG, if you have Wild Strikes active or run with Hand of Justice to proc more autos etc. It can get pretty nasty if everything procs and crit.

Hmm interesting. Didnāt think about this.
Donāt worry, I gave up retail and started playing SoD yesterday.
Paladins will be nerfed as soon as I hit level 40 or soā¦
Arenāt judgements off the gcd now too? Because reasons.
Thereās only one Judgement ability and yeah itās off GCD like it was in Vanilla.
