  1. 0:00Things have changed a fair bit heading
  2. 0:02into season 2 for retribution paladin.
  3. 0:05So, if you want to learn how to play
  4. 0:06retribution, guess what? You're in the
  5. 0:08right place.
  6. 0:10So, today [music] we're going to cover
  7. 0:12talent builds, spell priorities, and
  8. 0:14decision-making that really [music]
  9. 0:15matters if you want to put up big
  10. 0:17numbers and contribute meaningfully to
  11. 0:19your raid. We're even going [music] to
  12. 0:21cover some cool stuff like optimal bonus
  13. 0:23roll pathing, too,
  14. 0:24and all the changes that really come
  15. 0:26with the patch.
  16. 0:28But, let's briefly touch on Blizzard's
  17. 0:29new philosophy and some of the class
  18. 0:31changes before we get into things like
  19. 0:33talents and rotation. So, what changed?
  20. 0:36In 12.1, almost all DPS classes have had
  21. 0:40their cooldowns and damage profiles
  22. 0:42changed.
  23. 0:43Damage has been [music] shifted out of
  24. 0:45cooldowns like Avenging Wrath and moved
  25. 0:47into regular rotational abilities.
  26. 0:50It's probably a healthy change for the
  27. 0:51game overall,
  28. 0:53>> [music]
  29. 0:53>> but for red at least, it has a pretty
  30. 0:55limited impact.
  31. 0:56Speaking of healthy changes, [music]
  32. 0:58we're also now less reliant on having
  33. 1:00the Skyfury buff, so you won't always
  34. 1:02have to have a shaman in the group.
  35. 1:05When taking [music] crusading strikes,
  36. 1:06we now no longer generate additional
  37. 1:09holy power from that extra auto attack
  38. 1:12from Skyfury. To compensate, [music]
  39. 1:14crusading strikes was buffed 35%
  40. 1:17and honestly, it's a pretty big change.
  41. 1:19We auto attack very quickly.
  42. 1:21This change [music] does force us to
  43. 1:23play crusading strikes in every single
  44. 1:25build we run.
  45. 1:27>> [music]
  46. 1:27>> This does create a better flow of
  47. 1:29incoming holy power
  48. 1:30and it is more consistent with Art of
  49. 1:32War procs.
  50. 1:33I I think it's a pretty good change.
  51. 1:35Speaking of good changes, our apex
  52. 1:38talent now allows Art of War or
  53. 1:40Righteous Cause to stack up to two
  54. 1:42charges.
  55. 1:43This is a massive quality of life change
  56. 1:45for us and puts less of focus on
  57. 1:47immediately using Art of War when
  58. 1:49[music] it happens.
  59. 1:50Moving forward, we should munch less of
  60. 1:53these procs if playing correctly,
  61. 1:54[music] and that's pretty great.
  62. 1:56Templar had some weird changes here
  63. 1:58though.
  64. 1:59>> [music]
  65. 1:59>> Hammer of Light now costs three Holy
  66. 2:01Power, down from five. And it did feel a
  67. 2:04bit odd initially, but with some time
  68. 2:06[music] and practice, it's going to feel
  69. 2:08normal again.
  70. 2:09Uh it's not a huge change, but it is
  71. 2:11something of note.
  72. 2:12And all of the other changes outlined
  73. 2:14here just [music] move damage around
  74. 2:17from our burst windows into our regular
  75. 2:19rotation.
  76. 2:20This is going to make our profile
  77. 2:22slightly more flat,
  78. 2:24but [music] the trade-off is our damage
  79. 2:26will just be slightly higher all of the
  80. 2:28time rather than our burst window. I
  81. 2:30think it's probably a win overall, uh
  82. 2:33but we'll see.
  83. 2:35I do want to address the elephant in the
  84. 2:37room here though.
  85. 2:38On the patch launch,
  86. 2:39>> [music]
  87. 2:40>> Ret is not tuned particularly well.
  88. 2:43We're simming right around 200k,
  89. 2:45>> [music]
  90. 2:46>> and that is substantially behind other
  91. 2:47classes. And quite frankly, Ret
  92. 2:49desperately needs a buff.
  93. 2:51As with previous seasons, Blizzard is
  94. 2:53going to do tuning. Maybe some as early
  95. 2:56as Friday, and it's going to ideally get
  96. 2:58us in a more competitive spot. So, it's
  97. 3:01not time to panic. Changes [music] will
  98. 3:03come, but right now, you might be a
  99. 3:05little bit lower than you're going to
  100. 3:06end up being. Before we dive in further
  101. 3:08though, I do want to have one reminder
  102. 3:10here. The content of this guide is
  103. 3:12subject [music] to change. Blizzard
  104. 3:14nerfs and buffs things all the time, and
  105. 3:16new things get discovered. So, do keep
  106. 3:18an eye out on this specific channel for
  107. 3:20future updates, and don't forget to look
  108. 3:22at your written guide resources like
  109. 3:23Wowhead or Icy Veins.
  110. 3:25And if you haven't already yet, join the
  111. 3:28JessierTV Discord as well as the
  112. 3:30Retribution Paladin Discord linked
  113. 3:31below.
  114. 3:32So, let's lay the groundwork here with
  115. 3:34talents first.
  116. 3:35>> [music]
  117. 3:35>> I think it's a core foundation to build
  118. 3:37on the rest of this guide.
  119. 3:38For better or for worse, Retribution has
  120. 3:41had limited talent choice [music] in
  121. 3:42Midnight. You're going to have a set of
  122. 3:44core talents you're always going to
  123. 3:46pick, and based upon your encounter or
  124. 3:48[music] situation, you're just going to
  125. 3:50swap a few points around. We are playing
  126. 3:52both Templar and Herald of the Sun this
  127. 3:55tier. Templar does [music] better single
  128. 3:57target alongside burst AoE, where Herald
  129. 4:00of the Sun definitely shines [music]
  130. 4:02with sustained AoE. You're You're going
  131. 4:04to play both.
  132. 4:05So, I'd encourage [music] you to check
  133. 4:06out Warcraft Logs for the most
  134. 4:08up-to-date player-driven information
  135. 4:10because things can change week over week
  136. 4:13as people [music] learn and adjust how
  137. 4:15they play fights. But, let's start with
  138. 4:16Templar.
  139. 4:17Here's what the talent tree looks like.
  140. 4:20The orange points here are mostly
  141. 4:21non-negotiable. [music]
  142. 4:23If you're hitting multiple targets or
  143. 4:25are in Mythic Plus, all you'll do is
  144. 4:27you'll swap Heart of the Crusader
  145. 4:28[music] points for the purple icons
  146. 4:30here.
  147. 4:31You'll also want to swap Divine
  148. 4:33Resonance to Quickened Invocation and
  149. 4:35Seal of the Templar to Divine Exaction.
  150. 4:38You can go one step further and swap
  151. 4:40Jurisdiction for Sanctify, but I think
  152. 4:42that trades off a bit too much single
  153. 4:44target. But, we'll have to sort of get a
  154. 4:46feel for it what numbers are going to be
  155. 4:47like in a real environment, [music] not
  156. 4:49just on the PTO.
  157. 4:51Herald of the Sun is similar, but it has
  158. 4:53one thing that's going to be a little
  159. 4:54bit different.
  160. 4:55>> [music]
  161. 4:55>> You're always going to take Tempest of
  162. 4:57the Lightbringer if you have the new
  163. 4:59four-piece.
  164. 5:00Due to how the four-piece interacts with
  165. 5:02Divine Storm and how Herald really leans
  166. 5:04into Divine Storm damage, it's [music]
  167. 5:06going to be worth it to take that node
  168. 5:08on single target. I know it's a little
  169. 5:10bit weird, but it's worth it.
  170. 5:12Similarly, you're going to remove points
  171. 5:14from Heart of the Crusader [music] to
  172. 5:15pick up any of your purple AoE nodes
  173. 5:17here.
  174. 5:18There isn't a ton of choice for us. For
  175. 5:20the majority of our talent selections,
  176. 5:21they're just going to be locked in. We
  177. 5:23will likely swap between Templar and
  178. 5:26Herald of the Sun [music] based on fight
  179. 5:27requirements. And as of current tuning,
  180. 5:30I could see a world where we play Herald
  181. 5:31of the Sun on Lost [music] Explorers and
  182. 5:34Twin Fangs because of the sustained
  183. 5:36two-target nature of the fight. But,
  184. 5:38we'll have to see a little bit closer to
  185. 5:40the end of this week what tuning we
  186. 5:42might get.
  187. 5:44Maybe more fights if the fight design
  188. 5:46synergizes well with the damage profile
  189. 5:48Herald of the Sun brings,
  190. 5:49>> [music]
  191. 5:50>> we'll see soon.
  192. 5:51But, I will note if you somehow luck
  193. 5:53into getting your raid to give you power
  194. 5:55infusion [music] all of the time, Herald
  195. 5:57will definitely be a great option. Power
  196. 5:59infusion scales way better with Herald
  197. 6:02of the Sun than it does for Templar,
  198. 6:03[music]
  199. 6:04and if you play in Herald, you're going
  200. 6:06to want it as much as humanly possible.
  201. 6:08>> [music]
  202. 6:09>> Reality is, it's likely going to go to
  203. 6:11another range DPS.
  204. 6:13If we're buffed by a huge amount, then
  205. 6:15great, [music] maybe you'll be the
  206. 6:16recipient, but we'll see.
  207. 6:18So, let's talk fundamentals.
  208. 6:20The fundamentals for retribution haven't
  209. 6:22really changed much [music] since
  210. 6:23Midnight's launch. The core gameplay
  211. 6:25loop still focuses on building and
  212. 6:27spending Holy Power through use of a
  213. 6:29priority system. [music]
  214. 6:30If you have an ability available that's
  215. 6:32high priority, you're going to want to
  216. 6:34use it and then move on to the next
  217. 6:35logical choice.
  218. 6:37All about building Holy Power and
  219. 6:39spending [music] Holy Power and wasting
  220. 6:41as little as possible.
  221. 6:43Because some of our talent interactions,
  222. 6:45>> [music]
  223. 6:45>> we're usually going to want to spend
  224. 6:47Holy Power really as soon as you're able
  225. 6:49to do so. And here's a quick list why.
  226. 6:52Auto attacks [music] generate Holy
  227. 6:53Power, and by spending at three Holy
  228. 6:55Power, you're going to keep your gains
  229. 6:57consistent. You're never going to munch
  230. 6:58those gains [music] from Crusading
  231. 6:59Strikes.
  232. 7:01Final Verdict can also reset Judgment
  233. 7:03and Hammer of Wrath.
  234. 7:04So, by spending early, you might get
  235. 7:07your generators back faster.
  236. 7:09And then auto attacks can proc Art of
  237. 7:11War, and that's a high priority buff
  238. 7:13that you want to consume [music] very
  239. 7:15quickly, and it generates two Holy
  240. 7:16Power.
  241. 7:18We'll get into more of the details in
  242. 7:19the rotational section.
  243. 7:21In short, we generate a ton of Holy
  244. 7:23Power, so you really want to spend it as
  245. 7:25soon as you can to minimize [music]
  246. 7:26waste.
  247. 7:27It is worth mentioning what our
  248. 7:29two-piece and four-piece are going to do
  249. 7:30this tier, since it's going to impact
  250. 7:32our rotation conversation here.
  251. 7:35The two-piece is going to let Divine
  252. 7:37Purpose proc more frequently and provide
  253. 7:39a pretty good bonus to Holy damage. The
  254. 7:41up [music] time is pretty favorable on
  255. 7:43this set and it does smooth out the
  256. 7:44rotation by having free spenders.
  257. 7:47The four-piece [music] is a bit
  258. 7:48different though. When you consume
  259. 7:50divine purpose, your next alternate
  260. 7:53spender is going to activate divine
  261. 7:54arbiter and get [music] a big burst of
  262. 7:56holy damage.
  263. 7:57So, if you use divine purpose with final
  264. 7:59verdict, you can activate divine arbiter
  265. 8:02with divine [music] storm or hammer of
  266. 8:04light.
  267. 8:05The opposite is true as well.
  268. 8:07If you consume divine purpose with
  269. 8:09[music] divine storm, you'll be able to
  270. 8:10trigger arbiter with hammer of light or
  271. 8:13final verdict.
  272. 8:15It just [music] lets us do a one-two
  273. 8:16combo with every divine purpose.
  274. 8:19There is some nuance to when we do this
  275. 8:21[music] with Templar, but for the most
  276. 8:22part, the logic here is going to be
  277. 8:24similar.
  278. 8:25But, let's talk details. [music]
  279. 8:27I'll have two sections for this, one for
  280. 8:29Templar and the other one for Herald of
  281. 8:31the Sun because they are slightly
  282. 8:32different. Your choice of hero talent
  283. 8:35will [music] impact your spell
  284. 8:36priorities and I'm going to outline them
  285. 8:38here. As I mentioned before, we are
  286. 8:40going to play both hero talents this
  287. 8:42tier, but let's start with [music]
  288. 8:43Templar.
  289. 8:44Starting with the opener, this is going
  290. 8:46to be your launch sequence and it's
  291. 8:48going to be the same every time and it's
  292. 8:49identical to what [music] we did in
  293. 8:51patch 12.0.
  294. 8:52You'll start by applying expurgation
  295. 8:54with blade of justice.
  296. 8:56Follow up with execution sentence.
  297. 8:59Then you'll hit your wake of ashes and
  298. 9:01hammer of light combo.
  299. 9:03And lastly, you'll finish with divine
  300. 9:04toll and that will allow you to enter
  301. 9:06into our normal rotation framework.
  302. 9:09For this normal rotation, you're going
  303. 9:11to want to prioritize using hammer of
  304. 9:13light when available, spending holy
  305. 9:15power when capped, [music]
  306. 9:17using your wake of ashes hammer of light
  307. 9:19combo on cool down, and then you're also
  308. 9:21going to want to keep divine [music]
  309. 9:22toll synced with cool downs where
  310. 9:23applicable. For our main holy power
  311. 9:25generation, we're going to want to rely
  312. 9:27primarily on blade of justice and the
  313. 9:29art of war procs,
  314. 9:30>> [music]
  315. 9:31>> and then we're going to fill down time
  316. 9:32with hammer of wrath and judgment.
  317. 9:34There is some nuance here now that art
  318. 9:36of war and righteous [music] stacked to
  319. 9:37two, but if you're at two stacks and
  320. 9:40less than five Holy Power, you're always
  321. 9:42going to want to send the Blade of
  322. 9:44Justice to [music] prevent munching.
  323. 9:46Otherwise, you're just going to use it
  324. 9:48when it's available.
  325. 9:49Crusading Strikes also gives [music] us
  326. 9:51a constant constant flow of Holy Power,
  327. 9:54so you're going to be spending at a
  328. 9:56pretty frequent rate.
  329. 9:57>> [music]
  330. 9:57>> So, as of recording, our tier set
  331. 10:00four-piece can be ignored when playing
  332. 10:02Templar on single target only. [music]
  333. 10:05Hammer of Light activates the bonus, so
  334. 10:07we don't really have to play around
  335. 10:09[music] it. If this is buffed in the
  336. 10:10coming weeks, we'll likely have to
  337. 10:12change our rotational priority. However,
  338. 10:14[music]
  339. 10:15right now, we don't need to.
  340. 10:17If we are playing Templar in any AoE
  341. 10:19situation, we're [music] still going to
  342. 10:20have to rotate our spenders.
  343. 10:23The rotation is mostly the same, but
  344. 10:26we're going [music] to place a high
  345. 10:27priority on activating Divine Arbiter
  346. 10:29through your alternate spender.
  347. 10:32So, if you're AoEing and you consume a
  348. 10:33Divine Purpose with Divine Storm,
  349. 10:35[music]
  350. 10:36you're going to want to spend your next
  351. 10:37three Holy Power on Templar's Verdict or
  352. 10:40Hammer of Light to activate. It does a
  353. 10:42meaningful contribution to AoE, so you
  354. 10:43don't want [music] to mess that up.
  355. 10:46Herald of the Sun, compared to Templar,
  356. 10:47is mostly the same, but it has two major
  357. 10:50differences.
  358. 10:51The first is Hammer of Wrath is
  359. 10:53prioritized [music]
  360. 10:54during Avenging Wrath to activate Walk
  361. 10:56into Light.
  362. 10:58Walk into Light simply will consume any
  363. 11:00Blade of Justice charges [music] you
  364. 11:01have at the same time you use Hammer of
  365. 11:04Wrath.
  366. 11:04This means more damage.
  367. 11:06And the second thing is Herald will
  368. 11:08always try to activate the Divine
  369. 11:10Arbiter buff. Whether it's single target
  370. 11:12or AoE, you're [music] going to want to
  371. 11:14activate it.
  372. 11:15And Herald has a slightly different
  373. 11:17opener, but it's very slight.
  374. 11:19Instead of having your Wake of Ashes
  375. 11:21Hammer of Light combo, you're just going
  376. 11:23to weave in Final [music] Verdict to
  377. 11:25activate Divine Arbiter.
  378. 11:30For AoE, there's almost going to be no
  379. 11:32difference.
  380. 11:34And for Herald of the Sun, it's the
  381. 11:35single target rotation, but you're using
  382. 11:37Divine Storm [music] instead.
  383. 11:39The key thing to remember here is you're
  384. 11:41alternate spenders when consuming Divine
  385. 11:43Purpose.
  386. 11:44As a related but important note, your
  387. 11:46first Final Verdict and Avenging Wrath
  388. 11:48will also trigger Imperian Legacy, so do
  389. 11:51keep that [music] in mind.
  390. 11:53And at the end of the day, it's really
  391. 11:54about keeping your cooldowns on cooldown
  392. 11:57as much as possible [music] and
  393. 11:58optimizing your 1-minute burst windows.
  394. 12:00If you do that successfully, you'll
  395. 12:02[music] be in a good spot.
  396. 12:04And remember, any Holy Power wasted is
  397. 12:07lost damage. [music] So, try not to
  398. 12:08waste Holy Power.
  399. 12:10So, let's shift gears and talk more
  400. 12:12about character prep and some other
  401. 12:13related topics.
  402. 12:15The first of which is gearing and bonus
  403. 12:17rolls.
  404. 12:18Bonus [music] rolls are back this tier
  405. 12:20and things got a bit weird.
  406. 12:22The best thing you can do right now, for
  407. 12:24the large majority of players, is to
  408. 12:26take a bonus roll from your [music]
  409. 12:27weekly Great Vault every single time,
  410. 12:30with a couple exceptions. This gets you
  411. 12:32guaranteed high-impact [music]
  412. 12:33gear and crest saves. And everyone's
  413. 12:36going to target
  414. 12:37>> [music]
  415. 12:37>> slightly differently based on how
  416. 12:39progressed you are, but the goal is to
  417. 12:41use your coins where you're going to get
  418. 12:43the highest DPS on average. And then
  419. 12:46you're going to want to target some rare
  420. 12:47gear, too.
  421. 12:48So, here are some of the high-priority
  422. 12:50pieces that you're likely going to want
  423. 12:51to pick up.
  424. 12:53Maz'rar, the axe [music] from the Coiled
  425. 12:55Altar, is massive. It's got a great
  426. 12:58can't trip effect, and if you're coining
  427. 13:00it on heroic, it's going to give you one
  428. 13:02out of six [music] mythic gear. So, you
  429. 13:04can spend your crest and upgrade this
  430. 13:06thing and give yourself a best-in-slot
  431. 13:08weapon all the way up until you killed
  432. 13:10Coiled Altar on mythic. For a lot of
  433. 13:13guilds,
  434. 13:14you're only going to kill Coiled Altar
  435. 13:16on mythic once, [music] when you extend.
  436. 13:18So, the goal is get this weapon upgraded
  437. 13:21and you're going to use it for the
  438. 13:22majority of the tier, at least until you
  439. 13:24would coin a version on mythic.
  440. 13:26>> [music]
  441. 13:26>> The second priority item is Soul Gien's
  442. 13:28Guillotine Technique.
  443. 13:30Also from the Coiled Altar, this trinket
  444. 13:33pairs incredibly [music] well with
  445. 13:35Mazeroth.
  446. 13:36You get an additional can trip effect
  447. 13:38and cleaves to a secondary target. Since
  448. 13:41secondary targets are relatively [music]
  449. 13:42present through this entire raid, call
  450. 13:44it ad slop if you want, but there is a
  451. 13:46fair bit of it.
  452. 13:48You're always going [music] to get some
  453. 13:49high value from this trinket, so it's
  454. 13:51well worth targeting.
  455. 13:52The third and fourth options come from
  456. 13:54Ulatek specifically. It's the Acrobane
  457. 13:57Reliquary Neck, which has an additional
  458. 13:59socket and a can trip effect, both
  459. 14:01[music] of which are very strong, but
  460. 14:02not as strong as the trinket or the
  461. 14:04weapon.
  462. 14:05And the legs from Ulatek, the Unbound
  463. 14:07Reign-Cord Legs. Those [music] have a
  464. 14:09nice mastery bonus and are worth picking
  465. 14:11up, but it's not a huge impact.
  466. 14:14I will give a special note to the Heart
  467. 14:16of Ulatek trinket off of Ulatek. It's
  468. 14:18very good, we want [music] it,
  469. 14:21but it's not as good as some of the
  470. 14:23other options here.
  471. 14:24And do keep in mind, you're still going
  472. 14:26to receive loot from your regular raid
  473. 14:28progression.
  474. 14:29And we're going to have coins coming in
  475. 14:31the 12.1.5 [music]
  476. 14:32patch, but your priority, at least for
  477. 14:34now, is to always target [music] the
  478. 14:36gear that will make the most impact and
  479. 14:38is difficult to acquire.
  480. 14:40You're filling out those slots that are
  481. 14:41going to be critical, which are weapons
  482. 14:43[music] and trinkets, because they're
  483. 14:45big contributors to our DPS.
  484. 14:47Weapon being the biggest one.
  485. 14:49And so, as of recording, my plan is
  486. 14:51going to be using my [music] first
  487. 14:53couple of coins on Coiled Altar on
  488. 14:55heroic. And this will guarantee my
  489. 14:58[music] best mythic weapon and trinket.
  490. 15:00The other pieces on that loot table are
  491. 15:02still [music] good since you'll get them
  492. 15:03at a one out of six myth track, but
  493. 15:05you're not going to get a crest thing
  494. 15:07with those.
  495. 15:08Really,
  496. 15:09the best possible scenario is you spend
  497. 15:11two coins and both of the coins get you
  498. 15:14Mazeroth and [music] the trinket.
  499. 15:17Otherwise, you might have to wait up to
  500. 15:18five weeks to get what you need,
  501. 15:20>> [music]
  502. 15:20>> but it's worth it. These items are
  503. 15:22really good. The other special thing is
  504. 15:24this is going to allow you to skip
  505. 15:26crafting [music] weapon and to go
  506. 15:28straight into other crafts like the
  507. 15:30lower ring as well when crests [music]
  508. 15:32are available.
  509. 15:33It's going to be a little bit weird this
  510. 15:34tier, but we'll we'll get through it.
  511. 15:36So, let's briefly [music] touch on
  512. 15:37stats. You're going to prioritize
  513. 15:40mastery with haste and crit being about
  514. 15:42equal.
  515. 15:42>> [music]
  516. 15:42>> Verse is still the worst stat for us.
  517. 15:46This is a general rule of thumb, but
  518. 15:47your best bet is going [music] to always
  519. 15:49be to sim your character in Droptimizer
  520. 15:52to see what upgrades are [music] going
  521. 15:53to be the best for you. This is even
  522. 15:55more relevant because the catalyst now
  523. 15:57maintains the stats of an item piece.
  524. 16:00So, if you want to catalyze shoulders
  525. 16:02and they have haste and versatility on
  526. 16:05them and you catalyze them, yes, you get
  527. 16:07the tier set, but you also get the
  528. 16:08stats.
  529. 16:10This just [music] gives us a lot more,
  530. 16:12we'll say, fine-tuning in our stats.
  531. 16:14There are some good items we can pick up
  532. 16:16like the shoulders from Murder Row, the
  533. 16:19gloves [music] from Danath Trollbane,
  534. 16:21and the helm from the first boss in the
  535. 16:23raid. Everything's going to be different
  536. 16:25based on what stats you currently have,
  537. 16:28but using the tools you have available
  538. 16:29will make a big difference.
  539. 16:31Our consumables are going to look
  540. 16:33slightly different this time around.
  541. 16:34[music]
  542. 16:35Yet again, run your character through
  543. 16:36RaidBots and see what's best for you.
  544. 16:39There are situations where you might
  545. 16:40switch your weapon to a mastery enchant,
  546. 16:42gems to [music] the flawless masterful
  547. 16:45peridot, and our potion might end up
  548. 16:47being the potion of recklessness [music]
  549. 16:49instead of Lethal Potential.
  550. 16:51That's all going to change based on what
  551. 16:52gear you have.
  552. 16:54One of the things I will note this tier
  553. 16:55as well is a lot of our damage is coming
  554. 16:58from external [music] sources.
  555. 17:00So, you're looking at things like
  556. 17:01Zul'jin's Technique or [music] the venom
  557. 17:03dot from your weapon and and other
  558. 17:05related things. So, mastery, while it's
  559. 17:08still a really good stat for us, doesn't
  560. 17:10help those other abilities scale. So,
  561. 17:12that's why we're going to see an
  562. 17:13increase in things like haste and crit
  563. 17:15on our gear because [music] haste and
  564. 17:17crit impact other non-retribution
  565. 17:21damage sources. [music]
