Mythic Iskar - Retribution Paladin

having heal this very often in heroic, i definitely understand how difficult it is for healer to top up the raid in the adds phase and managing the mechanics on-time. however for dps, this is a very simple fight and everything can be easily planned & predicted.


Spec: Final Verdict vs Seraphim

seraphim is stronger than final verdict due to our tier 18 set and legendary ring, in both single-target and AOE. the fight simply alternate between single-target and AOE.


DPS Priority

phantasmal > corrupted talonpriest > shadowfel warden > fel raven

our guild is not interested to deal with the mythic mechanics. if we can kill the phantasmal add within 20 seconds, we can skip the new mythic mechanics entirely. to do this, we actually tank the phantasmal apart from the rest of the adds. we also use our legend ring and have everybody single-target the phantasmal until it is dead before we switch over to the rest of the adds.

corrupted talonpriest is the next priority because he cast the fel bomb. killing this add simplify the passing of eye of anzu between the healers, freeing the raid concentration from having to track of the fel bomb timing.


Trinkets: Empty Drinking Horn & Discordant Chorus

vial of convulsive shadows would be my top choice if we can AOE all the adds together with the legend ring. but my guild prefer to separate the phantasamal and use all our major CD to single-target it down instead. if vial could not be sync with our legend ring & major CD, it is a dps loss as compared to discordant chorus

libram is a bad choice because you will be changing targets very often, around 10+ times in the fight.

discordant chorus is very powerful because half the battle is AOE and fel cleave provides a lot of damage.

unending hunger may potentially be stronger but it hasn't drop for me yet.


Maximize DPS

1st AW = use after first chakram
2nd AW + 1st Ring = during 1st add phase
3rd AW + 2nd Ring + 4th AW = during 2nd add phase
5th AW + 3rd Ring + 6th AW = during 3rd add phase

for the initial pull, build up 5 holy power first and wait for the first chakram to happen before popping avenging wrath and seraphim.

plan the rest of the avenging wrath during the add phase when the dps requirement is at the highest.

be very alert of the tank positioning because there are quite a few times when my light's hammer went to waste due to re-positioning of the adds.
