Single Target
Where this build comes from
Every build this guide sims ran on the same Retribution Paladin profile against Single Target, and none beat the one above by more than the margin of error.
The build that does the most for you depends on your gear, tier set and trinkets, and on the fight. A Best build sim ranks talent builds against your own character.
Only need the talent build?
Sim your highest-DPS talent build on your own gear, for the mode and rotation style you play.
