We are going to use a legendary called
Seasons of Plenty, which says it increases the effectiveness of
Blessing of Summer by 100%. Making it go from 40% chance to do 30% additional damage, to 80% chance to do 60% additional damage, on all your abilities and procs.
It does increase both parts by 100%, but together it is more like a 300% increase of
Blessing of Summer DPS, over 10 seconds.
This makes ret do an insane amount of damage, even more than it already is doing during burst.
This buff feels pretty much like the old Reckoning days, since the Summer proc has no internal cooldown at all. The following can happen within 1 second if you are lucky:
- Judgment
- Blessing of Summer proc
- Templar's Verdict
- Blessing of Summer proc
- Sanctified Wrath
- Blessing of Summer proc
- Virtuous Command
- Blessing of Summer proc
- Templar's Verdict proc (conduit)
- Blessing of Summer proc
- Melee hit
- Blessing of Summer proc
- Virtuous Command (from melee hit)
- Blessing of Summer proc
- Zeal (talent)
- Blessing of Summer proc
This is 16 sources of damage... It is truly insane! Perhaps you can add in a trinket or something similar for even more devastating effects (or perhaps the
Aura of Reckoning PvP talent, but it is overkill).
We are also going to use a trick with
Judgment to make it appear like it is cast one global after you press it, the trick is to turn into a toad with
Magic Pet Mirror (special thanks to Aegis for helping me out with this in Durotar, since I don't have the pet mirror myself). This happens because of an animation bug in toad form (there are most likely similar cases with other transforms).
Another thing we are going to do, to make this combo even more devastating is to change our legendaries.
Seasons of Plenty will remain on your active blessing even if you unequip the legendary before the
Equinox procs (the 100% bonus). This gives you 10 seconds to stack up another legendary, the
Vanguard's Momentum, for a 12% holy damage bonus.
This legendary will also remain if you unequip it. This allows you to finally change into
Final Verdict, which does 15% more damage than a normal
Templar's Verdict.
In an arena, you won't be able to change gear to stack up the Vanguard's Momentum, but Seasons of Plenty will work at full effectiveness. The clips you see in the video are from skirmishes when me and my friends tested out this insane legendary for hilarious results!
You might want to add in
Final Reckoning if you are going for maximum damage over few globals time. The reason I went for
Sanctified Wrath is to be able to perform the damage in as few globals as possible.
