Interface
Your UI is highly personal preference, so I won’t give any guide on how to set it up. In general, you want to set up something that lets you monitor your abilities, the encounter itself and your team members.
However I will give you some options and some advice.
Weak Auras
- First of all I suggest finding a WA pack for Retribution that you like the most. You can find it on this page on wago.io
- If you really want to you can have my personal WA pack for Ret which is based on N0thing UI
BigWigs / DeadlyBossMods
Raiding isn’t possible without a proper boss mode addon. Most popular decisions are BigWigs and DeadlyBossMods. Such addons not only help you to play encounters the right way, they help you stay alive (and dead players don't do damage), but also help you plan your CDs properly for adds spawn or some damage amp phases.
Method Raid Tools
Method Raid Tools was designed specifically for raiders by raiders. This is a powerful toolkit that has: combat timers, combat resurrections tracker, any type of cooldowns that your raid has and also provides notes. Notes are usually used by raid leaders to make assignments that are needed for every encounter.
Macros
Retribution Paladin don’t have a lot of mandatory macros for PvE, as they’re mostly just mouseover macros to assist your team.
Final Reckoning Cursor Macro
Can save you some time as you don’t need to click your mouse to target the ability on the ground.
