Best gear for Retribution Paladins. While a best-in-slot gear list is still in the works, I am now creating a best gear list for Ret Paladins in terms of end-game raiding. I already have lists for pre-raiding, but now we venture to creating a gear list that focuses primarily on raid-earned gear.

Welcome to our Retribution Paladin BiS List, or as we also call it, Top Picks. This is a page where you can find the statistical distribution of gear, talents, and other choices among Top 1% of the best performing Raiders of this class and specialization in World of Warcraft. Big fan of all you've done for the paladin community. A couple questions to spark discussion: 1. I'm trying to decide on the best weapon to use for a SoR+Fiery Plate Gauntlet build; my current options are Draconic Maul, Zin'Rok Destroyer of Worlds, and The Unstoppable Force (all with Lifestealing enchant). Thoughts on which one is best? Welcome to the Paladin Best in Slot list for the Retribution spec in BfA This list is based on the most reliable sources for this Class and Spec. Remember to check back often since opinions often change on the best gear. If you think our Best in Slot list is not correct, you can send us your list and we will check if it is better than ours.

  • This is a Holy/Prot/Ret Paladin Pre-Raid Best in Slot list for The World of Warcraft Burning Crusade expansion. This list will allow you to begin raiding Karazhan if you have an item from this list in every slot.
  • Updated Mythic Battle of Dazar'alor Ret Paladin Quick Tips through High Tinker Mekkatorque. All Charts Updated at 6:04 AM. Added initial Mythic Battle of Dazar'alor Ret Paladin Quick Tips. All Charts Updated at 7:51 PM. Updated Azerite Helmet Trait selection. All Charts Updated for nerfs at 7:46 PM.

Also, this list assumes zero hit rating and zero expertise, to give these two stats their max benefit. Obviously, if you are capped at either stat, then that changes the gear priority, so jump down the list to the appropriate stat priority combinations.

I will be updating this again very soon with the ZG and ZA loot!
