Ret Best In Slot
May 24, 2021 List of Best in Slot (BiS) gear from Karazhan, Gruul's Lair and Magtheridon's Lair for Retribution Paladin DPS in Burning Crusade Classic, including optimal armor, trinkets, weapon, and gems. Contains gear sourced from raid, dungeons, early PvP grinding, professions, BoE World Drops, and reputations. Retribution is the most common leveling spec, so we have created this guide with the best leveling builds and advice. In Classic WoW, the most recommended leveling spec for Paladins is Retribution since it is the only Paladin talent tree focused purely on dealing damage. Aug 10, 2021 Best Retribution Paladin Legendaries for Raiding For Kyrian, the best Legendary for raid is Divine Resonance. For other covenants, Retribution has a few Legendaries that it wants to perform optimally in raids: For pure single target, the best Legendary is usually Final Verdict. For pure AoE, the best Legendary is Tempest of the Lightbringer.
Retribution Paladin Enchants is current for Cataclysm, Patch 4.0, Patch 4.0.6 and Patch 4.1. The Cataclysm enchants are now updated and current for Cataclysm. There are a few kinks to work out, but everything is pretty much straight-forward.
Everyone wants the best possible enchants for their Ret Paladins, so I have the best in slot (BiS) enchant list for each gear slot. I will try to keep this list updated as frequently as possible, but luckily for us, the best enchants are usually cemented in stone, unless a very high level enchant is released in a patch as a raid drop.
Ret Paladin Enchants
- Head: Arcanum of the Wildhammer (Alliance) or Arcanum of the Dragonmaw (Horde) – +60 Strength, +30 Mastery, Revered reputation with Wildhammer or Dragonmaw
- Cloak: Greater Critical Strike – +65 Critical Strike

*Landslide is the best enchant for Retribution Paladins, but if you cannot afford the mats or enchant, Avalanche is your next best bet.

- Engineering: Tazik Shocker (Gloves) – 4320 to 5280 Nature damage at long range, once every 2 minutes.
Bracers and Boots, Attack Power enchants from Wrath?
Yes, because of the value of strength and its equivelant attack power in terms of DPS, both these enchants from Wrath work well for us. Bracers get a +50 strength enchant in Patch 4.0.6, so those will be better than the AP enchant, but if that particular enchant is unavailable, stick with the AP.
I see Paladins still using Beserking on level 85 weapons?
Me too. No clue why. Avalanche isn’t dirt cheap, but it won’t break the bank either…
No Hit or Expertise enchants?
It seems to be the better choice to Reforge for hit or expertise caps, and go with the enchants listed above. Strength and Attack Power (which translates to strength) are just too powerful at this current point in time. The only exception is for boot enchants, where mastery or hit must be chosen. Hit cap first, then Mastery.
Ret Paladin Best In Slot Azerite Traits
Which professions are best for stat buffs?
Paladin Best In Slot Legion
Right now…Leatherworking, Tailoring, and Enchanting seem to provide the largest bonuses, Leatherworking by far the best. Tailoring is debatable since it is a procced buff. Will have more info when Cataclysm is released.
