In continuing my recent theme of Ret Paladin help, I would like to offer the top ten common mistakes Ret Paladins make.  On my forums, several of us Rets helping with giving out advice notice a consistent trend in the errors we see in regards to gearing up.
My hope is …

Gearing your Ret Paladin to raid at level 80 can seem like a daunting task.  You gear is a mixture of blues and greens, and all those Ret Paladins running around Dalaran in their T10 is a quaint reminder of how much work lies ahead of you.  Trust me, I …

Sadly, glyphs for Retribution Paladins aren’t overwhelmingly powerful in PvP, but there are some that are must-haves.  The key to Ret PvP is upfront, burst DPS, and keeping healers off their toes long enough to destroy the other DPS.  Or, if the healers are particularly weak, burning them down before …

Enchants for Retribution Paladins in PvP will not be much different than that of PvE.  The idea is to focus on attack power and crit, possibly hit if necessary. The only exceptions are on the helm and shoulders, where resilience can be used.  I emphasize can, because it is a …

Heirloom gear in Cataclysm will be seeing some changes.  Not sure I’m a huge fan, but at the same time, I understand the logic behind it.  The current heirloom gear in WotLK will NOT be beneficial or useful past level 80.  It will not scale with level 81-85, and will …
