Cataclysm is nearing its fourth month, and I find myself in a different place gameplay-wise than when I started out. World of Warcraft Cataclysm brought a brand new leveling experience and much harder end-game content. That’s about as well as I can sum it up. My opinions on the expansion are mixed, but overall I [...]

Ret Paladin – Gearing to Raid
June 21, 2010 By 27 Comments
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 know the feeling. I give [...]

Yep, it sucks to be a Paladin in VoA. No matter what role you fill, you are destined to get gobsmacked in the mouth for rolling on any given piece of loot. Yep, happened to me tonight. Do I feel bad for winning loot outside of the role I was filling? Absolutely. Do I feel [...]

April 26, 2010 By 26 Comments
Finding Retribution Paladin gear pre-raids can seem like a daunting task. So many emblems to acquire, countless heroic runs, and possibly heaps of gold to spend.

We are well entrenched in Icecrown Citadel now. The Lich King has fallen, in all heroic and normal modes. Some of this Ret Paladin information will be nothing new.
