My suggestion is maybe add a little bit of info on prot/holy paladins, I know it’s a ret pally site but many ret pallies have off specs and it could be found usefull.

I absolutely love the site, and I would love to see a full dedication pvp section. The stuff that’s been on here so far is great, but there is always more to say! I would even be willing to help any way I can with that *wink*
(Btw, the name is my mage’s, my pally has an accent in his name =P)

Being an achievement whore myself, it would be nice to see a part of the PvP section that gives tips and whatnot for the achievements for the Battlemaster title. Some are easy, but a lot of them are tough if you don’t know how

One is already mentioned, and that’s PvP. I’d love some good PvP articles, it seems very overlooked. More about Battlegrounds, not really Arena, since Arena’s suck (even Blizzard admits it).
Another idea for a larger article would be to look at the history of the Paladin in WoW from launch in 2004 to Cataclysm in 2010. Paladins have probably changed more than any other class over the years, and Cataclysm seems to be making more huge changes. So an overlook of the history of the WoW Paladin, perhaps even story-wise, with the history of the RTS games, could provide a lot of good material to write about.
Thanks for the great site.

I seem to be following a trend here but I would also love some more information on PvP.
As for what has helped me, well where do i start. I learned of our priority system here, to stack str, make sure im expertise capped. All things that are obvious now, but when I was a fresh 80 this really help put me at the top of the charts where I am to this day.
So thanks Khor for all the information.

Server: Drenden
This one’s going to be a little different, but I would like BiS gear lists for Vanilla and Burning Crusade. There’s next to no information on the topic out there, especially in regards to vanilla gear, since Retribution…really just wasn’t Retribution back then. But still, those of us who like to collect gear want to know what the best of the time was.
Name: Amel
Server: Wyrmrest Accord
The thing that helped me was the PuG Tanking Brutality thing you did, which made me lol due to the fact that I have used this site MANY times for my ret spec, then I picked up Dual Spec and you put up a thing on tankign which is what I DS’d in
Name: Syric
Server: Shadowsong
This website is great! Your guides on gear and gems really helped me to get going once I hit 80.
Name: Sclavius
Server: Nordassil
my suggestion is to make a sister site for Prot or Holy pallys
Name: Artanis
Server: Nazgrel
One thing that really helped me was improve my game skill, such as stats to stack, priority, etc. My server is not the greatest, allowing me to do more DPS than a lot of mages/rogues/hunters with higher gear scores. Your site made me stand out a bit more on my server and give me that extra edge.
One thing that I loved that you had and would like to see more of is some more soloing strategies, and maybe put them in a bit of order, such as attempt to do this instance/old raid first, then try the next one on the list if you completed the one before it fairly well.

I love the leveling guide so far, I’m sure the gear and stats info will be very helpful once I hit 80,
Name: Varnus
Server: Jubei Thos
Have been reading from your site for a month now and I cannot stress how useful it is as a whole because it has improved my rotation and also taught me how to gem and enchant my gear. I must say that I would enjoy PvP tips but as many know Ret paladins are an arena broken class I would prefer guides which would give a valid argument on which would be the best professions to take as a Ret Paladin and why?
Name: Parv
Server: Raganaros
Great site!
For me, the guides from the ret perspective have been great, so adding more guides from the ret side would awesome in my opinion.
Love this sight! Wish there were this many comments on posts that weren’t giving away free things
My suggestion would be to have a more comprehensive BiS list. I know the list has the top two or three pieces, but something a bit longer like down 5 or 6 pieces would be really helpful for when you are gearing up to raid, and have some decent gear but clearly dont have access to Heroic tiny abom.
Keep up the good work, Khor!
Name: Jambien
Server: Bladefist
I would like to see a section that show the top BiS equipement to maximize DPS. I would aslo like to see more on ret PVP and maybe tatics for each individual BG.
You could have like sister sites for Proc and Holy
This site is amazing Ty for the help

ive noticed there are new models for new paladin mounts in the cataclysm beta and it depends on which race you are to which mount you get as a paladin
any more info on this would be nice

first off must give props on the site. i have refered other pallies to this site. i would like to see just a bit more on the pvp/arena aspect of the site. i have used your site to gem and chant my gear. (both dps and pvp. and as someone above a little more depth on the prot/holy specs.
great work, keep it up.

This is the single best class-specific website I’ve ever seen. As a player I usually prefer caster classes, but I have really grown to love my ret pally thanks in large part to this website. I especially found the entry level raiding gear article very helpful.
Keep up the tremendous work!

Awesome site for and a must read for paladins everywhere.Used it for gold making and soloing dungeons/raids.What I would really like to see you add to your site is a more in depth look at playing a paladin. Obviously this would be more for begginer paladins, but showing things like what to expect playing a pally, what mistakes not make and the best way to really begin your pally.
This sight is amazing! I’m going to use the 11/5/55 talent tree, i also agree with the other comments listed above, it would be nice to have a Prot/Holy spec site like this, my off spec is Prot
Server: Sentinels
I just want to say your site is very helpful and has made me enjoy being a retribution class again..with the enchants,gemming,e.t.c. it makes pvp more alive now..i hope that other people come across your site and make something like this for all other classes..so again thank you again for your effort to making this an incredible website for everyone.

Awesome site! Thanks for taking the time to do it. It is a first class site. I see many hae mentioned PVP. It would be cool to maybe have info on how to engage every class and how to beat them as a Ret Pally. Knowing what is more effective again what class can really help.
thanks again!

This site has helped me take my game to the next level and I can’t thank you enough.
I’ve been struggling for ages with the Dual Spec dilemma, Tank or Heal? I’d love to see some Pro’s and Con’s for both especially in how they relate to style of gameplay as well as the more casual gamer (I’m not yet in a Raiding Guild).
Thanks.

I’m new to the site and just starting to get serious about gearing up and raiding. I’ve found information on everything I can think of on your site so far. Even when I think I might have a topic, I search and find what I’m looking for right here.

After playing a Ret Paladin for about a year, I’ve recently switched to Protection. I’d like to see more advice on playing a Prot pally, specifically how to pull mobs, control mobs, manage mana (I seem to lack this skill atm). I’d like to see some specific advice related to the hardest bosses in 5-mans and how to tank them efficiently and effectively.
Also, with Cataclysm just around the corner, I’d like your thoughts on what NOT to focus on with respect to gems, gear, etc if some of the key stats that make up Ret and Prot Paladins are going to change in Cataclysm….I’m thinking of a piece I read where the Agility stat will become less useful for us in Cataclysm. Weapon such as Orc Hunter’s Harpoon might become far less of an upgrade if this is the case and I don’t want to spend Emblems on items that will essentially degrade once Cataclysm hits.
Great site Khor … you have been an invaluable asset to me and many others in our adventures in WoW. THANK YOU!!

I believe you have helped everyone here at this website.
secondly one thing that would be to have a sponsored ventrillo that you could talk to people on for help with pally problems and whatnot since i know it gets tiresome having to respond to each and every post.

I’m happy that I got the chance to say how much this site has helped me in playing my retradin.
I’d love to see a topic where you show us your UI and maybe a little longer list with addons,how they work and how to use them. Would be awesome to see your UI and see how you have layed out your spells and your addon configurations.
Thanks again for this awesome site and keep up the great work Khor!!

I’d love to see some more information on whatever Holy Power is. I know it’s still in Beta (Alpha?). But there’s gotta be some info on it somewhere. Also, you’ve gotta have an offspec, so why not have some prot / holy info on the site, as well?

I believe a detailed professions page would be handy that targets specifically for Ret paladins. Each profession should list the benefits it provides the paladin and more specifically what sort of items/chants/etc should a paladin make/use if they choose that profession.
On EU realm so not applicable for the contest, but just thought to take the chance from this 1M views to say thank you for a great site that hA helped me a lot and still does!
I rolled paladin as my first character in February and now I find myself consistently top-3 dps and top-1 retri (except on -very- rare occasions) on raids no matter gear level.
As a suggestion I would like to read more posts on soloable raids, which posts got me into solo-raiding old world stuff and love it!
Carry on the great work, all the best

While this isn’t specific to Paladins but i would love to see a piece on setting up a space efficient UI for raiding, I’ve been perfecting mine for years now and i think i just got it finally.

Also EU so i’m not here for the prizes.
I came back after a long sabbatical from WoW.
Always played Retri paladin en been doing it again since 3 weeks.
This site helped me so much with getting back in there. The guides for gearing up pre raids are the best out there.
A part of me playing wow and the fun i have with it comes form this site. Work all day i dont have the time to look for the best builds. This site has them all.
I would like to see more about UI and also how to work with it (with images. I’ve gotso many Addons at the moment and i dont feel that i use them at full capacity.
Keep up the good work!
I just want to thank you for the entire site. I’ve used other sites in the past and some of their information has trended towards constant complaints and even features a lot of stuff that is linked on the main page but clearly refers to Burning Crusade stuff and doesn’t even drift into the modern Ret Pally world.
With things being tweeked constantly, it’s just a joy to have an up to the minute account of what to expect and strive for. The contest is awesome, but those of us who noticed it did so because we were coming to this site anyway–I hope.

I too want to thank you for the entire site. When I first came here I thought I knew how to play a pally. Each time I have visited over the past yr I have taken something new back to my game play. I am a better contributor to my guilds success because of this site. Thanks again for your hard work
