Retribution Paladin PvP Spec 3.2
Ret Pally PvP Spec
Current as of Patch 3.2 and Arena Season 7
Here is the current Retribution Paladin Spec for PvP. Well, this is the best version that works for me. There are a couple other tweaks that may or may not include Divine Sacrifice, it just really depends on what you are doing…whether you are in battlegrounds or 5-man arenas.
I welcome any further discussion, and if there are any other specs that work well, please let me know what they are!

A ret pally with seal of command and WITHOUT seals of the pure? Are you living on Mars or what? Seal of command – absolute useless for pvp. Seals of the pure 5/5 + fanaticism 3/3 + seal of righteousness + glyph of judgement + glyph of seal of righteousness + at least deadly gladiator vindication and your judgements will hit like a trucks. Crits for 7 – 8 k for me. Elementary school of ret pallys. Howgh
100% agree Drakllord!!!
This build lack lot of thinks for pvp even for 2 dps setup or healer+dps combo. maybe the new command will work good in 3vs3 or 5vs5 but for 2vs2 Drakllord is 100% right.
the 0/20/51 pvp spec is decent but i agree that seals of the pure is a must. the 0/20/51 spec will work in most situations so long as you have some experience and basic knowledge in arena and battlegrounds. if you do, you should be fairly successful until you reach higher ratings or come across someone with more BG experience than you. i use seal of righteousness for BGs and 2s and command for 3s and 5s.
as far as command goes, i think that its very useful but also sort of situational. having command on in a 3s or 5s match for me just means more chances for my attacks to crit which means more instant FoLs or exorcisms. im am going to run for this season (arena season
and see how it goes.
ret: all the normal things in our ret tree. ill add command like i said for 3s and 5s and now that righteous vengeance does not break repentance it deserves 3 points for those stealthers that make me lol every time.
prot: obviously divine strength… shortening the length of stuns is always nice. definitely worth the points in stoicism and i use freedom all the time so guardians favor will get its points.
holy: make those judgements hurt! SEALS OF THE PURE! also, reducing fears and disorient effects is nice to have when trinkets and freedoms are on cooldown. 2 points in unyielding faith.
glyphs: glyph of seal of righteousness, judgment, and exorcism for majors. might, kings and sense undead for those stupid death knight minions. i think those are considered undead in arena and BGs? correct me if im wrong.
make your changes where you will. one thing i considered was dropping the 3 points in vengeance and putting them in improved righteous fury for the additional 6% damage mitigation but i like being able to see rogues and ferals more. let me know what you think. id like to see what other people are running.
oops, forgot the command…
