Hey thanks for making this site, it is a huge help for me in getting better with my pally. I was wondering what good numbers are for someone with an item level of 349. I did Throne of the Four Winds last night and put up 9.2k but I was last out of dps. I follow the rotation and use procs and everything else but I feel like I’m really low.

the only other enchants that really need to be revised towards pvp is the head and the shoulders which can be found at the honor vendors in orgrimar

I have no freaken idea how avalanche is any good , it only casts about 537 nature dmg . means +3% to dps .
I believe that’s crap comparing to berserking which increase AP about 400 , not only increasing your melee dmg but your abilities dmg as well . and since haste is our worst stat – regardless of landslide – I think berserking is still the best enchant for a ret paladin . if any one can convience me about another enchant , pls , us maths .
looking forward to hear your opinions guys . ty

I would like to propose a change to enchants. I believe the 50 mastery to boots to be superior than 32 attack power. using a base estimate of roughly 180mastery =1 point of mastery = 2.1% additional dmg on our 2 highest attacks. Where 1% dmg = 50 dps, and 1dps =12 attack power. These are just rough estimates. but if u enchant 32 attack power, you are getting roughly 2.8 dps more

I am pretty consistant with my top 3 attacks, TV @ 18%, CS @ 15% and hand of light at 15%. now taking only TV+CS=33% of my dmg, so with 50 mastery rating =2.1%/3=0.71% more dmg on those attacks. 33% of 71 % to calculate overall dmg and relate it to the 1%dmg =50dps, u come out with .23% more dmg from 50 mastery rating, and if 1%dmg=50 dps that is roughly 10 dps…giving u 7 dps more than the 32 AP enchant. Those are just rough figures, I think if you sat down and did them properly u would come out with a similar difference.

I agree with shandri… the Synapse Springs now increase the highest of intellect, strength, or agility, meaning me (being a dual ret/holy) can put the tinker on both my gloves and benefit in both specs. I have not tested this to the point of figuring out the stat increase, and even then, I used the mana gulper on my holy gloves for mana recovery (Mythical Mana Potions are retardedly expensive).

Also, shandri, me being a devout engineer since my humble vanilla beginnings, they are called TINKERS. Engineers don’t sprinkle magic fairy dust to make their gear do wonderful things.

Engineers have a ‘new’ glove enchant which grants 480 to agi/str/intell dependant on class. I think its 480 btw not sure on number and servers down atm, but it will b better than the nature shock thingy. Also on barcers i have gone for mastery enchant rather than assault as strength enchant is way to pricey for me lol. Same for feet aswell. My reasonin behind it tho was i didnt want old wotlk enchants on my new shiny cata gear lol. Also will your BiS list change now stat prio has changed?

Here is the breakdown using Redcape’s numbers from EJ.

Strength 232
Mastery 99

32 AP –> 232 x 16 = 3712 DPS
50 Mast –> 99 x 50 = 4950 DPS

Mastery wins!
