Retribution Paladin Weapons Pre-Raid is current for Patch 4.0.6. Here are the best Retribution Paladin weapons you can get pre-raid in Cataclysm. The list is in its infant stages, and I need to do some more testing and research…but mainly, I am following stat priorities. This order is not set in stone, and it is highly likely I may come back and change it.
Here are the things to remember when choosing a weapon:
- Slower weapon speed is still better
 - BiS enchant is still being calculated
 - Normal stat priorities apply
 - Polearms are no longer valid options at equal damage levels, since all currently available have Agility
 - Keep an eye on Strength amounts, some actually can differ at level 85
 
Best Retribution Paladins Weapon List Pre-Raid
- [Zin’rohk, Destroyer of Worlds]
 - [Blade of the Fearless]
 - [Foe Reaper]
 - [Sword of the Bottomless Pit]
 - [Forged Elementium Mindcrusher]
 - [Arced War Axe]
 - [Wild Hammer]
 - [Whitefin Axe]
 - [Sorrow’s End]
 - [Oversized Oblique Ogre Obliterator]
 
Slow Weapon Speed is King
For now, I am holding to this. Our philosophy has always been to stick with the weapon with the highest top-end damage, and that usually correlates with slower weapon speeds. Stick to it for now.
