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- Polearms are no longer valid options at equal damage levels, since all currently available have Agility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.
