Retribution Paladins Seals is current for Patch 4.0.6 and Patch 4.1. One of the most common questions I get is, “What Seal is best for a Retribution Paladin?” While the answer is engraved in my brain, I realize that the way our seals have fluctuated in the past makes this a hard thing to keep track [...]
Why Haste is our Worst Stat
February 11, 2011 By 17 Comments
For Retribution Paladins in Patch 4.0.6, Haste is now our lowest ranked stat. This is a tricky and complicated topic to cover, so I will try to simplify it as much as possible, because it’s not easy to see past the apparent benefit of haste to get to the truth of why Mastery and Critical [...]

February 1, 2011 By 11 Comments
Most of you probably already know this, but Patch 4.0.6 is NOT today. Looks like it will go live next week. Honestly, that’s okay with me, because I have a bigger fish to fry at the moment. I am currently working on switching themes for this website, and I hope to have the framework coded [...]

Khor checking in. Sitting at my desk at work, with a blank sheet of paper in front of me. I have scribbled a title in pencil, “Ret Topics!!!”. Under that, endless white paper. Until Patch 4.0.6 goes live, I feel like I am kind of twiddling my thumbs, whistling and watching the clock as time [...]

I am leaning towards agreeing that many Rets are underperforming, and I am going to use my own experiences to give [...]
