Retribution Paladin Glyphs

Retribution Paladin Glyphs are current as of Patch 5.4 (Siege of Orgrimmar). The entire Glyph system has been revamped, with many new and many altered Retribution Paladin Glyphs.  Let’s go over some of the new changes: There are now 2 Minor Glyph sockets, 3 Major Glyph sockets, and Prime Glyphs has been removed. Many glyphs […]

What To Expect From The Retribution Paladin Patch 5.4

There are no doubts that the Retribution Paladin is the best and most balanced warrior in the World of Warcraft. The ability to successfully maneuver a two handed weapon and the durable armor make it the most appropriate character for an avid player. Plus, it relies on mana as a main resource too, whether it […]

Ret Paladin – Cata Beta Build 13277

Another Cataclysm Beta build is being deployed and it seems we get another nerf.  We must be packing one hell of a punch at level 85, because with Crusader Strike dropping from 150% to 115% weapon damage, and now this latest decrease to Seal of Truth, it would seem Blizzard is trying to tone down […]

Cataclysm Beta – Build 13241

The Divine Storm changes Blizzard hinted at are now live on the Beta servers.  Divine Storm no longer costs Holy Power, but mana instead.  It will share a cooldown with Crusader Strike, and will also be affected by Haste as well. It looks as if we will definitely have to choose between Crusader Strike and […]

Ret Soloing Magister’s Terrace 4.0.1

I have had a few comments wanting an update on soloing Burning Crusade dungeons.  Magister’s Terrace is by far the most popular for all the extra goodies hidden inside, and that’s where I started.  I already have a page dedicated to soloing Magister’s Terrace, for both normal and Heroic versions. Harder or Easier? Easier, by […]

Divine Storm Change Incoming?

A bit of optimism is here for Divine Storm enthusiasts (which I think most of us are…at least pre Patch 4.0.1).  Divine Storm currently uses Holy power instead of mana, and can really only be used at 3 Holy Power in order to be effective.  In AoE situations, Divine Storm cannot be used nearly as […]

Expertise Cap Confirmed By Blizz

The Expertise Cap for Retribution Paladins did indeed change with Patch 4.0.1.  Ghostcrawler said it was an unintentional change, and the Expertise Cap should be back to 26 at level 85.  For now, it seems we only need 23 Expertise to reach the Expertise Cap! [Source] Ghostcrawler: Due to recalibrating expertise for Cataclysm, level 80-83 […]

Ret Paladins – Cata Beta Build 13221

Cataclysm Beta build 13221 is live on servers, and has brought about some more changes for our beloved Retribution Paladins.  At first, looking at the notes, I was about to /facepalm, thinking Blizz was backtracking on our recent buffs.  The more I looked at it however, the more I realized they are just doing some […]

Retribution Leveling Pre-Cataclysm

Have you decided to level a Ret Paladin before Cataclysm launches?  I did.  I figured making another Retribution Paladin would get me used to the 4.0.1 changes before Cataclysm went live.  I am not regretting it one bit. This time around I opted for a Dwarf Paladin, with Herbalism and Inscription as my professions.  If […]
