Retribution Pre-Raid and Raid BiS - Updated for ZG Release

[DrearyYew]

It hasn't been 100% confirmed, but if the item patch is coming with AV, yes, the Savage Gladiator Chain will be better than any other options.

No mention of Nightfall-axe as of yet? It's basically a requirement if you wish to raid as retribution.

[DrearyYew]

Only need one Nightfall per raid, give it to an off-tank. There are better damage options than Nightfall since all Nightfall is is a proc that can be applied by anyone.

like the hunters using it and spamming Wingclip on that $hitty server that will remain nameless

or Fury Warriors cheesing Nightfall or Ironfoe procs by spamming Hamstring lol

Im not sure why it isnt but this topic needs to be stickied with the others.

it is an invaluable tool for ret paladins, haters can go get rekt.

I got a question, what is the best enchants to run with? Is haste the way to go, even with 2h build? Will it affect SoC proc?

agility , more crits , more procs , more dps.

Updated to include BiS MC/Ony loot in preparation for BWL.

You'll be oom half way through the fight. If mana wasnt an issue you would still be in the middle of the damage meters.

i'd reserve myself from the list because we will disagree on many items.

anyway there are many options . i'd rather go full paladin sets > offsets . only melee items i would focus are fingers,cloak,neck for agi and hit cap.

Intellect should be treated equal as str (we need both of them at same time on each piece of item we have).
more mana pool = more max ranks abilities spam = spam judge on cd = more dps and more procs .
agility full ench so we can max our crits.

just example of my theory how it suppose to look our retri pve gear : (take a look careful on itemwise)

trinks i'd go for dmf/lbrs (if they exist) and strongest/slowest 2h weap (sulfuras very bis currently) .


The item wise will bring you enormous dps. (remember we are not warriors).

Evidence for the DPS on crappy bugged/nerfed server :

1 target non undead.
