That's one mean pally
So you want to take prove everyone out there wrong? Want to
prove that Paladins can dish it out as well as they can take it? Well,
you have your work cut out for you, but this guide will walk you
through the basics of playing a Retribution spec'ed Paladin. Since
patch 2.3 Retribution paladins have seen a huge buff in ability,
however most players are still skeptical.
Gear for a Retadin is a very difficult balancing
act. You need
to balance Strength, Stamina, Agility, Intelligence, +Attack Power,
+Crit Chance, +damage and +to hit. If you over emphasize any
one of them you will lose your ability to be effective. For
example if you focus purely on strength and agility and leave your
intelligence alone you will not have enough mana to do anything and
will be unable to do serous damage as soon as your mana runs out.
