Is SoR > SoC with endgear of ICC / RS ?
( if it is, so shall i play with 26exp (w/o SoV glyph?)
SoR is ideal when a target is going to live for a very short amount of time (think of >5-7sec) and you're going to hit it with a Judgment.
SoC will be better for cleave damage when you have multiple targets in melee range.
So question, if you are expertise capped would you still want he glyph of seal of vengeance ? Is there benefit to increasing expertise beyond soft cap? Or should i use something like seal of exorcism instead?

Full bis rets get ~16 expertise from items - glyph is extremely necessary to them as the cap is 26. If you are not even close to bis and get 26 (or more) from items alone, then yes, the glyph is a complete waste.

Any BiS list for 2T9 + 2T10 palaret ?
I know it's suboptimal but I really like the build and though I'd give it a shot
My first guess was head and legs T9 (since for both those pieces T9 and T10 bring the same kind of stats so it doesn't throw off the balance) , then shoulder + torso T10 and agi gloves, but maybe using "big" pieces like head and legs for T9 makes me lose more raw stats than small pieces..
If you don't want to throw your stats out of whack while putting the T9 bonus into what would usually be a normal bis set, then your best options would be helm and chest. You could min/max around hit and expertise changes on the other pieces, but I don't think it's going to make enough of an impact to bother much with.

I've said it, I know it's not optimal but I just really want to give it a shot
And it's honestly not that bad, my 2t9 + 2t10 itemset currently competes with my 4t10 in terms of DPS (I'm around 5k9 gs with both set)
The power will surely shift in favor of 4t10 as my gearscores goes up, but 2t9 is far from trash right now
If I get togc tokens before I get ICC tokens, 2t9 might literally be my most optimal spec in this very moment
Hello.
Ive been checking over and over, I have just one question about the gear. For an Agi Paladin, Oathbinder is a must or can be played at the same lvl with Gloren? Having bracers, 1 ring, cloak and belt as agility items.
Thank you
I have some questions for people who know ret paladin really well, can ret without SM (rest bis) do competitive dps?
Bloodfall HC vs Oathbinder hc?
[Fleshrending Gauntlets] from fester 25 hc (plate hands ) vs [Aldriana's Gloves of Secrecy] rot 25hc (leather hands) vs [Anub'ar Stalker's Gloves] VDW 25 hc (mail hands) ?
What trinkets should i use at bis if i don t want SM? Tiny abom and sts?
and if you don t mind give me a reason why you chose , for each (i want to understand more about the ret paladin)

The dps difference between the two weapons isn't going to put you in a different league of players. Oathbinder is more ideal, of course, but nothing to worry about if you can't manage to get your hands on it.
The difference in your damage with sm compared to oathbinder/gloren is very significant. Rarw estimates it at about 2.1k DPS. If you think you'll be competitive with oath compared to other classes/rets with sm, you're sorely mistaken.
^(All of this is assuming end-game gear of course)
that's still good enough to progress every single WotLK raid, with or without buff, so yes I call that competitive.
You don't play paladin to top the charts anyway so..

Paladins are perfectly capable of topping or being very near the top for a lot of fights in ICC. Keeping a steady 20k in complete BiS isn't exactly difficult so I call bs to this quote in particular. Otherwise I do agree that dps is definitely the only thing paladins are brought for.

and for every normal person the word "competitive" in this context would mean "be able to beat/be on par with others". The answer to that is, without SM, you've no chance in hell to be competitive with warriors, mages, ferals, rogues, dks, other rets with SM at the end-game. SM is just THAT strong for rets.
