[WotLK] 2.9k+ rated Retri Paladin Guide (video)

[SteelGrip]

Yo yo yo everyone so we finally made it :D our encouragement made Beanman to make a video guide for us:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6Xs3fRemD8

Personally I find it too loooong and almost fell asleep few times :D

But ...

-- he talks about Agi vs Str
-- he talks about trinkets (all except Bauble - which a bit annoyed me :D - cause Bauble deserves a special thought too IMO?)
-- he talks about minimum crit chance for PvP
-- he discusses the new popular 1h reckoning spec that we rediscovered lately

Really looking forward to more videos from him! Especially about 1v1 since he won 1v1 event over 30 times!

Thanks Bean!!

As much as i respect him it is barely a guide. All he does in that video is show and talk about his gear

1h + shield question

Does +spell power weapon benefit more despite lower dps than fast one hander for tanks for example?
MIthrios is 1.6 speed with 264.7 dps but tank-specific stats, its speed allows to make use of reckoning, but still ppl use Bloodsurge or Royal Specter.

What stands behind this choice?

This is just my speculation so correct me if I'm wrong.
More sp from Bloodsurge/Scepter = more judgement damage + a huge boost to fol and sacred shield. I think reckoning's main purpose besides dmg in this spec is to proc art of war more often.

Yo man! I actually wondered myself why not use Wrathful 277 1h for Warriors in Reckoning Build? Seems to make so much more sense? :D IDK. I don't play that build ...

As for regular Retri you definitely want Spell Power for them heals cause you only swittch 1h when going defensive

You basically answered your own question steel. You play reckoning spec for heals from art of war proc. Therefore u want to use SP 1hand. Why would you play reckoning for dps when its worse than pure ret in every way. Reckoning is meme survivability spec
