I like the potential of this. =)
One important suggestion I will make: Go to Hyjal first. Clearing the whole zone (which is quite fast) will be almost enough to reach Revered. This will reward you with: There is nothing else for from this faction once you hit revered, so you can save all your Tabard runs for the other factions. |

RetributionPaladin.com has really good posts for pre raid dps gear. I made a spreadsheet of all the gear I keep with me while playing.

Hi! I have a suggestion for Holy Paladins:
http://bis.vilepickle.com/ It helps a lot to see the best equipment you can get and where.. It´s not 100%, but it's pretty cool. And i like to add.. it was really worth for me doing Archaeology. I got: Good luck to all! |
I like the potential of this. =) Thank you :-) I´ll be adding gemming and enchants soon! |

2/4 piece pvp set should not be overlooked for ret, along with the glove bonus the loss in rating stats vs resil is outweighed by the extra strength.
I really like how the epic cloak's name was censored. Goooooood work Blizzard. |
The JC neck really isn't better then the Justice Point one. WRIST: You are forgetting the Ramkehen epic bracers. LEGS: The Justice point legs are better then The Earthen Ring ones. RINGS: As with the JC neck, the ring is rather sub par. It is also worth adding the Ramkehen ring on this list. The mastery is very good. TRINKETS You are missing A LOT of trinkets that are very good. RELIC: I would add the valor point one to this...but that is just me. |

I would add Blood of Isiset, the two +int JC trinkets, Mandala of Stirring Powers, Gale of Shadows, Heart of Solace, Heroic Rainsong, and Sea Star to possible healing trinkets.

At the current moment, ret paladins must look for anything that doesn't have mastery on it, it will probably change at 4.0.6, but for the moment, all items with crit/haste should be ranked higher than the other crap.
Same goes for expertise/hit, it's all better than mastery. But keep the mastery gear in the bank... you might have to use it soon. Also, |

I somewhat cringe to suggest this, but hammering out 5 wins/week in arenas will give you access to the PvP weapons. It takes about 1 hour per week to do so and it takes 2 weeks for a single hander and 3 weeks for a 2 hander.
The weapons despite being PvP weapons, are still upgrades until raid gear is available for ret and holy. Not so sure about prot. |
