Yeah I know there's a thread about the ArPen trinket, and that's part of the problem.
Get ready for a new age of Gearscore related incidents, as apparently the RS items have a very slightly higher iLvl and I suppose GS than the ICC25 reg items. The complaints will be heard 'round the world...
Also, ret paladins all over look upon these items and say it with me: "What the f-"
ArPen necklace... yeah, sticking to my expertise one cause I need it and haven't gotten anything better particularly. Scratch one.
Boots with hit or boots with armor pen (deathwhisper) .... well, seeing as how I have tiny abom and am at about 9% hit, barring losing some from some source, I'm pretty sure the armor pen benefits me more. Scratch two.
Armor pen trinket. Scratch three.
So eh... I know the loot table might not be completely finished, but I'm losing a bit of hope in this.
In before 'gear isn't what matters'. Well, it matters if I want to do the place more than once just to have done it. Currently I'll just go once for the experience and again for the frost badges, if even that. Kind of running out of uses for those too...
Yes, it's a QQ post. Flame me.
TL;DR Hope the loot table isn't done and becomes more ret-friendly.
