    Help me decide which trinkets

    I know ArP is not great for paladins. But I'm wondering what my best setup is for my 2 trinkets. I have Mirror of Truth, Fury of the Five Flights, and Grim Toll. I'm hit capped with any combo, so I'm really just looking at the ArP on Grim Toll. I also know that FotFF isn't a great trinket for Ulduar. And if I don't have Mirror equipped I drop slightly below 30% crit, 29.75%.

    What 2 trinkets do you guys think I should use to have optimal dps in pve? My armory is not updated to my raid gear, but it shouldn't really matter as I have sort of explained my predicament.

    Edit: All numbers are non-raid buffed.

    Mirror//FotFF if you're hit capped w/o grim toll.

    ArP only affects CS, DS, and White attacks, the rest of it is holy damage, which means it affects less than half of our attacks, so it really isn't worth it when you can have a 1000AP proc instead, or a passive stack. And yes, your crit seems to be a little low (If you mean raid buffed)

    Re: Help me decide which trinkets

    The reason my questions about ArP come up, is because on WWS my physical swing attacks are my second highest dmg, on boss fights. Though I guess MoT//FotFF still benefits more. My WWS is from using MoT//FotFF.

    Though Seal//White are your highest damage, only buffing part of your damage has less of an effect than getting something that increases damage everywhere.

    For example, +50 dps to white attacks, or +10 to CS,DS,Judge, Exo,Cons,Seal,White, etc.

    Honestly, run Grim Toll and Mirror of Truth. FotFF sucks really bad in Ulduar. I picked it up just to test it and I was really unimpressed with it. Granted you will want to replace Grim Toll ASAP regardless. Pyrite Infuser is simply awesome if you can get your hands on it, Wrathstone is really nice as well, or the trinket from WG is good just for the sake of the Crit.

    didn't think about the WG trinket, which one you talking about though? the Anvil of the Titans or the Discs? i forget which does what, at work atm. I can get either one by winning a WG, i got 22 marks atm.

    why are you all saying fury sucks? the only fight i dont keep it at 20 is yogg, occasionally razorscale since he was nerfed, and mimiron inbetween phases. if hit capped i dont see a trinket better than it. however i do want to replace it with the pyrite of blood of the old god to stay hit capped and move other gear around.

    that said, if you are hit capped or close to it go with fury and mirror, but do yourself a favor and mafe a greatness card and go fury/greatness.

    Re: Help me decide which trinkets

    Why do you say FotFF is not good for ulduar?

    It is still a good trinket in Ulduar. You may need to pay a bit more attention, and be smart in order to keep it up but really, 95% of the time it is not a problem. Sure there are one or two fights where you can switch in another trinket due to movement but for the most part you will have a good trinket in if you keep FotFF.

    Re: Help me decide which trinkets

    Are you hit-capped with any hit gems in your gear?

    If you have hit gems, i would use Grim Toll. Otherwise I'd run the other two.

    I'd rather gem for hit than use a terribad trinket for my hit cap.

    Re: Help me decide which trinkets

    Eurytos, Grim Toll does nothing for retri paladins, the only reason you should take it is if you're not hit capped.
    Don't forget about expertise though ! I've seen a lot of retris not paying much attention to it, when it's one of the most important stats.
    Try and get Mark of Norgannon, the expertise/haste trinket from Malygos, if you can. (and combine it with DMC:G)
