    First and foremost get new trinkets Darkmoon Card: Greatness is an upgrade from your Needle Encrusted Scorpion and Nerkumi War Token or Whisper Fang Skull are upgrades for your Deathbringer's Will. Next change your Ashen Band of Endless Might out with the agi one. Then pick up Vengeful Noose because the 40 hit on your belt is just wasting perfectly good itemization points.

    Our tier/trinkets/weapon match Looks good. The exp/hit gem in your chest is kind of odd though

    Looks very raider-ish

    Feel free to laugh at my ret, I like to think my gear is OK considering I don't raid unless the weekly is something quick & easy like sarth :P

    6/10

    Drunklahey, although it pains me to give advice to a HORDE Palladin, we are all here for betterment of the class, so here is my 2 cents...

    1. Your gear is fine for what you are doing, but I would suggest going to ICC rep runs for an easily obtainable upgrade for your ring choice. Even the first lvl of Ashen ring is much better than "The Lady's Promise", although kudos to you for getting that one... when i was trying for it, it never dropped for me!

    2. Your expertise is way too low! We need 26 expertise to hit our cap, and you can solve that problem with your glyph choices. Glyph Seal of Vengeance/Corruption instead of Hammer of Wrath, and you will get 10 expertise, and a major dps upswing. Even with going over the expertise cap by 3 points, Those points are not wasted. You are currently being dodged at a great rate, and are losing critical dps.

    3. Your build has 2 holes in it. First, there is NO reason we should ever put points in Righteous Fury unless you Tank, or do PVP! Second, you did not choose Seal of Command. This Seal is our optimal seal against multiple opponents! The cleave effect of the Seal causes huge chunks of dps! When you have a fight that lasts a long time - ie: boss, or a mini boss with no adds to the fight, you should always use Seal of Vengance/Corruption. It will be optimal against the boss / mini boss since the Stack bonus will provide much more dps against that single target.

    4. Metagem choice. The optimal metagem for us is 21 agi with 3% crit damage. Your Nightmare Tear then will satisfy all the requirements for it, and you can ditch the 2 10 str 15 stamin gems in favor of 2 bold cardinal rubies for 20 str each!

    Hope this helps, Here is my Paladin: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...s&cn=Valliance

    Re: Rate The Ret Paladin Above You

    PRISMATIC GEMS DO NOT GO IN PRISMATIC SOCKETS!!!! Okay. Got that out of my system. Your prismatic belt buckle socket should ALWAYS be a pure Strength gem.

    Here's the hit list:
    -You wasted frost emblems on an absolutely horrible cloak. The horrible cloak you have should have a 10Str/10Crit for the Str bonus.
    -Nightmare Tear would fit nicely in the blue socket in your chest or boots for the 6 Str bonus
    -Gloves socket should have been Str/Crit. The JC gem could be moved to the red socket in your chest.
    - 161 hit rating (4.93%)over the cap and you are still using Mark of Supremacy.

    I kinda feel bad for you because no one told you what to spend your badges on and you probably aren't earning very many each week. That cloak is a big setback because you still need four pieces of T10, the belt (LEATHER!!!), and maybe even Primordial Saronites for Shadow's Edge. If you have a DMC: Greatness, you need to wear it over Mark of Supremacy. If you don't have DMC:G, get one.

    Win7(64)Pro - Intel 3770K @ 4.5GHz - 4x4GB DDR3 G Skill Ripjaws X - XFX Radeon HD 7970 - Samsung EVO 500GB SSD

    My chest and ring make me want to cry... GTFO TOC!!

    The reason I used the gem was to socket for the 8+str bonus.
    If I put a 20str gem in there I'd fall to 25 expertise (under expertise cap).
    It's just 1 expertise but I'm picky like that.

    My gear has changed a lot since I first posted in this thread.

    http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...Ganis&cn=Namuy

    Mainly wondering if I should buy a Herkuml War Token since I can not for the life of me get a DC or a WFS (same with bracers) to drop and actually win it.

    Currently "renting" one, I normally use DM:G

    You may drop to 25 expertise but you'll gain DPS. We aren't rogues or enh shamans and can afford to be under expertise cap and still gem our main DPS stat for a DPS increase.

    Not that I care about rating. but I love how every time I rate someone it's followed by 2-3 posts about how I didn't link my armory. Guess no one takes the time to look at my signature. I suppose I could put it in bolt. Or put flashy Christmas lights around it. Just thought it was funny.
