Retribution Paladin BiS Rings

Retribution Paladins Best in Slot Rings

Retribution Paladins Best in Slot Rings is current for Patch 4.2.  The following gear pieces are a ranking of ring gear for Retribution Paladins as of Patch 4.2.  This best in slot list is not a true best in slot list, in that it is not a single item for each gear slot.  Rather, I am ranking these based on several factors.

It is very important you remember when viewing my rankings that I take the following factors into consideration:

• Assume ZERO hit rating
• Assume ZERO expertise rating
• Assume ZERO stat ratings
• Prime Glyphs are set to Templar’s Verdict, Seal of Truth, and Exorcism.
• Rotation Priority is set to: Inq > CS > HoW > Exo > TV > J > HW > Cons
• PvP gear is NOT included
• Tank gear also not included, but it can be used if necessary.
• Stat priority: Str > Hit > Exp > Mast  > Crit > Haste
• Red Gem Slots: +Strength
• Blue Gem Slots: +Strength/+Hit
• Yellow Gem Slots: +Strength/+Mastery

Final Note: These items are ranked on their base stats in terms of DPS.  Hit and Expertise obviously take precedence since getting hit capped and expertise capped are our #1 priorities for gearing up.

Tank rings and PvP rings do rank on this list, but I have left them out since I am trying to focus on pure PvE content, as well as assuming tank ring pieces fall to tanks first.  If you happen upon any of these rings, weigh the strength, hit, expertise, and mastery ratings on them, and see how they contribute towards your own gear.

You will more than likely NOT follow this list.  Why?  Because everyone has different gear combinations, and what may be right for you, may not be right for another.  For instance, if you are both hit and expertise capped, then those pieces on this list fall drastically in terms of importance.  Any hit and expertise above the cap is a wasted stat.

However, this list is here to give you an idea of what you should be looking for in terms of priority.  Hope it helps, and comments are always welcome.
