Retribution Paladin Reforging
Retribution Paladin Reforging is updated for Patch 4.3. Reforging is the ability to take some of an unwanted secondary stat on a piece of gear and turn it into a needed or wanted secondary stat. However, that desired secondary stat can not currently be on the item. Reforging will turn 40% of one stat on an item into another.
Reforging can be done in the major cities, and cost gold to complete. Usually this cost is the vendor cost of the item being adjusted. Retribution Paladins have a specific priority list in terms of reforging
- Hit Rating
- Expertise Rating
- Mastery
- Critical Strike
- Haste
Reforging follows the normal Ret Paladin Stat Priority. Hit and expertise caps automatically come first, and should be reached before anything else. Mastery is the next best DPS stat, followed closely behind by critical strike.
Haste should be an afterthought, and only used if there are no other options. In fact, you should be reforging AWAY from haste if possible, to build up higher DPS stats.
