How to Gear a Ret Paladin in Classic WoW | By Verdict

[@VerdictLovesYou]

Hello everyone, thanks for showing interest in this guide amidst the new hype around wow classic. Please understand that this guide is obsolete and no longer true to the current meta. P.S. I no longer play WoW and most likely will not play Classic Hardcore, I have moved to another game called Black Desert which I make content for on a full-time daily basis

[@damirzlatkic8134]

Awesome video mate! really glad you included AP/Crit ret build. Don't see too many of those on my server.

[@user-vr3de1fh1s]

Very helpful guide, thanks mate

Hey, I play AP crit type and after watching this video several times and agreeing with pretty much everything I wanted to ask you for your opinion on trinkets. (I'm using seal twisting and so haste enchants/trinkets have no value for me) Are on-hit trinkets like DMC Maelstorm good even though they get resists? Is BHB 2% crit worse than HoJ because HoJ is basically 2% for double damage too (which can crit and proc other stuff). Slayer's and Earthstrike? Please let me know what you'd use (and why) if +20% haste was inbuilt. If you're still checking on your videos that is. Have fun streaming :)

Hey, unfortunately I do not play WoW anymore but overall: Nothing beats Scrolls + Kiss of the spider combo for AP Crit. Seal twisting with Sotc+SoC is not possible afaik since I made a video covering it, some changes might've happened, Idk. Overall atm Hybrid ret is best due to SoR + SoC twist and how that translates with enchants/procs (except trinket procs) Thanks for the comment friend!

Hey verdict I know this his a old video but when you’re playing with full 2.5 as ret do you want to use storm gauntlets when you have WB? Would they be considered bis in that scenario?

[@Nick-nz4lb]

Didn’t see your updated comment till now

@@Nick-nz4lb Hey Nick, thanks for watching my WoW stuff so long after I've quite and moved on to another game. Storm Gauntlets are a pre-raid bis only with world buffs so you can have a proper uptime of Vengeance. I would say after BWL/AQ40 Progression you're much better with Flameguards and out absolute bis atm is the Viscidus gloves due to Vanilla Seal Twisting! Thanks once more

[@Nick-nz4lb]

@@VerdictLovesYou ok thanks for the reply even though you stop playing wow! One last question that video you made before TBC pre patch about seal twist with HoR and possibly fiery weapon being better. I know you were theory crafting and all that…. Anyway you would know if it was proven to be better using fiery weapon then crusader?

[@VerdictLovesYou]

@@Nick-nz4lb It ended up not being better as you could keep 100% uptime on Crusader

I was watch the entire guide and i started build a ret paladin. The only thing I can't understand is that everyone tells me to focus on Hit 6% in items and 3% in precision. how is it . At what level is a hit acceptable? how much hit should I have in items if I play with precision3%. I am full 2.5 + i have World destroyer sword + back , wrist, waist , rings ( trinket HoJ and blackwindow breath) , gloves geave me together 6% hit .. so i have 6% hit items and 3% precision so i have 9% .. is that a good way or not ? Please i am rly confiused

[@fmls8266]

You only need 3% on gear + talents (Total 6%) if you are playing human with sword or mace.

I use soulforge and sulfuras and I have the fury of cenarius ring who can give you 132 spell power when you use consecration at a 5% chance on every mob who stay in consecration and at spezialy I use fire plate gauntlets the effect on this gloves can krit my vengeance is constantly activated.

[@haakonglindtvad5489]

fire plate gauntlets does it scale with your attack crit? does the proc on it also help to proc the ring? and how is it to hold the ring proc up when u fight against one target?

[@fekuxjaenisch3208]

Don't scale with meele krit and can't proc the ring only spell krit aktivates in normal classic was this insane with dragonslayer and on one target I use an other ring with much str or spell power.

[@haakonglindtvad5489]

what about seal twisting? you can't do that without avenger set that much

[@haakonglindtvad5489]

I also heard vindication helps proc weapon/trinkets is that true? that might be great if it is on fresh with no debuff limits

[@VerdictLovesYou]

hey man, thanks for asking! this guide was made pre-sealtwisting I believe, however the meta has not changed in that regards, we still use the avengers and AP rets can still rock the crit with a rank 1 SoR+SoC to proc things. Regarding Vindication, that's a myth, all communities tested it

Crusader Over 25 agi on weap?

[@Pablochette98]

If the ret paladin does almost the same damage as a tank, why do you enjoy play it?

[@VerdictLovesYou]

The Ret Dream - that's why. It's the reason for any Ret to play Ret. It's making a path, finding the way though players who push you down, who don't want you to succeed in it. It's about reaching viable, laying the stones for the other Rets to follow.

@Unknown User yea a good ret can outdps bad players. you cant out dps an average player mage though, stop the cap.
