Best Retribution Paladin PvP Races
Alliance
Human
If you plan to choose Alliance as your faction for Retribution Paladin in Cataclysm PvP, Human is your best option out of both factions. Will to Survive is used as a trinket players can use instead of using the original PvP trinket purchased from the PvP vendors for Season 9.
Substitute Trinket
Will to Survive as a racial ability has identical effects as the current Season 9 PvP trinket, Vicious Gladiator’s Medallion of Accuracy, which removes your character from any Crowd Control you are in. Having this racial be your substitute PvP trinket offers the opportunity to use multiple PvP On-Use Trinkets, Vicious Gladiator’s Badge of Victory, to provide additional throughout during your burst windows to your enemy targets.
Horde
Tauren
If you plan to choose Horde as your faction for Retribution Paladin in Cataclysm PvP, Tauren is your best option to choose from. War Stomp provides uses when in PvP combat, but isn’t as strong as Human for alliance.
Additional CC
War Stomp‘s ability grants an additional stun that can be paired with paladin CC, such as Hammer of Justice, to provide players additional follow up CC, or can be used as an initial stun. War Stomp also goes through abilities such as Evasion from Rogues, so it can be valuable to use this stun to finish off a target un-expectantly in a short burst window.
HP Increase
Tauren is provided with a passive racial, Endurance, which grants 5% additional stamina. Retribution Paladins are common targets in arena, and can be beneficial for your survivability.
