Your helmet and shoulder enchants will be purchasable through PvP content using honor. For your weapon enchants, it is important to have two Two-Handed Weapons as you may want to swap out your weapon depending on the composition you are facing. If your opponent does not have a disarm effect, it’s important to use your Two-Handed Weapon enchanted with Landslide for an immense increase of Attack Power for your character. If you will plan on getting disarmed from classes such as, Shadow Priests, Warriors and Rogues, it’s important to use the Two-Handed Weapon enchanted with Pyrium Weapon Chain to reduce disarm effects by 60% and grants additional Hit.
Any additional enchants can be purchased on the Auction House. Although Ebonsteel Belt Buckle is not technically an enchant, it give you one extra gem slot for minmaxxing secondary stats.
Best Retribution Paladin Gems
Meta Gems: Reverberating Shadowspirit Diamond
Red Gems: Bold Inferno Ruby, or Resplendent Ember Topaz
Blue Gems: Etched Demonseye
Yellow Gems: Mystic Amberjewel
- Meta gem slots use Reverberating Shadowspirit Diamond for more Strength, and to increase the damage your Critical Strikes deal.
- Red gem slots use either Bold Inferno Ruby for more Strength, or Resplendent Ember Topaz for stronger survivability.
- Blue gem slots use Etched Demonseye to increase the amount of Hit needed in our stat prioritization.
- Yellow gem slots use Mystic Amberjewel for more survivability.
If you’re above your Hit Cap, use reforging to additional secondary stats, such as Critical Strike, for increased burst healing and damage. Since Cataclysm Season 9 has small health pools compared to other seasons in Cataclysm, it is preferred to prioritize Critical Strike over Mastery and Haste.
