Best Retribution Paladin Enchants

Helmet: Arcanum of Vicious Strength
Shoulders: Greater Inscription of Vicious Strength
Cloak: Greater Critical Strike
Chest: Mighty Resilience
Bracers: Major Strength
Gloves: Mighty Strength
Belt: Ebonsteel Belt Buckle
Legs: Dragonscale Leg Armor
Boots: Precision

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

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.
