Chris is away completing his own epic quest, so like those duplicitous
Blood Elves, I'll be stealing the
Light for this week and swinging it around. Since most of the stuff
I write on the site concern the one thing I really like to do --
PvP -- I think I'll
get into character and write about something that some people find taboo... Retribution PvP. After writing about a few rules on
healing in PvP, let's indulge ourselves with a little retributive mayhem. Despite being the
most ridiculed spec in the entire game, Retribution can be a lot of fun -- and painful for your opponents -- once you get some fundamentals down pat.
Step one: gear upIf you are at all interested in PvP as a Retribution Paladin, you must get geared up. There are no two ways about this. Unless you have the proper gear, you will simply not perform as well as similarly-geared classes and your PvP experience will be diminished greatly. Retribution is one of the most equipment-dependent specs in the game, and you will feel it in PvP. Chris has written an excellent
starter guide for all aspiring Ret Pallies, which is an excellent read for learning about the perfect Retribution gear. In order to do some PvP, we'll then need to take the next step and go beyond what Chris suggested and aim much higher as far as at least one piece of equipment is concerned -- your weapon.
