II. Brief History

   I am writing this to try to pass on my knowledge to those interesting in playing the Retribution Spec of the Paladin class and to give others a greater understanding of Retribution in General.

  I have played Retribution since May of 2006 when I first started the PvP grind on my paladin for the Title of Lieutenant Commander. I have achieved 1900+ in all 5 arena seasons in 2v2 and I started really raiding in the beginning of April 2008 with Downfall of Gorgonnash.

 I currently have 2 Level 80 Paladins, both humans on Alliance. Dragonspear of Gorgonnash who is all but retired and Seraphitalia who I now raid on with Downfall.

III. Frequently Asked Questions

   Q. How important is Hit Rating for a Retribution Paladin in PvE?

   A. With the recent changes to Seal of the Martyr/Seal of Blood (Here out referred to as Seal of Emo) hit is the best stack that you can stack on your gear until you cap it.

   Q. Well ok, but how good is expertise then?

   A. Expertise while good, is not worth gemming or enchanting however it is very nice to have on a piece of gear.
