Yes. Link is in the new Ret 3.2 thread initial post. Please use the Filefront link (had problems with FTP to the private server - haven't had time to iron out issue which is purely on my end).

Does not have all the mail and leather from 10/25man Coliseum, expect that in the near future.

Edit: Forgot to mention, for clarity all items are loaded once and I'm using the Alliance-side names for my own purposes. Sorry to all the Belf out there.

I personally like the Titanium Weapon Chain on my weapon. It has some +parry, and well as helps you on a few fights that disarm you. You don't see them as much as you used to, "Maiden in Karazhan", but it is nice just incase. The other chants just don't really do it for me.

Titanium Weapon Chain is 28 hit rating, not parry, so it's basically a cheaper Accuracy, gaining 3 hit rating and the disarm duration (which is of such rare benefit in PvE that it can essentially be ignored) at the expensve of 25 crit rating. Whilst crit isn't exactly the best threat stat out there, 25 crit vs 3 hit clearly lands in the favour of the crit.

Since 3.2, Blade Warding and Blood Draining are both very good enchants. Blade Warding being the more random of the two.
This is because:
Blade Warding: procs considerably more since 3.2, for the same reason that DMC:G procs almost the second it comes off cooldown.
Blood Draining: it is no longer possible for the heal to actually have a higher chance to get you killed due to AD leapfrogging. It now always is effective healing when you need it the most.

quick simple question: I am specced RET. My question is this. If I am the only Paladin in an instance group should I be self buffing Kings or Might?

Might is Superior DPS in a vacuum.

Two scenarios you might want Kings:
1) If there's a survivability issue, swap to Kings for the health benefits.
2) If you have 2+ warriors and one is tanking, you should be giving Warriors Kings. This means the tank doing Commanding and the other Warrior will want to Battle Shout him/herself. Unimproved Battleshout + Kings > Improved Might.

I understand that Sacred Shield does not stack now. As a holy pally if I cast it on our Prot tank and he casts it what happens? My shield will absorb a lot more than his due to my SP so I want mine to be up.

Howdy, long time reader but first time posting(big fan!)

Two simple(I hope) prot questions.

The first, is a mitigation question. More theory then practice, but meh. Assuming my character has 30% Dodge, 25% parry, 10% chance to be missed (65% chance to take no damage), and 37.5% block, I have 102.5% and am unhittable, the only hits I take are blocks, and I only receive damage if they overcome my block value. I understand this (I hope lol), but when happens when my block is high then the defecit of my raw mitigation, aka, I have 30% dodge, 25% parry, 10% miss, and 37.5 block, but lets say I pop holyshield, putting me to 67.5% block. Does this cause me to take MORE blocks because it is the highest percent, more blocks meaning more incomming damage(like on a raid boss, lets say patchwerk)? or is the chance to block always last in the totem poll as it were, making it have no affect after filling the defecit?


The second question is a machanical question, the Shield spike available, that does like 47-67 damage or w/e when stuck. Do these retaliation strikes cause judgement/seals to proc? Ive noticed ret aura procs some trinkets(the chance to do damage on strike ones, like the holy horn quest reward jobber in Zuldrak) and it got me thinking. I was debating about making a 2nd proc talent set, that forgoes major threat generation, and focuses purely on good old self survival, for fights wear threat is a non issue. So I was thinking, if this spike could cause the self healing seal to proc, aswell as the judgement, that tied with divinity, and imp. Devo aura, should be some significant HP returns. Anyone confirm weather this works or not?

Thanks in advance. Tous.

Regarding your first question: have a look at the Attack table on wowwiki.
You'll see that miss, dodge and parry are higher up the list so they will push your excessive block% from the table^^ You won't take more damage by using holy shield but it won't give you any block%. If one has such high values of avoidance and block, you should consider dropping some of the block to get stamina or dropping some points out of redoubt...

As far as I know only melee strikes (auto, cs, ds, hotr and in some cases judgement) will cause your seal and most effekts to procc, sorry about your selfheal set :P

I wouldn't drop redoubt for that reason. I take it for the added block value, not the block chance.

I recently dual specced into holy( I took for the team you could say). Our guild was short on healers. So I have a gear question. I have been reading about stat choices on gear and SP and Haste seem to come most. Are these the most important or do I still need to focus on Hit rating first then work from there?
