Retribution Paladin Enchants is current for Cataclysm, Patch 4.0, Patch 4.0.6 and Patch 4.1. The Cataclysm enchants are now updated and current for Cataclysm. There are a few kinks to work out, but everything is pretty much straight-forward.
Everyone wants the best possible enchants for their Ret Paladins, so I have the best in slot (BiS) enchant list for each gear slot. I will try to keep this list updated as frequently as possible, but luckily for us, the best enchants are usually cemented in stone, unless a very high level enchant is released in a patch as a raid drop.
Ret Paladin Enchants
- Head: Arcanum of the Wildhammer (Alliance) or Arcanum of the Dragonmaw (Horde) – +60 Strength, +30 Mastery, Revered reputation with Wildhammer or Dragonmaw
- Cloak: Greater Critical Strike – +65 Critical Strike
- Shoulder:Greater Inscription of the Jagged Stone – +50 Strength, +25 Critical Strike, Exalted reputation with Therazane
- Chest: Peerless Stats – +20 Stats
- Bracers:Enchant Bracer – Major Strength – +50 Strength (Greater Assault – +50 Attack Power if Major Strength unavailable)
- Gloves:Mighty Strength – +50 Strength
- Belt:Ebonsteel Belt Buckle – Extra belt gem socket
- Legs: Dragonscale Leg Armor – +190 Attack Power, +55 Critical Strike
- Feet:Greater Assault – +32 Attack Power
- Weapon:Landslide or Avalanche *
*Landslide is the best enchant for Retribution Paladins, but if you cannot afford the mats or enchant, Avalanche is your next best bet.

Ret Paladin Profession Specific Enchants
- Leatherworking:Draconic Embossment – Strength (Wrist) – +130 strength
- Inscription: Lionsmane Inscription (Shoulder) – +130 Strength, +25 Critical Strike
- Tailoring: Swordguard Embroidery – Chance for 1000 Attack Power for 15 seconds

- Engineering: Tazik Shocker (Gloves) – 4320 to 5280 Nature damage at long range, once every 2 minutes.
Bracers and Boots, Attack Power enchants from Wrath?
Yes, because of the value of strength and its equivelant attack power in terms of DPS, both these enchants from Wrath work well for us. Bracers get a +50 strength enchant in Patch 4.0.6, so those will be better than the AP enchant, but if that particular enchant is unavailable, stick with the AP.
I see Paladins still using Beserking on level 85 weapons?
Me too. No clue why. Avalanche isn’t dirt cheap, but it won’t break the bank either…
No Hit or Expertise enchants?
It seems to be the better choice to Reforge for hit or expertise caps, and go with the enchants listed above. Strength and Attack Power (which translates to strength) are just too powerful at this current point in time. The only exception is for boot enchants, where mastery or hit must be chosen. Hit cap first, then Mastery.
Which professions are best for stat buffs?
Right now…Leatherworking, Tailoring, and Enchanting seem to provide the largest bonuses, Leatherworking by far the best. Tailoring is debatable since it is a procced buff. Will have more info when Cataclysm is released.

I think Final Verdict has a little bit more than coolness factor going on. I'm sure if every fight were patchwerk then yes it falls behind other options but I feel like for raiding and dungeoning it has far more use on fights where movement is going to render your damage less than stable for your average joe. There's been 1000's of a times where a tank has just jerked the boss out of range and screwed up my rotation without any warning or fight factor other than the person just had ants in their pants and liked the view better from 3 inches to the left. And then when those factors DO come in having extended range on your finisher is an incalculable aid to damage maintenance.And if there's one thing Ret is going to be struggling on as usual, it's movement. Its that one extra half a second to adjust and move yourself over with the tank while not dropping your rotation. Final verdict did more for dps maintenance in WoD than I think anyone gave it credit for. Those of you in the top 1% of raiding you need to move on and ignore this post I understand you have a symbiotic mind link with your tank, but most of us don't. Those in the lower echelons, please don't discount final verdict as a crutch. It's an extremely versatile crutch.

I can't wait (hopefully) until we can equip a total of two legendary items. The Mad Paragon + Vanguard's Momentum would be incredible.Comment by wowgamer59
I went to see if there was a place in the forums to post this comment but it crosses forums to I'll make a quick comment here and since I've not commented on Wowhead before someone can let me know if I should have done this differently.So, while part of my comment is specific to ret pally, it has some roots going back to these various web sites.
I was trying to find out what are the best legendaries for ret pally so thanks for that but unfortunate to find out that the one I already got from a world boss is the one at the bottom of the list. I was hoping to use it just to finish the Final Pieces quest so to my dismay that it's probably not worth it. I look to see what it takes to get the Mad Paragon. Oh, you have to do the Quest the Great Vault. Are you kidding me?
And that is my more general rant against WoW and a lot of the websites. Not all of us are interested in M+ runs or raiding. And a lot of the websites are focused on that. What about us regular joes that just want to play an interesting game and can't give the time soak of raiding and so forth.
And so if someone asks why do I care about legendaries then, well, I guess don't but Blizz gives me quests to go into Torghast to do, like rescue people and like this Final Quest. So, to finish the quest I need to make one (haven't seen any for sale on AH yet, or the missives) put to spend all of this time in Torghast to make something for nothing.....?
To be clear, those that like to run M+ and raids (harder content) should get better gear for their efforts. I'm not expecting their levels of rewards (which I hear are pretty lame in SL) but why make me make legendaries for nothing then? To try and sell on AH for money? If one has limited time to play, sure don't want to spend all the time in Torghast that is required. That is just boring content, much like the daily and WQ.
Why do I bother playing? And have been doing so since late 2004? This is because there are a lot of the aspects of the game I like. And I'll stop there.
Thanks for your time.

Im not really into doing dungeons raids etc at any levelits difficult to be available at the right times and in the past I used to do a lot of raids and dungeons and found a lot of the people involved seem to think WoW is a life and death career and become very anal about almost anything
But I digress
Once again we have to run them to farm various mats with which to make the better gear
but I also quest a lot to farm the damned rep we need despite blizz saying no more rep farming.... i never fell for any of that bull
So to my questions
would someone please tell me if the legendary's are actually going to be better than my 197 queensguard gear?
base items seem to be whatever level shadowghast gear you can make ...I think .....no way of finding out anything in game...
i can make 190 armour on my blacksmith there is a link to a calculator that uses crappy 157 gear ... so im guessing you can use any shadowghast gear
So in regard to my Ret Pally if these legendaries are worth making in what order should I make them?
and if you can level-up the legendaries ..how do you do it?
and for general questing and the necessary dungeon raids and mythic runs which are the best attributes to put on to ret pally legendary gear?
Sorry to ask so much but I'm not finding any good sources of info in game at all.
SO any and all advice would be greatly appreciated
