Divine Illumination is ****ing awesome if you have some crit, as crits will then give back more mana than the original spellcost. And with new patch (+spelldamage from healing) you don't really need that much in retri. I would suggest the following, it's good for PvE + arena + pvp healing. On my pala, farming is pretty nice with seal of righteousness in normal gear, don't go oom fast.

I think that, by the looks of this spec, you are trying to make a Shockadin build. There are key talents that you could review, however.

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/paladin/talents.html?0555300252013023130000000000000000000000000523030032020100000000

I'm mainly specced 0/20/41 Ret, but if I was to go Shockadin, that would be it. Conviction and SoC are useless for a Shockadin build, as you need Spell Damage. With PoJ and Vindication, you will be able to kite easily and reduce stats if someone actually catches you.

Hey can you or someone post the above spec on the forum, work blocks most gaming sites >;+P


Also I want to ask, what is your idea of the perfect Spec for a Ret PVP Paladin? Is Ret the best spec for PVP? I know its mainly opinions but I like to read them, so long its not just, "0MF6 R3T PALL13S ARE T3H BS3T!!!123"

If you can, please use http://wowvault.ign.com/talentcalculator/ for posting specs to me.

Also, for someone who is a solo, like me, what would be the best gear to get? Stats? See, I am not in a large guild that raids anymore since BC came out, I am in a guild of RL friends and they want to keep it just us. And its quite difficult to get in raids as an outsider. So atleast for the PVP Ret spec, what are the key stats and buffs am I looking for?

I was a great Pally pre BC, now quite a bit has changed >;+P So I am kind of relearning my class >;+P
