About Our Reviewers

This guide has been reviewed and approved by Fardion, a top Retribution Paladin. You can follow him on Twitter, and you can also reach him on the official Paladin Discord channel if you have any questions about the spec.

1. Gems

You should use Saber's Eye of Strength in one socket, and Quick Dawnlight in all other sockets.

2. Enchants

3. Consumables

Flask of the Countless Armies should be used for raids along with Potion of the Old War as your potion of choice. You should eat Lavish Suramar Feast for the buff to your Strength. (or the cheaper Hearty Feast if you cannot afford the +500 food). Ancient Healing Potion can be used in place of Healthstones.

If you can afford it, you should also use the Legion augment rune: Defiled Augment Rune. Note that it now works in Mythic+ dungeons (it did not used to).
