FAQ
How is this Retribution Paladin guide made?
It aggregates the live armory profiles of the current top-ranked Retribution Paladin players — ranked by their in-game Mythic+ rating — through the Blizzard Profile API, then shows the gear, talents, stats, enchants, gems and embellishments they actually have equipped. It is observed data from real characters, not a simulation.
Is this the best-in-slot (BiS) gear for Retribution Paladin?
It is the observed best-in-slot: the gear, gems and enchants most-equipped by the highest-rated Paladins right now. Treat it as a strong starting point and still sim your own character for the final call.
What is the difference between the Raid and Mythic+ builds?
RAID shows what top raiders have equipped, M+ shows what top Mythic+ players use, and ALL shows both. They often differ because raiding and Mythic+ reward different talents and stats.
How current is this Retribution Paladin guide?
It reflects WoW Midnight Season 1 (Patch 12.0.x) and only counts current-tier gear. The update time below shows how fresh the underlying armory snapshots are.
Why is my character not listed in the top Paladins?
We only sample the current top players by Mythic+ rating. Low rating, inactivity, frequent spec changes, or off-tier gear will keep a character out of the list.
Data sourced from the Blizzard Profile API,
aggregated from the top-ranked Paladins — sourced from leading raid-guild rosters and the highest in-game Mythic+ ratings.
This shows the gear, talents and stats those players actually have equipped — observed from live armories, not a simulation.
Sample sizes are shown per build — interpret accordingly.
