For the last two weeks, I have been running a poll to see what new class everyone will be rolling when World of Warcraft: Cataclysm launches. I'll be honest I'm surprised at a few of the results.For the Alliance, by far, it seems we will have a ton of new Worgen. Over 63% of the votes were for a Worgen. Human Hunter was next, followed by Dwarf Shaman and Night Elf Mage, who had only 1 vote

Much, much better ret paladin tier bonuses this time around for us. The Divine Storm 40% chance really is going to be more powerful than it seems. While it doesn't help tremendously in single target fights, it's going to be juiced up for multiple mob encounters.The 10% damage increase to judgements and seals is very nice, too.

It seems with all the many ways to make gold in WoW these days, grinding has become a lost art. I know it is still viable, but my goal was to find a method and pack of mobs that would compete, if not beat, the other methods of gold making.They key to this is having as much up time as possible, meaning no drinking or eating, which I did absolutely none of. Not once did I stop to eat or drink, or

I think my mind is reeling from such a knockout of a patch fix for us! Note the dripping sarcasm. Blizz, you had it so close with Seal of Command! Just let it hit with Divine Storm so we can be completely and utterly dominant!Oh well, a lackluster patch for us. Seal of Command, while slightly improved, does not replace Seal of Righteousness as our main raiding seal. Time to start looking forward

If you are stuck at 10% downloading, don't fret, this happens occasionally, and it usually isn't player-side. For whatever reason, Blizzard's download severs are occasionally funked up when a patch releases, and are offline, sending all of us into mad rampages ;)This WILL resolve itself, so everyone don't get your panties in a wad. Right now, it doesn't look like there is any time estimate on

Retribution Paladin DPS as of patch 3.2 is not where we had hoped it to be. Our burst damage got smacked around, and the 'boost' we were given via Seal of Vengeance has proven it can be viable, just not in every situation. Sitting back and analyzing what it is that we can realistically expect from Blizzard, I realized that our expectations of what DPS for paladins should be, might be too

Coming through the first 40 levels has left me surprised at myself at how quickly I am leveling. Normally, I am a fairly fast leveler, but with the heirloom pieces and their respective experience gain bonuses, it is borderline ridiculous with how fast I am leveling this retribution paladin.If you are teetering on the edge of making a ret paladin, and have some extra tokens or emblems to spend,

Playing as a Retribution Paladin in the PvE world far exceeds my expectations of most other classes. Our burst damage is still top notch, and we can just about nuke any non-dungeon mob in a couple hits. The down time for our class is next to nothing thanks to a couple very efficient and optimal mana and hp regeneration talents and abilities. And we can easily switch roles to healing or tanking if

As I have been leveling up my retribution paladin with full heirloom gear, I have been learning new limits and boundaries to what I can and cannot do. As my 4th Paladin to level, this one is by far going the fastest (with the help of the heirloom gear). But also, I have perfected my rotations, and gear choices are becoming smarter and providing optimal dps results.Leveling DPS RotationsAs you

With the new Argent Tournament daily quests available upon the release of patch 3.2, we now have several more options for some quick gold. And I mean quick. When I first started these, I was amazed at how quickly I was blowing through them, as a ret paladin of course.

As a retribution paladin, your gem choice is going to be quite limited. Really, you should only be gemming for 2 stats.Hit RatingStrengthYou could technically gem for expertise if you wanted as well, but hit and strength are the most important.That said, most gear now has plenty of hit rating on it, so hitting the cap is quite easy. That basically leaves you to gem strength, strength, and more

WoW add-ons are not exactly my favorite thing. Sometimes I feel like they are just too much to keep up with. However, some are vital to gameplay, and even I will admit that. As I play retribution paladins most of the time, my add-ons and mods are very similar. I have compiled a list below, but notice I have no major UI add-ons. I use the vanilla UI.

How many of you out there are already just about numbed to the bone from sheer boredom thanks to the Argent Tournament daily quests? This retribution paladin is raising his hand. But, to get those Champion's Seals, they must be done. The jousting quest on the tourny grounds is easy, as is the killing 15 scourge. Where the 'difficulty' lies, however, is in Chillmaw and the Citadel quests.I

Glyphs in World of Warcraft have become an important part of the game. The major glyphs are considered the essential ones, especially in raiding and PvP. You can have up to 3 major glyphs equipped.Minor glyphs are what I like to consider the cosmetic glyphs, in the sense that most of them are based on user preference, not actual need. Some minor glyphs have major functions, but others are

Blizzard has a brilliant strategy for keeping us hooked. Simple, but brilliant. As I trounce through Ulduar for the umpteenth time, I wonder to myself, why is this place not old yet? As I skim the snowy surface of Storm Peaks, searching for the abundant Icethorn and Lichbloom, I am curious as to why I am not bored out of my mind from flying repetitive circles over the same, ice covered mountains.

Updated for patch 3.2 Nothing has really changed. Most gear will get you hit capped very quickly, so you want strength, strength, and more strength.Retribution Paladins rely on strength as their main stat, and it has been that way for a very ong time. This list is what is considered optimal, but keep in mind that every person has different gear, so you may need to make some small adjustments

In World of Warcraft, you are given the option to start the game by selecting the race and class of the character you would like to play with. My first toon I ever created was a Paladin, and my last toon was a Paladin as well. They are one of the easiest classes to play and level with.
