Most of the slot has a epic piece that is either crafted Epic Titansteel gear or Exalted Faction Plate piece. <br /><br />Helps that I'm already exalted with all Northrend Faction to collect all the good pieces from Faction as well as from Sons of Hodir the Plate Shoulders. Rest are Heroic epic pieces or Blue and Emblem of Heorism pieces including the Trinket. <br /><br />Have 2 pieces of gear the waist and bracer that are epic leather pieces with great stats vs being plate since the stats were nice on the pieces one from Wymrest Accord and the other a Badge epic Badge piece. Only gear piece thats a bit off is the Libram which is green. But I can use the crit it gives I guess. Libram of Resurgence drops fairly often so be a matter of time pick it up if not next raid. <br /><br />May make a post of the Ret gear if have time to throw one up. Added help is always good.<br /><br />@ Darraxus For Glyph since Im using the Ret spec just for raid utility I've setteled on just using Major Glyphs: Seal of Blood, Exorcism, Judgement.<br /><br />Yeah its also possible that a void fissure killed me from not being able to see it or notice it tanking the 2 big bugs. Will have to be aware of that and watch out for that next time. Thanks for that as well.<br /><br />I can say playing Ret is more fun for me than Playing the DK for me as well.Ardent Defenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13162904795741307697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7079318024484275606.post-22301632677029702662009-04-29T09:42:00.000-04:002009-04-29T09:42:00.000-04:00What probably killed you on KT with the two bugs o...What probably killed you on KT with the two bugs on you was a void zone. They are extremly hard to see when you are tanking two of those big guys.<br /><br />For ret, the best major Glyphs are Consecration, Exorcism, and Judgement.Darraxushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09290390808933294129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7079318024484275606.post-46144720628902154642009-04-29T09:36:00.000-04:002009-04-29T09:36:00.000-04:00I've always raided as a holy paladin, and added re...I've always raided as a holy paladin, and added ret as a second spec for raid utility (and fun).<br /><br />Gearing up the additional set has been interesting. IMO you had as much right to spend DKP on the libram as the holy pally, but I can't know the whole story. But there's a very nice blue libram you can pick up from the Venture Bay marks. Three dailies gives you the ten marks for the Venture Co. Libram of Retribution (very nice).<br /><br />Crafted items are a good place to fill gaps (I picked up Ice Strikers Cloak and the surprisingly good Ring of Scarlet Shadows).<br /><br />Finally there are the new items offered with 3.1. The Argent Tournament has a decent blue belt and there are new pieces that can be purchased with Wintergrasp marks. (I'm looking at the tasty AP trinket.)<br /><br />Different play styles can be fun, gives me more to do with the pally rather than switching to the alt...Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05073274583191509659noreply@blogger.com
