Tier Sets
Retribution Paladin Season 2 Tier Set Bonus:
- (2) Set Bonus: Your spells and abilities have a chance to activate Winning Streak! Increasing the damage of your Templar’s Verdict and Divine Storm by 2% stacking up 10 times. Spending Holy Power on damaging abilities has a 12% chance to remove Winning Streak!
- (4) Set Bonus: When you lose your Winning Streak! You get the last Holy Power spent back, you cannot lose Holy Power for the next 4 seconds, and the damage of your Holy Power abilities are increased by 10%.
This Tier Set is pretty random and its efficiency depends on when you are able to cast Holy Power spenders for free. If you get this buff during your burst window - it is a win. Any other scenarios are less efficient or even annoying.

Trinkets
We are currently lacking a proper APL for Retribution, however, you can put an eye on these trinkets:
- Eye of Kezan - absolute BiS for every scenario. Huge amount of stats from a single trinket
- House of Cards - good on-use trinket which provides a lot of Mastery
- Improvised Seaforium Pacemaker - Very strong passive trinket
- Signet of the Priory - another good on use trinket if you don't have House of Cards
Embellishments
In season 2 of TWW we 99% want to shift from Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension to more crit from x2 Dawnthread Lining. It is caused by Capital Punisher from Gallywix. However, weapon craft is still a good choice, but chasing the BiS we have to change our crafting priorities to the following:
- If you got lucky with a Myth Track 2-hand weapon or Capital Punisher you should use x2 Dawnthread Lining on armor pieces. You can use them on Cloak, Bracers, Belt or Boots.
- If you did not recieve a Myth Track 2-hand weapon or Capital Punisher then craft a 2-hand weapon like Everforged Greataxe with Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension.
- Then any low item level armor slot (including cloak) at your current situation with Writhing Armor Banding. Ideally it should be Bracers, Belt, Boots or Cloak.
- The rest of your crafts can be used to fill up your gaps in gear item level wise, or stat-wise.
Cyrce's Circlet
The Cyrce's Circlet ring starts with 639 item level and can be upgraded to a maximum item level of 658. There are 3 specific sockets for 3 types of new gems that grant different effects and empowerments to the ring.
The best combination for Retribution Paladin is:
With all of the citrines available, this ring remains BiS compared with Mythic-track rings from Season 2.
