Tier Set Discussion:

The Midnight Season 1 Tier Set for Ret Paladin does not have any impact on rotation or gameplay. You’ll still prioritize Blade Of Justice and Art Of War procs regardless of Expurgation already being applied to your target from your spenders.

You should still prioritise the gear you use by running a sim for your character, but the lists below will give you a good idea of what items are considered good for Retribution Paladin, and help you target the right content for each piece of loot.

Trinkets

S Tier trinkets: Resonant Bellowstone - Heart Of Wind

A Tier trinkets: Idol Of The War Loa - Vessel Of Tortured Souls

B Tier trinkets: Kroluk's Warbanner - Latch's Crooked Hook - Sapling Of The Dawnroot - Mark Of Light- Seed Of The Devouring Wild

Most of these trinkets are passive and do not change any gameplay or require any thought to be utilised, with the exceptions of Vessel Of Tortured Souls, Seed Of The Devouring Wild and Latch's Crooked Hook.


Vessel Of Tortured Souls requires you to collect tiny green balls constantly, they’re rather difficult to spot and can be a nuisance to gather. However if you do manage to grab them all, this trinket is a strong contender with the other S tier trinkets.

Seed Of The Devouring Wild has an awkward 90 seconds cooldown, meaning it’ll only line up with every second set of wings, massively lowering the value of this trinket.

Latch's Crooked Hook requires you to position yourself so the on-use effect will hit as many targets as possible.

Embellishments

Recommendations are subject to change and you should sim your character accordingly.

If you’re not lucky enough to get a Myth-track weapon before you’ve received
2x Spark Of Radiance, craft the following:

Otherwise, craft:

  1. Spellbreaker's Girdle with Arcanoweave Lining
  2. Spellbreaker's Bracers with Arcanoweave Lining
