Notes
  • All Phases: It is worth using
    Braided Eternium Chain
    for its on-use effect. This effect does not stack.
  • Phase 5:
    Hard Khorium Choker
    is your bis neck if you have Jewelcrafting.
  • Phase 1-2: It is strongly advised to go Blacksmithing as a Retribution Paladin. The Swordsmith 2h Sword will stay with you for a long time. If you plan to PvP, you should consider going Hammersmith but your damage will suffer considerably.
  • Phase 1: While
    Mask of the Deceiver
    is bis for Pre-Raid, it will be replaced by the T4 Helm in Karazhan so it's not worth the badges.
