Ret paladin hit cap options...

[Earlwing]

So I've been looking at as many armories as I can find, and I've seen quite a few different ways. I don't have a BoA helm on my server yet so I'll be using a LFH for the time being, which puts me at a 4 hit disadvantage. Of all the options, it looks like the best choice for me now would be sparkmetal, bravo signet and 5 hit enchanted to boots, until i can get the helmet. Just wanted to know if this is correct, or if I have a better option.... Thanks in advance!

You are correct. BoA helm, bravo signet, and bracers of the most trusted is generally considered the best option once you have BoA helm though.

 

[Earlwing]

Cool, thanks riv

It is worth asking whether or not you have chausses of westfall though.



If you use foreman's leggings you can also use sparkmetal bracers and dividend leggings to hit cap and replace bravo signet with band of foul strength. This will net you a gain of 3 str at a loss of 4 stam. In both instances you would still use BoA helm though.

 

[Earlwing]

Nah, no chausses for me... I'm starting a new toon. I'm going to assume I should start horde to pick up all my quest gear, right?

 

[Rivfader]

Depends where you want to end up, all the options I suggested require at least one faction change. If you end up draeni keep in mind that they only need 8 rating to cap due to their racial.

I play alliance

And I don't think I'll be a squid, so 10 it is.

Cobrahn's Grasp (6 str, 4 hit rating) brings you to +4.5% hit and gives you minor speed to boots. you lose 5 stam and 5 crit rating.

 

[Earlwing]

I would have minor speed from talents....
