EU+US Stat Priority for 70 ret Paladin iPvP

Cj88

Legend
Trying to figure out the BiS gear + stats for 70 ret. 95% of the armory is out of date for BFA so trying to build it and figure it out.

Wondering how big of a difference PvP power makes and if it's worth stacking or just I stick to Versa/haste.

looks okey to me but, theres stuff that might be worth a look:

http://www.wowhead.com/item=150497/dreadboots-of-the-legion (has 2 sockets not sure why there not showing)
the scale of sands rep ring (if theres a strenght version i dont even know)

for stats u can always sim yourself to get a rough idea.
i think it will prolly end up smt like this
strenght > crit > haste > vers (myb sneaking in those 10% pvp power)

But im sure people that actually play a ret can correct me there.

with squish need to look at dungeons, at 70 gear gear whether from normal or herioc has the same stats. becuase of blizz's squish. some of the blues have 1-3 more points on some things than the same gear as epics from heriocs. so many old build items that were automatic from cata, mop, wod, are out the window

i had to look at dungeon loot logs flagged herioc.
MGT last boss has good 2 socket boots
Sethekk last boss has a good belt

before i would go thru the hassles of crafted BC items and still stupid mats requirements. especially when http://www.wowhead.com/item=28824/gauntlets-of-martial-perfection are pretty damm close now
 
Yes but I mean as far as PvP is concerned what are the best stats to prioritize on a ret pally & why. Vert/Haste/Crit/PvP Power and in which order are they the best? I dont mind doing the digging finding the pieces of gear that are best just curious as to which stats to stack/focus on
 
10% pvp power (8gems ish)-> str-> vers enchants is probably the way to go. If you really want to max your char out you should take a look at the gems from HC's.
 
Personally i know ill be running the aldor neck over khorium

After more digging and staring at google it almost seems like secondary pvp stats for ret are pretty much equal... I think im going to str > haste > crit > versa > pvp power enchant on cloak
 

looks like you are going for a vers/stam build, some things to consider

3 socket helm
helm of sanctification

SWP muru
gauntlets of the soothed soul

chest, easier to get than dealing with crafted mats
noble judicator's chestguard

waist i would opt for a 2 socket belt for the 3 socket ability, lots of two socket belts available and even more viable

gems - dropped in heriocs, got this list from a player ingame friend, there are others that can drop and are not tradeable. which can make farming these painful, but yet rewarding since they offer a more BIS situation based on your preferred build that con no longer be obtained with JC gems, and no decent split gems from PVP vendor for plate/melee. three of us have been farming these, wowhead covers some, but not accurate on who drops them, we have seen them off various bosses in each herioc which threw us off at first

there is no expert build, everyone depends on what you are setting up for in damage and other factors
-duel king
-BG pugs or premade
-arenas
-survival
-glass cannon
-socketed all one type gem, haste. versa, pvp power, res, stam etc.
