notoriousthf said:You're dependent on the weapon for hit rating, and it's a bad weapon.
There's different ways of getting hit cap.
Your shoulders (+4), Bracers of the most trusted (+3) cobrahn's grasp (+4), and argas ring (5str,4stam), with another ring of your choice.
Your shoulders (+4), cobrahn's grasp (+4), demon's band (+2), with wrist and ring of choice.
Require faction change:
Your shoulders (+4), Sparkmetal bracers (+2), demon's band (+2) and bravo company signet (+3 hit), with Earthbound girdle of soldier as belt.

With shoulder Boa:
Sparkmetal bracers (+2), demon's band (+2) and bravo company signet (+3 hit), cobrahn's grasp (+4) with valor Boa.
Bracers of the most trusted (+3) cobrahn's grasp (+4), bravo company signet (+3) with valor boa and ring of choice.
Since you don't use BoAs, Emil's brand is a must. It's an alliance weapon. Otherwise use night reaver.
Try getting one of the two prementioned pants when you can. Use +24 armor enchant, using a lv20+ char.
AGMs are a must. I can tell you by experience. Once you get one, switch the enchant on chest to greater stats.
Prolly 15 agi on gloves for the crit boost.
Also, get skinning for 2nd profession.

notoriousthf said:In the meantime, add a +16 armor patch to your pants, use earthbound girdle of the soldier for more crit, and change enchant on gloves to +15 agi.
I also recommend getting an argas ring over solid bronze ring.
If you get your hands on foreman leggings or goblin mail leggings, patch a +24 on it and you have your BiS pants.
The blade you have will have to do until you get night reaver, boa, or faction change to alliance.
You can go with either of the first two hit cap choices once you get boa 2h or night reaver.
I'd go with either of the second two choices if you decide to faction change.
Grabco said:DO NOT CHANGE +7str for +15 agi on gloves. If anything get two pairs and have both enchants, +10 haste could also be on a 3rd pair of gloves for better dps. +7str is the best choice because of the way spellpower scales with +str. overall some good advice for non-boa twinks here. I don't think silverlanes is a good ring get the +7str ring.
MARCO said:I agree 100% with 7 str over 15 agi, but the choice between silverlaine's family seal and band of foul strength is tougher. Looking at the gear he has available to him, he will have a hard time accumulating a sufficient HP pool. Until he finishes getting AGM, I think 5 str 3 stam would be more beneficial than 7 str.
Subpar said:So Ive been playing my pally a lot over the past month-ish. Ive tried all 3 specs extensively, and EVERY time Ive had more survivability and gotten easier kills as Prot rather than Ret. Ret got some hilarious random 1200+ Templar Verdict crits, but it wasnt consistent enough to make it worth it imo. Prot on the other hand wrecks shop, I can consistently get ~10 kills per death, with like 500+ Avengers Shield crits.
So my question is, why? Am I just horrible when it comes to playing ret? Or is this everyones experience. I think I must just be playing it wrong
Holycow said:I only need one more trinket for the arena trinket and im going to get that later today, So get the band of foul strength or Silverlaines?
