Does anyone know of a 4.2 Ret BiS list?

Post by Thandion

Coming upto the first VP purchase, and I'm honestly not sure what to buy. I was thinking to get the chest first, then legs, then hands, and then the other bits and bobs, but I'm honestly not sure right now, because I'm not sure if something would be BiS, or whether its something fairly easily replaced by early Firelands stuff.

So basically, as the title suggests, does anyone know of a BiS list for Retribution Paladins which is current to 4.2, but doesn't include the Firelands heroic stuff? I've been using askmrrobot.com, but that confuses me slightly by suggesting that Breastplate of Shifting Visions is the bis chest, yet rating Immolation Battleplate higher!

Thanks in advance :)

Asking "What is BiS?" for set piece is often subjective. Basically what you are seeing in comparing those two items are two things:

- Stat values. Specifically Mastery is more valuable than "more Haste" and Expertise.
- Set pieces have an automatic passive bonus in their 2 piece and 4 piece bonus.

So tools like Ask Mr Robot will always suggest that set parts like Immolation Battleplate is more value based purely due to set bonus + set parts but just on the individual part Shifting Visions is more "powerful".

Don't look at it as "I should get one or the other" but as a yard stick in fact you may want to have both if you can afford it.
