When it comes to Retribution Paladins in Season of Discovery (Phase 1, mind you) it goes without saying that things have been awesome for the class. While I have not raided yet I am still working towards having the best possible gear before entering. And so I decided to put together this list for the best-in-slot gear I am pursuing before entering the new Blackfathom Deeps raid in Classic WoW.
We will first take a look at what is the best possible pure DPS gear you can go with into the new BFD raid instance without taking into consideration PvP items. Then we will check to see what upgrades you could get while also farming the Warsong and Ashenvale rewards. Then, a few easier-to-obtain alternatives.
