re: Im a ret pally, and i SUCK at dps :'(

that is really bad fps, that could be your problem. I would suggest getting a new computer. you can find gaming computers, if you look around, for 500-600$.
edit: i enjoy looking for computers, so here is a cheap one

until you get a new comp turn your graphics as low as they can go. get rid of every addon that you can afford to in heroics. the only one you might need that i can think of is deadly boss mods.

I'd also suggest a new screen aswell. can get one for $100 easily for a 18.5 widescreen. and i'd suggest, again, saving money from job, or whatever you do to get money. because, a computer from 2001 just wont run WoW decently

Your 80 now... Drop Quest helper and Atlas...

Grab omen and DBM...

For DPS, no pallys don't suck, they are in fact OP.

I'm no pally expert, but I believe you should be stacking strength and attack power. But only once you are hit capped. Which again I'm not sure of the hit cap for pallys.

Hit Cap -> Strength -> Attack Power

That should be your main focus.

Gem your gear also... unsocketed gear is a waste of DPS.
The enchant it, the mats for basic WotLK enchants are cheap and won't set you back to much.

Then do Argent Tournament dailies for extra cash.
And farm ToC normal and heroic for better gear.

That should set you up to DPS.

You should be looking around 2.5k - 3k DPS easily.

and in reply to an earlier post... Ret Pallys are most useful in raids, they provide buffs and decent melee DPS, they aren't sought after, but no class is... if your guild won't let you raid, find a new guild. Or stay and try and prove yourself worthy.

Read this


Utilize every bit of knowledge in there, and find a way to get yourself a better computer. Tigerdirect.ca is a good Canadian PC website to check out.

Hit cap for all melee is 8%

Paladins take Strength over Attack Power. All the time. No AP at all. Mostly due to the 15% boost in talents.

damn it. I need to update my paladin's spec now too.

re: Im a ret pally, and i SUCK at dps :'(

So getting the +85 attack power enchant to my wep was stupid? Hopefully Edge of Ruin drops in H ToC today, then ill enchant it with berserking

So i've come to a conclusion on what i need to do

1.Respec
2.Get Hit Capped
3.Gem my non-gemmed gear
4.Get a New Cpu asap
5. Continue to get new gear

re: Im a ret pally, and i SUCK at dps :'(

From the link Dark Magic gave, which is generally your best bet:

quote
Weapon: Enchant Weapon - Berserking / Enchant 2H Weapon - Massacre / Enchant 2H Weapon - Greater Savagery
But I mean, if you can't get anything else, then yeah, the +85 will do. You kinda have to settle for AP enchants and the like. But don't gem for it or pick pieces of gear with it over strength is all.

Which is probably what he meant now that I look back, so don't mind a thing I said. Just never gem for AP, simple. >.>
