Retribution Paladin PvE best in slot at level
The best gear for a level 30 Paladin in WoW Forever, slot by slot, with stats and sources for every item. Retribution PvE list: A slow two-hander first, then Strength, attack power and hit. Spell power counts too, on melee pieces: Seal of Command, Judgement and Consecration deal Holy damage.
Itemization changed significantly in WoW Forever. We will update these lists as soon as we can better model the stats.
Lists up to date with build 70755 (November 3). Some items are yet to be found, so the lists will keep changing.

What the first item of each slot adds, two rings and the enchants listed counted. Classic had no Undead Paladin, so there are no base stats to add them to.
