Hi, I would like to ask what do you think about me ( :P ). Have i got enough Haste Rating? Or should I focus on something else like Armor Penetration? Here's my profile - http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet ... m&n=Detroh (http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=The+Maelstrom&n=Detroh). What skill rotations do you use in certain kinds of combat? (against huge groups of mobs, against single targets, etc.) What seals do you use in these kinds of battle? I am looking forward to your answer. Detroh

There is no set haste rating that you need, you just need to get the hit cap which is around 230 including a draenei and the expertise cap which is 26. After those you should try to focus on strength gear. Armor penetration is the worst DPS stat for us, but some items with it can be very good.

You should also only gem for strength, expertise or hit depending on the caps and try to use your prismatic gems in blue/yellow sockets that give a good strength bonus(your helm for instance instead of the one in your belt.)

There is no real rotation, just a priority system that you start with and use when cooldowns clash: CS > HoW > Judgement > DS > Consecrate > Exorcism for single targets, for AoE you should just put DS > Consecrate first.

You should only use Seal of the Martyr, don't even put the other seals on your bars.

All of this information is on the Elitist Jerks forums (http://elitistjerks.com/f76/t53532-3_1_retribution_paladin_thread/), I would recommend you read the ret paladin thread and download one of the DPS spreadsheets (http://elitistjerks.com/f76/t57156-redcapes_ret_dps_calculator_3_1_a/) to use for maximizing your gear.
