1. This page aggregates TheWoWDB-tracked Retribution Paladin characters. It is not a rotation guide and it is not a world-first raid note.
2. Cohort: the highest rated players on the current US PvP ladders. The character profiles behind this page come from our crawl of the US rated PvP ladders, so players who never queue rated PvP are not in it.
3. The talent, gear, and stat tables describe the top 50 tracked players (cap 50) after requiring a stored talent loadout. Characters without a loadout do not count.
4. A page is published only when at least 30 such players exist. Below that, the URL 404s so a thin sample cannot rank.
5. Most-used means the highest count in this cohort. It is not a verdict that the choice is correct.
6. Embellishments are omitted: the Armory equipment payload we store lists slot, item, enchants, and gems, and does not flag embellishments.
7. PvP talent names come from the character profile when present. Mythic+ pages rank the cohort by stored mythic rating; PvP pages rank by the current US leaderboard rating; builds pages rank by item level.
8. Client build for talent-tree labels: 12.1.5.70448.
9. Current US PvP season id on file: 42.
