Source and methodology
  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. 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.
  3. A page is published only when at least 30 such players exist. Below that, the URL 404s so a thin sample cannot rank.
  4. Most-used means the highest count in this cohort. It is not a verdict that the choice is correct.
  5. Embellishments are omitted: the Armory equipment payload we store lists slot, item, enchants, and gems, and does not flag embellishments.
  6. 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.
  7. Client build for talent-tree labels: 12.1.0.69587.
  8. Current US PvP season id on file: 42.
