Yeah there is a lot of good pally healer & tank gear in there, just not much for ret (at least not better than what I've got). Short of 25 man raids there's not really any 2h weapons in the game better than what I have, and most of the str+stam plate gear in there is not really that great compared to the S1 ret pally gear (or warrior gear for that matter). I did just get the S2 helm the other day after several weeks of quick 10 game/wk arenas heheh. The thing with ret is you do actually need a fair amount of int. Running out of mana w/a ret pally is like a warrior having zero rage, about useless. I just need a belt, some rings/trinkets/neck, (cloak too maybe) and this guy is ready to put on the shelf for the expansion.

I will go into kara though just to see it though as I've never been in there until the other day. I enjoy seeing the new content, just not the endless 4hrs/night 4nights/week deal

Nah, Kara is ezmode after a couple of weeks... our guild raids three nights a week (group 1) for two and a half to three hours and we all started around the same gear-level (dungeon blues, S1 gear)... the first three weeks it took us all three days to clear Kara, by that point everyone had gotten several gear upgrades. After that, we do a full clear (including Nightbane) in about a day and a half, which is roughly about four hours.

Plus, Kara is still the best source of badges in the game right now... so even if there isn't any gear that you need out of there, it's a great way to pick up badges in a hurry.

oh yeah good call, I'd like to build up a good supply of badges. only done 1 full heroic run (if you saw those plate legs I got from pantheon ) so I only have like 5 badges.

Once the badge vendor opens up at Quel'Danas, you'll be able to pick up badge gear that is equivalent to T6... they cost a lot of badges, but they're pretty damn good.

yeah I saw, like 100-150 badges a pop, def worth saving them for though.

70 Human Paladin: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.x...ear&n=Jerey

This is my main. He's currently in his "Block/Heroic" set which pulls about 900 block value (not shown on armory page) and has a lot of crap blues. We're working on Kael right now - two hours a night Wed, Thurs, and Sun. Tues, we clear 3/4 TK. I've also got a modest ret set with ~1800 ap and 29% crit unbuffed, but I only spec ret for Friday/Saturday usually since we don't have another prot paladin that can take my place.

Impala, put savagery on your Stormherald - you don't have enough AP for Mongoose yet. Take the two points out of deflection and put it into Crusade for increased damage as you're probably rarely using that parry talent as a dps. Lastly, consider re-enchanting to get rid of all those stamina enchants and replace with strength enchants for more ap. Unless you're clearing trash in T5 and T6 content or pvp'ing in the 1600+ bracket, that much stamina's not needed and when it is, the vengeful gear will give it to you.

I'll log out in ret gear after raid tonight since I don't play on Mondays and give you a chance to see that.
