[Withdrawn] Lest Ret paladin

Player Information
Character Name: Lest
Server: Barthilas
Current Guild: Empathy
Armory Link: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/barthilas/lest/simple
Talent Spec: 7/2/32 Ret
Explanation of your spec, glyphs, gems, reforging and enchants: My spec is the basic cookie cutter ret PVE DPS spec.

Glyphs
Glyph of Templar's Verdict: Obvious reasons, 15% more damage on my top damage ability.
Glyph of Seal of truth: +10 exp rating, allows a lot more flexibility in gear choices and reforging especially early on in the expansion.
Glyph of Exorcism: This one is close between Glyph of Crusader Srike but pulls slightly ahead.

I gem mostly +40 strength gems, +20strength/+20hit in blue sockets with + strength sockets and +20strength/+20crit in yellow sockets with strength bonuses. Use +54 crit/1% spell reflect in meta socket since it's the most viable one at the moment.

I reforge according to stat priority: hit > exp > crit > haste > exp

I use mainly cheaper versions of the BiS enchants. Notable enchants are; Weapon, i use Avalanche at the moment, it's about 135 DPS better than Hurricane and i'm too much of a poor cunt for landslide ATM >< Boots: I use 32 AP WotLK enchant because weighs +50 haste/mastery etc. +50 hit would be viable, though i'm hit capped through reforging. Bracer: Also WotLK enchant, same reason as boots.

What makes you an exceptional player? I look into the theorycraft of my class fairly deeply adjusting gems, reforging for best dps for current gear. I'm on time and learn fights quickly.

Feel free to add any information that will help you with your application. Think i'm done :>

Are you sure you want to be Tofu jr? Wouldn't you rather go holy and be Pluvi jr?

I run heroics with this guy, he's okay.

+1 cos you like Gee

You say the correct stat priority yet you reforge mastery to haste? When that haste could be crit which is a higher stat. Why gem for 20hit/20str when the bonus is only 10str or 10 haste. Str is the king of all stats for ret atm its 3-7 times greater than the secondary stats. making 10 str better than 20 of any other stat.

Sorry you're right about the 20/20 gems, fixed now. Also i assume it was the shoulder you were talking about earlier, i reforged the mastery to haste because the shoulders already had crit on them. I now fixed it to a more optimal set up.

Why don't you use some PvP gear since generally higher ilevel means more dps for ret with str being so far ahead of any other stat even under hit/exp caps.

I'm planning on using 4 piece bonus for the huge strength bonus when i get it, which will be sometime during the next few days.

u know they are nerfing pvp 4 sets to 90 instead of 180.

I'll probably have 2p t11 by next patch.

Still is better than heroic gear
