Prot vs. Ret?

Hey all,

Heres my story:
I rolled a paladin, was ret will like 35 then went prot for AoE grinding (By hand). Then Honorbuddy came along so obviously i bought it.

I was wondering if their is a big advantage for specing Ret over Prot?

Thanks in advance!

 

Ret spec is probably the best spec to bot in.

 

But is there any big advantages to respecing to ret?

 

Well with seal of command and glyph of seal of command makes ret better, less down time, also once you get judgement of the wise you will defenaly never run out of mana

 

HB doesn't handle AoE pulls well at the minute, if it puills them all by accident and coded to handle then thats fine, but typicall one pull at a time and ret is fair better at single target dmg, plus as was mentioned you dont run out of HP or Mana if you play it right

 

I'd have to agree with these guys on going ret. I left my paladin alone to do 60-70 with 60 waters on him and when he hit 70 he had 57 left.

 

Ok, I'm 2 levels away from Outlands so i'll go respec then, Many thanks!
