Retribution Paladin Best in Slot — MoP, Phase 2 — Throne of Thunder

Melee DPS · Updated 2026-07-23 Spotted a mistake in this BiS list? Email bis@boostyou.ai and we'll look into it.

Phase 2 / Tier 15 (Throne of Thunder) Best in Slot from the Icy Veins MoP Classic Retribution Paladin gear guide (anchor phase-3-best-in-slot). Tier set: Lightning Emperor's Pauldrons/Battleplate/Gauntlets/Legplates. Belt note: Icy Veins mislabels the Cloudbreaker Greatbelt's source raid as "Heart of Fear" on this page — Jin'rokh the Breaker is in fact Throne of Thunder's own first boss; corrected here. Enchants/gems reused from the mop-p3 (Siege of Orgrimmar) list — same items across MoP raid content.
