Phase 2 (Ulduar 25) Best in Slot from the Icy Veins WotLK Classic Retribution Paladin Dps gear guide. Rings/Trinkets: the source lists 2-3 ranked options in one row (you equip two) — split here into two named slots, top pick in slot 1; combined source text kept for both. Enchants/gems reused from the matching wotlk/p4 spec profile (same stat priorities apply across phases).
