TRINKETS
Below you can find a chart that shows the approximate value of available Trinkets. Be sure to sim your character as your results will not match exactly. Remember that you should only use 1 "On Use" Trinket as they put each other on a 20 second cooldown.

GEAR
Here you can find a rough power ranking for Azerite armor pieces. Make sure to sim anyways, because some traits are less powerful once stacked multiple times. https://www.retpaladin.xyz/ret-paladin-azerite-gear-ranking/

FAQ
Q: Which talents do I run in Uldir?
A: RV + HoW + WoA + Crus/Inq for single target, swap RV to Zeal for frequent AoE/Cleave such as Zek'voz.

Q: Which talents do I run in Mythic+?
A: Zeal will be better on Fortified weeks and RV may be useful on Tyrannical. BoW and HoW are both very competitive and you can go with what you like to use more. Consecration can be good on small consistent pulls and Wake will be better on large pulls. Divine Purpose is good all around and Crusade is very strong with large pulls.

Q: What is best weapon enchant?
A: All 4 secondary stat enchants are close enough that you have to sim your character. This is easily done on Raidbots with Top Gear. You should never use Gale-Force Striking or Torrent of Elements.

Q: What Gems and Ring Enchants do I use?
A: Use Top Gear on Raidbots to sim different Gem combinations.

Q: Do I use Potion of Bursting Blood or Battle Potion of Strength?
A: Use Battle Potion of Strength.

Q: Which is the best Paladin races for Alliance and Horde?
A: Light Forged Draenei for Alliance and Blood Elf for Horde.

Q: How can I get Pawn weights for Retribution?
A: There is no official Pawn string for Retribution, so your best option is to sim yourself after each piece you obtain to find out what gear and talents are best.

Q: What is our stat priority?
A: We do not have a stat priority. You should be simming gear choices to determine what provides the most DPS. A guide on how to do so for SimCraft can be found here: https://goo.gl/edBZXR and for RaidBots here: https://goo.gl/5t3XqX.

Q: How do I sim for Mythic+?
A: On Raidbots change your "Fight Style" drop-down to "DungeonSlice (BETA)". This is a much more accurate representation of Mythic+ than "Hectic Add Cleave".

Q: Does Zeal cause AoW/Bow to proc more?
A: No. Unless a percentage is stated in a tooltip such as Divine Purpose a system called Real Procs Per Minute(RPPM) is used. RPPM only gains more procs with Haste. Zeal provides Attack-speed which is not the same as Haste.

Q: Do Azerite Traits stack?
A: The Damage or Stat gain provided by Azerite does stack. The proc chance, duration, stacks gained or other parts of the trait do not stack. Light's Decree will gain more damage but the 5 second increase does not stack. Empyrean Power will gain more damage but the proc chance(2 RPPM) does not stack. Relentless Inquisitor will provide more Haste but you will not gain more stacks or stack it faster.

Q: Are there any secondary stat caps worth chasing for?
A: No, there are none.

Q: Do I delay Judgment with Divine Judgment?
A: No. Judgment should only be delayed if you CANNOT use a HP spender to consume the Judgment debuff due to your target dying too soon.

Q: Is it worth using Justicar's Vengeance?
A: No, don't touch it ever. There are better healing talents and it's not a damage increase.

Q: What Talents/Gear/Traits do I want for PvP?
A: Please visit the #pvp-faq for more assistance.

Q: Which War Mode Talents do I use for PvPvE?
A: Lawbringer and Divine Punisher are damage relevant.

Q: Why does my wings only last 6/11 seconds?
A:The Hammer of Reckoning PvP talent causes this bug. Choose a different talent, logout, restart your game or any combination of the aforementioned to fix this bug.
