Critadin Shopping List

[Malka]

A paladin can be quite a respectable damage dealer, if she has the proper gear to support this activity. Lots of plate supports a strong retribution specc, but the way to really up your damage output is with +crit gear. If you are a new level 60 paladin who wants to assemble a set of +crit gear, this list might help you. I'm not listing other useful gear on the list, just +crit. If you run with a feral druid in feral form you will get an additional +3% crit from her aura.

No MC/ZG/BWL/AQ/Onyxia or PvP gear on this list. Note that the only +crit chest armor at this level is PvP gear. There are no +crit cloaks. Go with a Cloak of Warding since you'll be fighting 2h and pulling a lot of aggro.

Here's the thing: in order to maximize your damage, you will also need mana. You can get this by buffing your intelligence. Lots of critidins use the jewelry slots for +int gear, suck down greater intellect potions, run with mages to get AB, and put +mana chants on chest, head, and legs (the latter two are libram quest chants; don't do this until you have a great piece of headgear or leggings). Others mix +crit armor with +int armor.
