DPS trinketFollow

I have a question for DPS trinket, i got Sphere of Red Dragon's Blood and Mirror of Truth and Incisor Fragment.

at the moment i am not hit capped, so the Sphere should be one to use. My question is, what should i use in the other slot? Is the Incisor any good for retri pally (i have heard that we don't need armor penet).

Witch one would you pick?

Thank

Mirror of Truth is the better choice. Incisor has a nice equip stat but it's on use effect is pretty average for a Ret paladin.

I agree, although I find it annoying that Mirror of Truth tends to only proc for me right as whatever I am fighting dies... all that wasted attack power... lol

Def the mirror and red dragon's blood, armor pen only affects physical hits so white damage and divine storm.

What about Anvil of Titans, only 25 WG marks.

Mirror FTW. Red Dragon only if you are not near hit cap(less than 200). dont underestimate the 19% armor pen from the Incisor(nice when used with AW)..the AP is awesome.

Armor pen is a TERRIBLE stat for Ret pallies, dont EVER focus on it, or really even look at it on gear. Pretend it doesnt Exist!!

While I agree that a Ret Paladin should not focus on Armor Pen or really ever even look for it on gear, saying "pretend it doesn't exist" goes a bit far. If you are already hit-capped and don't need hit rating, Mirror of Truth and the Incisor Fragment is a perfectly valid combination, and the crapton of Armor Pen on the Incisor Fragment IS going to improve your DPS.

A lot of Ret Pallies need the Sphere of Red Dragon's Blood to be hit capped, and that is fine; however, if you are overcapped for hit, you are wasting stats you could use elsewhere, and at least ArP is an improvement over too much hit rating.

As far as the PvP trinket goes, I would not use it with the mirror of truth due to the shared proc, but even in PvE content, resil does help you take less damage, so it wouldn't be totally horrible. Not nearly as desireable for PvE content as the mirror of truth though. In PvE content you want to maximize your DPS, and resil does nothing to help you do that.

If your hit capped, extra hit rating does nothing and it literally doesn't exist for your dps (we are talking about the OP topic). Listen to Jeromesimina on this, he explains it better than I do. As I stated earlier armor pen affects your white damage and divine storm (part of any ret paly rotation) so is the better choice if your hit capped. Since the OP is not then use the mirror and dragon's blood.
