Consumables

4.1.

Food

Ideally you will have access to Pandaren Treasure Noodle Soup Icon Pandaren Treasure Noodle Soup but if not consider the individual use foods recommended below to increase your Strength rating.

  • Black Pepper Ribs and Shrimp Icon Black Pepper Ribs and Shrimp
  • Fluffy Silkfeather Omelet Icon Fluffy Silkfeather Omelet
4.2.

Flasks and Potions

As a Retribution Paladin we will use Flask of Winter's Bite Icon Flask of Winter's Bite.

Potion of Mogu Power Icon Potion of Mogu Power is our default choice as a Retribution Paladin. If possible try to pair your Mogu Power potion with your Guardian of Ancient Kings Icon Guardian of Ancient Kings as the percentage Strength increase will benefit from the added Strength from your potion.

Master Healing Potion Icon Master Healing Potion is a quick burst of healing that may allow you to survive damage that would otherwise be deadly so its important to always be ready to use this as an impromptu defensive cool down.

4.3.

Profession Items

While you will not have much time to cast them and any kind of damage taken will interrupt their healing, Heavy Windwool Bandage Icon Heavy Windwool Bandage can be the difference between surviving or dying so it is a great Mana-free way to heal yourself in an emergency if you find yourself without the Mana or Holy Power needed to quickly heal yourself.
