Why do I see more ret pallies gemming pure Attack Power instead of Strength? Did I miss something in the patch notes or something? With
Divine Strength 5/5
stength is valued more than pure AP.
Take for instance:
Bright Scarlet Ruby
is a static 32 AP.
Bold Scarlet Ruby
is actually 18 strength (talented) which is 36 AP and 19 strength (with Kings) which is 38AP.
Why do I see so many Ret Pallies stacking AP Gems instead of strength?

Because they either don't know any better or they don't want to spend the time/money on better gems.
1Str=2.2 AP for pallies, so it's actually 35 AP.
Either way, str gems are better than AP gems by far.

If you see "more" Paladins stacking AP over Str...then I feel bad for your server. Every paladin I've seen gems for pure Str. And then some.
Sorry for your misfortune.

Thanks for the reply guys, I thought I was behind the curve on something that I might have possibly missed.

Boy oh boy we are lucky to have you here arent we! 2.3ap : 1 str without kings.
Thanks for the correction, but as usual, could have been done without the abrasiveness and sarcasm.

lol...without sarcasm...not gunna happen.
But yeah Strength > AP as everyone keeps saying. Get a pocket JC to make you strength gems if you need some, it makes it cheaper.

If money is the problem, going JC is really not the solution.
Yea, the only way a pally would take AP gem over STR is because they can't afford the strenght one, or they dont want to spend the gem on something they know they'll replace too quickly.
If you see a 32 AP gem into a valorous piece or equivalent, then slap em.
JC is only expensive if you buy your mats...
