Ret pally help

hello
i am playing battlegrounds and im doing good.
however i want to do better, and there are some classes im having problems with. the first is rogue, they appear out of nowhere, zap/stun, then kill me in less than 3-5 seconds. The problem is that i cannot move or attack or cast spells during that time, so all i can do is wait until im dead. the other problem is, what talents does the top players use? whats the best tactic? whats the best gear?
I usually stay from distance and spam exorsism, and then once the enemy is weak i cast judgement and rush in and kill, always with hammer of wraith as the killing blow. It works and gives me a lot of kills, however there are some situations that are impossible e.g when a rogue sneaks up and immobilizes me and then kills in 3-5 seconds.
Whats the solution?(##RESPBREAK##)16##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##Moved over to the Paladin forum.

Assuming level 70 from your previous post
Medallion of the Alliance
can help. Also look for potions that will remove movement impairing spells...etc. Easy to find on your local Auction House or by asking in trade for an Alchemist to link their book.
Free Action Potion
being one of them. However it doesn't work if you are already stunned or sapped or something similar. But can be used when going into open areas or taking a path where you have been getting camped to prevent being stunned.
Edit: Don't forget as a paladin you can "bubble." Just don't do so while carrying a flag...etc.

I already have EMFH to dispel fear with, so i don't think that the medallion will help much...
how do you arrange the skills?
I have 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,=, which spells/skills should be put here? Also what skills are needed and which skills should be ignored?
Also whats the best seal to use?

Personally my 1 - = is set up as follows
1: Crusader Strike (instead of aiming with auto attack it automatically locks onto an enemy and attacks at the same time)
2: Hammer of Wrath
3: Word Of Glory (Emergency self healing purposes)
4: Divine Storm
5: Rebuke
6: Exorcism
7: Judgement
8: Holy Wrath
9: Templar's Verdict
0: Hammer of Justice
-: Consecration
=: Zealotry Macro (Zealotry, inquisition)
In addition I have several other skills set to keybinds in order to make my reaction times improve.
s: Guardian Macro (GoAK, Wings)
D: GoAK Alone
\: Wings Alone
x: Seal of Truth
F: BoK
G: LoH
H: Inq alone

I don't understand this. But I am very interested in getting my reaction times to improve greatly because right now they suck.. Also good idea with word of glory, I never really use it but now I realize how important it is.

Well typically auto attack is on button 1, yes?
If you place Crusader Strike there, then when you're in someone's face and hit 1, not only do you target that enemy, but you reel off Crusader Strike immediately. it's much simpler than doing it via t>attack or 1>attack, it's a mechanic i've been using for some time.

well yes, but sometimes it says that its on cooldown and then it doesnt attack..

I just get the message "that's still recharging" and no attacking.

I also changed to holy paladin so maybe i should stop thinking on ret pally build.

Does anyone else feel like its much easier to play as mages or Hunters in battleground? Retribution feels weak without the buffs.

Ok,I have a level 90 ret pally and in my guild we're torn by people who say BoM is what you use and those of us who say BoK is ret and BoM is for Prot. I would like an outside unbiased opinion.
Any and all comments on this matter would appreciated.
Personally I say I pay $16 a month to play my toons however I want but would still like a community opinion
Thanks everyone who commented on this

One..this has nothing to do with the discussion at hand; should have made a new thread.
Two: All three Pally specs learn both Blessings. You put up which ever buff is missing from the raid as whole: If you don't have Mastery, put up Might. If you don't have the 5% stat buff, put up Kings.
Three: What you pay has nothing to do with when to use the buff.
