I bring this up because I see lots of threads about "rate my build" and so on and so forth, but I have yet to see a thread (I'm sure there is one in 7 pages, but...) on what are the most advantageous points to go for up to level 25ish.
From my experience leveling other characters, I go down any tree that gives any bonus to movement speed (for all of the incredibly boring running that has to be done early on), then respec once I have a mount if so desired. It just so happens that Retribution has both damage increasing talents and a movement speed increase, so it is my tree of choice.
Here's my first 15 points:

Anyone else have any other strategies or reasons for their choices of the first 15 points?

Well, for me, it was about sustaining a low downtime while leveling. Movement speed increase doesn't do it for me. I'd prefer going with
this
build.
I'd like to state, like many others have and will, its purely preference.
It of course is a preference, which is why I started the thread :D This way people can see what others have chosen and hopefully why.
I am curious though... you did chose Pursuit of Justice like I did... but the movement speed isn't important to you? Or did you link my build back by accident?

I'm curious if you guys think that SoCom is better than seal of righteousness. It seems like if you go for SoCom, that you end up with a point that you won't always use all of the time, especially if you are going for the SoCrusader, SoR combo... especially if you've taken Imp SoCrus...
Also to add, you can build up some nice tanking talents in retribution... the parry and PoJ both appeal to me because I'd like to be a tank at some point and both help with mitigation.

SoC is better than SoR. Period.
It scales with Strength, while SoR scales with nothing at low levels.
Just make sure to get as slow a weapon as possible.
Edit: Forgot to mention that SoC scales with crit chance too, while SoR can't crit. Also, JoC scales with melee crit while JoR scales with spell crit. JoR won't benefit from points in the 5 point crit talent in tier 3 Retri. (Forgot its name)

Interesting. I was thinking of putting my next several points into the Holy Tree for Divine Strength, which would go with what you are saying... thanks for more to think about.
