A question for ret paladins

How did you do it? How did you get hand of rag and best in slot gear as a ret paladin? I’ve been getting denied groups just for being Ret. The groups I do manage to get into I end up healing. Yet I see max level ret paladins with legendaries and full epic gear running around. Did you guys pay off your guild leaders? Play with close friends? I know ret in classic does subpar damage and everyone else knows it too and I’m genuinely curious how some of you are have decked out characters when the “meta only” mindset seems to be prevalent in the community.

Toss cleanses everywhere, keep either judgement of light or judgement of wisdom up depending on raid composition and fight, bring consumables, etc.

My personal normal raid group is usually pretty melee heavy. It’s pretty insane how much healing judgement of light will bring to a comp like that. If I’m there, we can take 2 fewer dedicated healers.
