As a Retribution Paladin, Relentless Earthstorm Diamond is your go-to for your meta gem. Bold Living Ruby should be placed in your Red sockets for the Strength gain which is your most powerful stat point-for-point, Sovereign Nightseye in Blues to add some Stamina and aid your survivability, and Inscribed Noble Topaz in your Yellow sockets to increase your Critical Strike chance but most importantly to activate your meta gem.
