Hand of Reckoning is a level 9 paladin ability. It is a taunt with a 30-yard range.

Notes[]

  • Not affected by the global cooldown.
  • Hand of Reckoning is a spell; it can't be cast when silenced. Prior to Patch 4.0.1, it had a 17% chance to miss raid bosses (in contrast to the 8% chance to miss boss mobs for melee attacks). Prior to Patch 4.0.1, even if you were melee hit-capped (263 hit rating at level 80), Hand of Reckoning's chance to miss was still 7.0%.
  • Before its introduction, this taunt was widely-requested due to the somewhat complicated use of Inv shoulder 37 [Righteous Defense] at that time.
