The reckoning is at hand!

Hand of Reckoning is a spell that was added in patch 3.0.8 and available from trainers at level 16, to be used as both a taunt and a pulling tool. It has a 30 yard range and deals Holy damage.

This ability will act as a ranged pulling device for paladins of all specs, being of particular use to Retribution paladins who have no other means of ranged pulling. This ability will be an immense help while soloing/questing.

Furthermore, this is the widely requested single target taunt for paladins due to the somewhat complicated use of Righteous Defense, and it does not set off the Global Cooldown nor is affected by it.

Note

Hand of Reckoning does not count as a Hand spell.
