Repentance is a talented Paladin ability from Tier 7 of the Retribution tree.

This is a second crowd control ability for Retribution Paladins (after [Hammer of Justice]), which is very useful in both PvP and PvE, as it allows two targets to be stunned/incapacitated at the same time (if the mob is not immune). However, note that damaging a target affected by Repentance will end the effect. Repentance is useful in duels, allowing time for a quick self-heal.

This talent is required for the [Fanaticism] talent.

Tips

• Warriors can use [Berserker Rage] to break out of Repentance.
• Mages can not [Blink] out of Repentance.
• With 1 minute duration and 1 minute cooldown, this talent has become a reliable crowd-control for PvE - particularly since it's instant-cast, and works with many races: Humanoids, Demons, Dragonkins, Giants, Undead.

See Paladin Talents for more details.
