Retribution Aura is an instant cast aura that surrounds the paladin. If an enemy hits the paladin or a party member that is within 30 yards of the paladin, the attacker will take Holy damage. It's like a group version of the Spell nature thorns [Thorns] spell that the druids have.

Tips & Tricks

  • When there's only a single Paladin in a group, this aura is best for a group that can take a few hits. If the Paladin is in a group of cloth wearers, it would probably be better to use the Spell holy devotionaura [Devotion Aura] for more armor.
  • Retribution Aura is often a good choice if the paladin is tanking, as all the damage reflected to enemies from this aura will contribute to the threat of the paladin (not the party member being hit).
  • Since there is no resistance to Holy damage, the paladin's enemies will always take full damage.
