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 [Thorns] spell that the druids have.
Rank | Level | Damage Done | Cost |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 16 | 5 | 30 |
2 | 26 | 8 | 54 |
3 | 36 | 12 | 1 26 |
4 | 46 | 16 | 2 16 |
5 | 56 | 20 | 3 78 |
6 | 66 | 26 | 7 47 |
Talent Improvements
- [Improved Retribution Aura] (2 Ranks) will improve the damage done by the aura by 25/50%
- [Aura Mastery] will extend the radius of all the Paladin's auras to 40 yards.
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 [Devotion Aura] for more armor.
- Since there is no resistance to Holy damage, the paladin's enemies will always take full damage.
- For tanking Paladins, it is useful as a no-mana always-on form of reactive threat, synergizing well with [Holy Shield] and [Blessing of Sanctuary]. However, it is not recommended for fights where the Paladin needs the full mitigation of his armor, such as boss fights involving massive amounts of damage. Devotion Aura is better suited to these fights, where the idea is to stay alive rather than inflict a minor stream of threat.
