Retribution looms for those beyond redemption.Template:TCG quote

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. Like a group version of Spell nature thorns [Thorns].

Retribution Aura

Tips & Tricks

  • Retribution Aura is the Aura of choice now for the Retribution Paladin thanks to the major overhaul of the class in lead up to Wrath of the Lich King. Fully talented through Spell holy mindvision [Sanctified Retribution] and Ability paladin swiftretribution [Swift Retribution] all party and raid members receive a 3% increase to all damage dealt and 3% melee, casting and ranged haste.
  • Retribution Aura is affected by +spell damage.
  • Retribution Aura can work well for tanks, as it is a permanent costless source of threat. As it works "on-hit", it is especially suitable for multi-mob scenarios, as they will hit a lot for (usually) little damage per hit.
  • Since there is no resistance to Holy damage, the paladin's enemies will always take full damage (unless they resist it by the base miss chance).
  • Retribution Aura will not stack with a Balance Druid's Ability druid improvedmoonkinform [Improved Moonkin Form], ie. if both are present in the raid, only 3% haste will be received by members, not 6%. It is worth remembering that even though the addition haste will be canceled out, the +3% damage is still active. Should you have a second Retribution Paladin specced into Ability paladin sanctifiedwrath [Sanctified Wrath] it may be worth selecting a different aura for the raid.
