Tips & tricks

  • Righteous Fury is absolutely necessary for Paladins who are Main Tanking to ensure adequate threat generation. The 6% damage reduction from the Improved Righteous Fury also makes a significant difference.
  • This increases the threat generated by all holy spells, including healing spells.
  • Depending on the fight and spec, healing with Righteous Fury active can be either good or bad. Numerous higher tiered raids have large amounts of AOE damage, where the 6% damage reduction from Improved Righteous Fury can save a healer's life, and healing aggro is seldom an issue. However, many fights include aggro wipes or reductions, and 6% damage reduction is not worth pulling off the tank. Keep an eye on the threat meters and know the fights before activating Righteous Fury as a healer.
  • Activating this spell with a Retribution build will deactivate the threat-reducing properties of Fanaticism while the buff is active, so dont waste your talent points on both Improved Righteous Fury and Retribution tree threat.reducting talents.

Mana usage bug

  • Previously, players would note that casting this spell drains more mana than the listed cost. This issue was resolved in Patch 2.3.2.

Patch changes

  • Patch 3.2.0 (2009-08-04): No longer has a duration, remaining until cancelled or death. Also cancelled when a Paladin activates a different talent specialization.
  • Patch 3.2.2 (2009-09-22): The bonus threat from Holy spells caused by this talent has been reduced from 90% to 80%.
