Retribution Aura

Tips & Tricks

  • During 3.0.x, Retribution Aura was the Aura of choice for the Retribution Paladin thanks to the major overhaul of the class in the lead up to the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. Fully talented through Spell holy mindvision [Sanctified Retribution] and Ability paladin swiftretribution [Swift Retribution] all party and raid members received a 3% increase to all damage dealt and 3% melee, casting and ranged haste respectively while under the influence of the paladin's Retribution Aura. In 3.1, these talents were changed so that these bonuses would be given to all party an raid members while under the influence of any of the paladin's Auras.
  • 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 fully resist it by the base miss chance).

Related Equipment

  • The Protection focused Tier 5 Paladin Armor Set, Crystalforge Armor has a 2-piece set bonus that increases all damage done by Retribution Aura by 15.
