TBC Classic Retribution Paladin Spell Summary

Paladins offer unique buffs called blessings, there are six different Blessing buffs in the game, each situationally useful and all of them very powerful. You can only have one active blessing per Paladin, you would need six total paladins to cover every buff. For each Blessing there exists the normal version and the greater version, such as Blessing of Might and Greater Blessing of Might. Both versions give the exact same buff, but the greater version will cast on all members of the targeted class in the raid. In addition, the greater version lasts 30 minutes whereas the normal version only lasts 10 minutes. However, greater blessings require a reagent to cast.

Some Blessings also have talents that can improve them. Greater Blessing of Might for instance has Improved Blessing of Might in the Retribution talent tree, so if you are in charge of using a specific blessing, it is important to consider if you have the improved version talented.

• Greater Blessing of Might: a buff that gives attack power.
• Greater Blessing of Wisdom: a buff that gives Mana regeneration in the form of Mp5.
• Greater Blessing of Kings: a buff that increases your primary stats by 10%.
• Greater Blessing of Light: a buff that makes you take more healing from Holy Light and Flash of Light.
• Greater Blessing of Salvation: a buff that reduces your threat generated by 30%.

Paladin's auras offer many different situationally useful buffs to party members. Paladins can only have one aura active at a time and have a somewhat short range (30 yards) but can be extremely strong in specific situations.

Like blessings, there are improved versions of some auras. If you know that you will be using a specific aura in raids, it can be very worthwhile to spend the talent points into its improved version, such as Improved Devotion Aura.

• Retribution Aura: an aura that causes you to reflect some holy damage back when attacked.
• Devotion Aura: an aura that gives armor.
• Concentration Aura: an aura that gives a chance for anyone casting to avoid pushback when they take damage.
• Shadow Resistance Aura: an aura that gives shadow resistance.

• Fire Resistance Aura: an aura that gives fire resistance.
• Sanctity Aura: increases holy damage done by 10%; this is a late Retribution talent.
• Crusader Aura: increases your mounted movement speed by 20%.
