Retribution Paladin PvP Talents and Builds — Midnight Season 1

Herald of the Sun Retribution Paladin is a build that focuses largely on consistent pressure from damage over time effects such as Dawnlight and faster Holy Power generation from Walk Into Light. While slightly less bursty than some Templar builds, Herald of the Sun has some of the highest sustained pressure of any specialization during Avenging Wrath.

Some important spells to note in the Paladin talent tree:

• Attractive looking talents like Stoicism and Fear No Evil have significant PvP nerfs and will most likely not be used.
• Blessing of Protection can be taken against physical damage dealers such as Arms Warrior however, you can opt out of this talent against Spell Casters and use it as a flex point into a talent of your choice as it is not required to pick up when selecting the PvP talent Blessing of Spellwarding
• Divine Purpose vs Sacred Strength is very close in value and ultimately personal choice.

Templar Retribution Paladin focuses on delivering fatal damage with Hammer of Light. This build gains increased durability thanks to Sacrosanct Crusade and Wrathful Descent, and focuses heavily on dealing short burst damage through combination of Divine Exaction, Divine Hammer, and Quickened Invocation.

There are a few talents that differ from the Herald of the Sun build. When running Divine Exaction you should take Quickened Invocation. You should also always run Divine Purpose to occasionally have free uses of Hammer of Light. Boundless Judgment is also preferred to give Divine Exaction are larger chance at a triple proc of Retribution's mastery Highlord's Judgment. Templar Strikes is preferred to prevent downtime with this build.
