Recommended Posts

Blizzard have gone in-depth on today's changes to Retribution on the PTR, detailing all the improvements, from total number of buttons to stacking modifiers, utility and more.

With today’s PTR update, we’re moving toward providing Retribution Paladins with options to invest in certain abilities, damage profile and damage types, while also increasing their survivability and trying to put them on a fairer playing field regarding movement.

Buttons
We’ve reduced the number of total buttons that you’ll be able to acquire as a specialization at one time. We’ve accomplished this through a variety of means: some abilities have been removed, some that felt redundant are choice nodes opposite one another, a number of abilities can now be talented to override existing abilities, and in a few cases we replaced abilities are granted for free as a secondary function of another.

Stacking Modifiers
We’ve made significant changes to reduce the amount of stacking modifiers available. To accomplish this, we’ve removed abilities that felt like they were doubling up in purpose, such as Seraphim and have also removed several small maintenance buffs and debuffs that we feel were not providing rewarding gameplay. The lost damage from this will be rerouted to core abilities, cooldowns and new talents as part of our future tuning.

Survivability
The Paladin class tree has seen a substantial update alongside our Retribution rework, through this and updates to the Retribution tree itself there should now be a number of options to help Paladins survive more while participating in various types of content.

Maneuverability
We aren’t done with maneuverability yet; we have a few ideas we’re currently exploring internally and will have more to share here in the future. Additionally, we’ve removed Divine Steed from the GCD, since Retribution Paladins rely on this as their major movement ability. Retribution Paladins now receive Blessing of Freedom for free as a part of their Specialization and can talent into a new talent “Unbound Freedom” which provides increased movement speed.

Utility
As previously detailed, Retribution Aura has been redesigned to benefit your group or raid. In addition to this and as a result of the updates to the Paladin class tree, it should now be easier to acquire talents that will provide a benefit to your group or raid.

In the 10.0.7 PTR, we currently have some

Known Issues

  • Tuning is in progress and several talents / abilities are likely undertuned and overtuned.
  • Divine Hammer does not benefit from some Consecration talents.
  • Improved Crusader Strike is not granting an extra charge to Blessed Hammer.
  • Blessed Champion and Commanding Judgement do not receive the correct damage reductions.
  • Executioner’s Will is not correctly functioning with Final Reckoning
  • Physical Presence and Searing Light will have more functionality / purpose.
  • Penitence and spells that benefit from it are not currently functioning.
  • Punishment is not correctly functioning.
  • Lightforged Blessing is not currently affecting allies.
  • Consecrated Blade and Divine Hammer are not correctly replacing consecration.
  • Jurisdiction and Unbound Freedom PVP talents will be removed as their effects are now built into the talent tree.
  • Consecrated Blade and Divine Hammers incorrectly require 20 talent points to be spent.

We look forward to hearing your feedback on the individual talents 34, layout, pathing and how fun you feel the builds you can create are.

...is there any info on how Retribution Aura benefits the raid?     Is it a clone of an existing thing like battleshout or the monk/dh debuffs?    Or something new?

Also keenly interested if the "not on gcd" extends to prot and holy paladins.     It feels like that change is long overdue for the entire class, having an emergency movement thing not available to dodge stuff because you just pushed a button in your rotation has always felt bad.

      Blizzard announced more PvP Paladin tuning coming with the next reset! 
      Tuning (Source)
      With Judgment’s cast frequency increasing in patch 10.0.7, Judgments of the Pure has been overperforming as a PvP talent. In a hotfix being applied this upcoming Tuesday, the talent will only apply to the Paladin and no longer have its effect applicable to allies.
      PLAYER VERSUS PLAYER
      PALADIN Judgments of the Pure (PvP Talent) now causes Judgment casts on an enemy to cleanse 1 Poison, Disease, and Magic effect they have caused on you (was allies within your aura).

      Many class changes went live earlier this week week and we're looking how they affect the Mythic+ Tier List.
      DISCLAIMER
      The following post is based on statistics provided by Subcreation, a website that gathers various Mythic+ data from live servers. Please note that the tier list is biased toward the top end because it only looks at the top 100 keys per dungeon per affix and ignores keys below +16 and untimed runs.
      For the reasons mentioned above, the data presented here will always differ from the Mythic Tier Lists maintained by Petko.
      Data Reliability
      The data used in the post comes from Subcreation, a site maintained by Alcaras. Subcreation provides statistical analysis of Mythic+ dungeons, raids, and PvP in Shadowlands, and the data is provided via the Warcraft Logs API and Raider.io. If you'd like to support Subcreation, you can check out their Patreon.
      How the Data is Calculated
      The site looks at the top 100 keys per dungeon per affix across all regions and examines their raider.io scores. For each dungeon and specialization, the site takes the lower bound of a 95% confidence interval of the top 100 runs for each specialization. The site then averages these lower bounds, one per dungeon, to get an overall average lower bound for each spec, which is finally used to create the tier list.
      The site takes the lower bounds of the 95% confidence interval calculated and then clusters them into 6 buckets using the Ckmeans algorithm. You can find more information by reading the site's FAQ.
      Tanks, Healers, Melee, and Ranged are all on the same scale. They're just shown separately for easier comparison across roles.
      Mythic+ Tier List for Dragonflight Season 1: Week #16
      The specs are ranked based on their lb_ci which stands for the lower bound of a 95% confidence interval. If a certain tier is missing, it's not occupied by any specialization.
      The following tier list is for this week's affixes: Tyrannical, Sanguine, Explosive, Thundering.
      Tank Tier List
      Based on 3,199 runs, ranging in difficulty from +20 to +28.

      A funny "Too Hot to Handle" reference has been discovered in Zaralek Cavern in Patch 10.1.
      When you target and /kiss Fyrakk in Zaralek Cavern, you will receive the Too Hot to Handle debuff and suffer Fire damage for 10 seconds. The buff doesn't stack, so when you kiss Fyrakk multiple times, only the duration is refreshed to 10 seconds.
      Too Hot to Handle - Are you blushing, or is it just the 1 Fire damage being dealt every 1 sec?
      The "Too Hot to Handle" reference was discovered by MrGM. Fyrakk is one of the Incarnates that escaped after Raszageth's defeat.
