Hello again, Paladins!

Working from feedback we’ve received, the new 10.0.7 build includes changes to talent positions, Holy Power generation, general build synergy, and many bug fixes.

Class

  • Unbound Freedom is now located on the class tree for the Retribution specialization only.
  • Healing Hands is now located on the class tree for the Retribution specialization only.
  • Zealot’s Paragon has been removed from the talent tree for the Retribution specialization only.
  • New talent - Vengeful Wrath: Hammer of Wrath always critically strikes. This talent is located on the Class tree for the Retribution specialization only.

Retribution

  • New talent - Vanguard of Justice: Your single-target Holy Power abilities cost 1 additional Holy Power and deal 20% increased damage. 2 Ranks.
  • New talent - Divine Wrath: Avenging Wrath / Crusade duration increased by 3 seconds.
  • Executioner’s Will has been redesigned - Now increases the duration of Execution Sentence and Final Reckoning by 3 seconds.
  • Adjudication has been redesigned - Now increases critical strike by 2% and Hammer of Wrath critical strikes cause a Blessed Hammer to spiral around you dealing Holystrike damage to enemies.
  • Justicar’s Vengeance now has a default range of 8 yards.
  • Crusader’s Reprieve now also affects the range of Rebuke.
  • Final Reckoning now lasts 10 seconds (was 9 seconds) and you deal 40% increased damage (was 50%).
  • Empryean Legacy lockout period now 20 seconds (was 30 seconds).
  • Inquisitor’s Ire now gains a stack every 2 seconds (was 3 seconds).
  • Art of War now only triggers once per Crusader strike cast, whether it be from manual casting or auto-attacks.
  • Art of War’s chance to proc increased to 20% (was 15%).
  • Penitence is now 1 rank.
  • Divine Hammer now deals damage every 2 seconds (was 1.5 seconds) and total duration has been increased to 12 seconds (was 9 seconds).
  • Vanguard’s Momentum is now 1 rank.
  • Hammer of Wrath damage increased by 16%.
  • Execution Sentence now causes 25% of the damage you deal to be added to Execution Sentence (was 10%).
  • Blessed Champion now correctly states that additional Crusader Strike targets are hit for 50% damage.
  • Commanding Judgment now causes additional Judgments to deal 50% reduced damage to targets (was 85%).
  • Highlord’s Judgment now additionally increases the duration of Judgment by 2 seconds per rank.
  • Tempest of the Lightbringer no longer consumes a stack of Judgment.
  • Crusader Strikes now generates 1 holy power every 2 attacks (was every (1) attack).
  • Righteous Cause chance to trigger reduced to 20% (was 25%).
  • Vanguard’s Momentum no longer grants additional damage to Hammer of Wrath (as its base value was significantly increased).
  • Fixed an issue that prevented Divine Hammer from benefiting from Sanctify.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented Consecrated Ground from working correctly with Divine Hammer.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented Empryean Power from triggered from Crusader Strike auto-attacks.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented Blessing of Dawn from working correctly with Justicar’s Vengeance.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing Penitence to not work correctly with Wake of Ashes, Expurgation, Consecrate, Consecrated Blade, Divine Hammer, and Execution Sentence.
  • Fixed an issue that caused Sanctified Plates to not correctly increase your stamina.
  • Fixed an issue that caused Justicar’s Vengeance to not consume stacks of Blessing of Dawn.

As you can see, we have not yet focused on tuning. We’re still working on the amount of single target talent choices, Holystrike / Radiant builds, and Retribution’s overall mobility package. But we intend to move into tuning in the near future.

Thank you very much for your testing and feedback!

I would still like to see Holy Avenger left as an option between Divine purpose. More so for holy as its my main spec however I enjoy the talent for ret as well with the smack and generate 3 holy power for either AOE or straight burst DPS.

      We've looked at the Mythic+ Tier List for the first time in Patch 10.2.6!
      DISCLAIMER
      The following post is based on data from U.GG. Therefore, the data presented here may differ from Petko's Mythic Tier Lists maintained on our site.
      How the Data is Calculated
      U.GG's tier list is created by evaluating damage and healing scores from the very best players and factoring in the frequency of each spec's appearances in the highest rankings of the current Mythic+ season. The tier list of each spec is determined by its effectiveness and prevalence at the highest levels of Mythic+ play.

      Dragonflight Season 4 adds a new world quest for Spark of Awakening.
      To get your Spark of Awakening, you must complete a different quest every week.
      The weekly quest is available from Therazal in central Valdrakken. There are 3 options, but only one is active every week, similar to how Awakened raids rotate.

      Dragon Isles Quest
      Participate in a Community Feast Participate in a Hunt Lay siege to Dragonbane Keep Zaralek Cavern Quest
      Protect the Researchers Under Fire Loot a Secured Shipment (Suffusion Camp) Complete a Time Rift Amirdrassil Quest
      Earn 50 Bloom during the Superbloom Complete a Superbloom Plant 3 Dreamseeds Quest Rewards
      Completing any of the 3 quests above grants the Season 4 spark fragment (Splintered Spark of Awakening) via Weekly Awakened Activity and a Cache of Awakened Storms.
      You will need two Splintered Spark of Awakening and 250 Flightstones to create one Spark of Awakening.
