Which Artifact Path to Pick as Retribution Paladin?

In Legion Remix you will pick between one of five paths in your Artifact Weapon to spend your Infinite Power Icon Infinite Power on. These five trees each have their own unique active ability as well as multiple passives that increase your damage, healing, or survivability. Below are a few recommendations depending on your playstyle, but keep in mind that experimentation and playing around with the different themes and passive is half the fun of this temporary game-mode. Picking your favourite choice based on theme and visuals is perfectly valid!

For Solo Players: We recommend playing with either the Arcane or Nature tree as a starting point, as their kit has a mixture of defensive and offensive bonuses. You can switch to Storm or Fel for raw DPS when teaming up with other players, or when you can handle the damage enemies deal to you.

For Duo-ing: When teaming up with one other player, having a combination of Fel and either Storm or Arcane works best. The player talenting into the Fel tree will apply Fel Touched Icon Fel Touched to enemies, while the Arcane and Storm damage deals increased damage against Fel Touched Icon Fel Touched enemies, something you need a second player to benefit from.

For Group Play: When doing 5-man dungeons, Storm is likely your best option due to its massive AoE potential, while Fel offers great single-target damage boosts for raid encounters.

Here's a quick overview of each of the trees:

  • Nature: This tree offers strong damage procs, while the active ability Call of the Forest Icon Call of the Forest shields you as well as dealing moderate AoE damage to targets in front of you. The passives in the tree provide good damage and survivability, and are particularly powerful when teaming up with other players.
  • Fel: This is a purely damage-focused tree, allowing you to summon a Dreadlord with Twisted Crusade Icon Twisted Crusade that will summon a Rain of Fire to deal damage in an area. With the capstone you can re-use this ability for a massive amount of AoE burst around the Dreadlord's location.
  • Arcane: This tree mixes survivability and DPS, but only if you can stand still in combat. Its active ability, Naran's Everdisc Icon Naran's Everdisc, deals massive AoE damage to targets in front of you, and you can benefit from this up to 3 times if you catch the orb as it returns to you.
  • Storm: Although this is primarily aimed at casters due to the passive ability of being able to cast while moving, this tree is still usable for Retribution Paladin as well. The active ability Tempest Wrath Icon Tempest Wrath deals damage in a circle around you, and each target hit will increase the damage further. With more points in the tree this also grants massive amounts of haste.
  • Holy: This tree is a bit more healing-oriented, which might be helpful if you're struggling with healing yourself in solo content. Its active ability Vindicator's Judgment Icon Vindicator's Judgment will deal massive AoE damage and healing, while its passives will provide regular procs of healing to yourself or party members if you team up with other players.
