Talent Builds

All builds focus on Templar Strikes Icon Templar Strikes, because Crusading Strikes Icon Crusading Strikes is severely undertuned.

Retribution Paladins has 4 good talent builds using Templar Strikes Icon Templar Strikes. The builds start with an extreme single-target build and end with an extreme cleave build. The two mixed builds inbetween are great for various situations since they avoid the extreme nodes with low efficiency , which are only used to reach the peak for the two extreme builds.

PvP Talents (War Mode)

In Dragonflight, there will be the option to go into "War Mode." Enabling War Mode provides the following benefits:

  • PvP talents enabled in the outdoor world.
  • 10% increase in World Quest rewards at maximum level.
  • 10% more experience gained while leveling.
  • Earn Conquest Points which can reward gear every week.

With the benefits of enabling War Mode for leveling and PvE content, it is recommended enabling the feature to maximize your leveling and rewards at maximum level. However, you will make yourself available for open-world PvP, and the possibility of being "ganked" while leveling or doing World Quests exists.

12.1.

Retribution Paladin PvP Talents

  1. Lawbringer Icon Lawbringer causes your Judgment Icon Judgment to apply Lawbringer to initial targets hit for 1 min. Casting Judgment causes all enemies with your Lawbringer effect to suffer up to 4% of their maximum Health in Holy damage.
  2. Luminescence Icon Luminescence grants 4% increased damage and healing for 6 seconds to allies who got healed while affected by your Aura.
  3. Vengeance Aura Icon Vengeance Aura grants critical strike chance once you or applies get crowd controlled.

Spreading the Word Icon Spreading the Word, Blessing of Sanctuary Icon Blessing of Sanctuary, Ultimate Retribution Icon Ultimate Retribution, Blessing of Spellwarding Icon Blessing of Spellwarding, Aura of Reckoning Icon Aura of Reckoning, Hallowed Ground Icon Hallowed Ground , and Judgments of the Pure Icon Judgments of the Pure have limited use for PvE content in terms of increasing your damage in the open-world in a small group setting. For leveling and World Quests in Dragonflight, the choices above are better options.
