Retribution Paladin PvP Guide — The War Within (11.2)

Retribution Paladin is currently a solid melee specialization that can excel in both Solo Shuffle and Battleground Blitz. Its semi ranged playstyle enables it to play very well with double melee compositions allowing safe positioning. Retribution remains one of the worst DPS in 2v2 arena as it has no Mortal Wounds. Retribution has a few comps that are are fairly good in 3v3 arena. Overall it is a fairly easy class to pick up with enough complexities to keep the veteran and new player interested.
