PvP Strengths

A Retribution PvP setup leans on short windows of pressure and the Paladin tools that keep you alive between them.

  • Burst Windows Retribution talents concentrate damage into short openings, which suits opponents who will not stand still for long.
  • Defensive Cooldowns The 20 points outside Retribution keep Paladin defensive and support tools reachable when a fight turns against you.
  • Utility For Your Team Blessings, cleanses, and support tools are often as decisive in battlegrounds as raw damage.

Retribution Talent Preview

The 0/20/31 community-preview allocation below is the starting point. PvP rewards adaptation, so open it in the calculator and keep several versions.

Playstyle

Three phases to plan around in most engagements.

  • Engage Close the distance and commit only when your damage cooldowns are actually available.
  • Burst Spend your window on the target your group is already pressuring rather than starting a separate fight.
  • Survive Keep a defensive tool for the moment your burst ends, because that is when opponents will answer.
