Why Retribution Paladin?
Retribution Paladin is one of the most dominant melee specializations throughout the Cataclysm expansion. This specialization offers massive survivalibility to themselves and to allies in crucial moments, an influx of talents to increase burst potential, as well as instant cast ranged Crowd Control that allow for Retribution Paladins to shine in Cataclysm Season 9.
Starting with their utility, these cooldowns allow for powerful survivability and make Retribution Paladins a viable option when choosing compositions that involve double or triple DPS specializations due to their off-healing. Word of Glory makes Retribution Paladins immensely tanky compared to other classes, making compositions with Retribution Paladins very difficult to secure kills. Their talent, Sacred Shield, combined with Divine Shield, make paladins difficult to land kill windows on, although they are typically the primary target for arena matches in Cataclysm.
Retribution Paladin’s burst offers multiple cooldowns such as the ability, Guardian of Ancient Kings, which can grant additional strength from attacks. Pairing this talent with Avenging Wrath and a newly added talent, Zealotry, make this specialization extremely deadly, especially since their generators from Crusader Strike will be empowered for additional Templar’s Verdicts.
Lastly, having the ability, Repentance, allows Retribution Paladins to instantly cast ranged Crowd Control in Cataclysm, and when paired with powerful burst cooldowns, this can create substantial pressure for your opponent.
Overall, Retribution Paladin is one of the strongest melee specializations for PvP. If you are interested in learning more about how to optimize your performance at Retribution Paladin, check out the corresponding sections for the most optimal race, talents, glyphs, gear, professions and macros.
