I would agree with above ^^^
This is a MUST for all PvP Paladins, There is a nice trick for this that I used.
-When you are in range to use this against your enemy, immediatley use repentance to dismount/ stop the enemy/ seperate him from his group. (I especially find this useful when trying to catch enemies such as Flagholders)
-Now that your enemy is stopped regain a bit of mana for a second or heal (potions etc)
-now hit him again with a Hammer of Justice
-He is stunned again, Unleash your DPS

Does Will of Forsaken remove this?

Comment by Abraxin

While this is a great CC for PvP and "light CC" in PvE, I really feel like it's quite underpowered. Don't get me wrong. I love this spell with all my heart. I am a Ret-arded person after all lol. But I really do think this should have been made into a baseline paladin spell. Making this "Improved Repentance" would have been sweetness.+3% increased chance that it won't be resisted and +19 seconds added to its duration against NPCs. Wonderful!

As it is? It's a staple for any Retadin out there. Be they PvP or PvE. No reason NOT to get this. But it really does need an upgrade after all this time :)

Comment by Roxton

Why is this better than sheep? I know pallys needed a CC (well, sort of), but this is easily the best CC in the game! To a class that can already tank, heal, and damage!

Comment by Shockna

Lets hope they don't nerf this, this is a real good improvement for Retadins, one way too long in coming.

Comment by Proteina

Does it go in Diminishing Returns with other spells in PvP?
I'm thinking about the Ret/Rogue 2v2 combo, does this have a DR shared with Sap/Gouge/Blind?

Comment by Tigerraven

Repentance (Retribution) mana cost changed to 9% of base, duration increased to 1 minute (10 second PvP duration), now usable against Demons, Dragonkin, Giants, Humanoids and Undead.

Comment by rm2k3guy14

I would love to know why Sap lasts 10 seconds in PvP when it is an Incapacitate effect like Repentance, but this still only 6 seconds? The mechanics are the same, it just seems to be that Blizz is yet again favouring Rogues.

Comment by Retribooter

an important note is that while u get an automatic crit if u judge command on a incapacitated/stunned target... Sap counts as "Sap" and not incapacitate so it WONT automatically crit if u judge..

However both effects share diminishing returns..

I play with a rogue in 2v2 so i tested this many times

Suggestion: they should change the icon.. a sleep or something paladinish style.. 2 guys staring at something at a distance doesent seem like a worty spell icon hehe

Comment by pallylock

This may be overpowered it's cc for an entire frigging minute. You could take an opposing team's player out of battle for an entire minute if you wanted, provided they had no way to escape it.

Comment by Esylor

This is an outstanding ability for PvP but it shines out moustly in PvE ill just point out why :)
1.in PvP its 8 secs , in PvE its 1 minute
2.since its duration AND cooldown are eaqual in PvE you can keep your target asleep forever
This means that you can solo any elite mob with this since you can take your time to heal up and regn mana with divine plea.
3.Can leave the opponent out of the fight until you and your party have dealt with his friends
An awesome spell to have in PvP and PvE.

which translates as: "anything other than an elemental"

so get a warlock to help............

Comment by sirknala

Does anyone know if this can now be used to interrupt boss spellcasts (that are interruptable of course)?

Comment by cynon

this will be changed the next patch, censure stacks will no longer break CC effects. a useful macro for anyone not already doing this is:

#showtooltip
/stopattack
/cast Repentance

this way even if you're in melee range of your target and already hit him a few times, your auto attacks wont break it

Comment by Ronark

Repentance is being buffed in 4.2 to a 30 yard range, however it still breaks on all damage except Censure.

Like other CCs changed for 4.2, this spell will also not initially aggro mobs or nearby mobs when out of combat. However, getting too close to the mob or creature will still cause the mob to "remember" that you CC'd it, and you will be placed into combat and have aggro on it.

Basically, all CCs that do not deal damage are being changed to act like Sap.

Comment by 3xploit

Ever notice that mages, shamans, hunters, and possibly anyone else who can CC finds the visible effects the swirl above your target's head a little too subtle? As I'm sure many Ret pallys have gotten their targets frozen or polymorphed after casting repentance...

Comment by deatheater7551

Here is a fun trick to use with this:

If you cast Repentance on the target, don't attack. Wait for them to pop their PvP trinket out of it and then HoJ. Now they cannot free themselves from the stun and you can whack away.

No PvP trinket fo' U!

Comment by xXxDSMer

in 5.0.4 this is a selectable talent by any spec of paladin. I went with this over fist of justice b/c a 6 second stun's not particularly useful in PVE even if it's cooldown is reduced 30 seconds, and a 50% slow from burden of guilt isn't particularly useful in PVE either (although any of the three could be quite useful in pvp).

But with this on my prot spec (and even holy spec), i don't have to worry about there being a longer term crowd control for things like the infinite supressor in one of the hour of twilight runs... i already have repentance available to use anytime i'm in a dungeon.

Comment by ChickNourish

Nobody noticed that this has a 15 second cd in mop?
That's gonna wreck some asses :)

Comment by Discokoopa

It's useful for some of the more mundane purposes as well, such as shuting up that 530k HP mogu near a Rich Trillium Vein you don't want to have ninja'd.

EDIT: Lol spelling

This talent works on Dark Animus' Anima Golem (The little ones)?
