It's very useful talent in PvP, but crapy for PvE.

Many people think it sucks but it can actualy save your ass many time (or it helps you catch running opponent) in combination with Blessing of freedom+repetance you can escape any class.

And you can spare feet spot for other enchant then Mithril Spurs :)

Comment by Darceidus

If you do not choose to use speed enchants on your items while leveling up, this talent is a moderate help to your grinding/questing experience. In fact, it may be more useful to spec into this talent before conviction.

As others have stated, this talent is pretty much worthless endgame.

Comment by Kalkran

The talent has three effects according to wowhead.
Apply Aura: Mod Speed and Apply Aura: Mod PARTY Speed, so this talent increases the speed of everyone in your party (and in range?) as well?

Comment by Linnia

like someone said, I'm using this to help get to places sooner while I level. but after I get to 60(maybe 70) I will be replacing this with a speed enchant.

Comment by mcmuff

Expected to be implemented in the next content patch:

"Pursuit of Justice (Retribution) is now 3 ranks and increases movement speed by 5/10/15% and also reduces the chance you'll be hit by spells by 1/2/3%."

Comment by CKaz

I posted in the third rank that it looks like it'll be 2 ranks in WotLK, and this calculator now backs that up.
This will cap at 2 points, netting you 2% spell miss and 15% speed.

Plus: only 2 points for the nice speed boost (at least while levelling/pvping/not using speed aura), keeps spell miss
Minus: can't get 3% spell miss here any more, only 2%

Comment by warbar

It stack with zanza speed potion its awesome +35% increasing speed im like f hunter lol

Comment by bambuk

Cant use just speed potion (elixir or whatever it calls) so u dont need to enchant ur boots or chose this talent ? If i get right then this talent speed does not stack with other speed effects, so it means it does not stack with speed potion right ?

Comment by Terizlee

Does this stack with Crusader Aura?

Comment by dannyboy1100

Im a retribution paladin just coming up to 80 and i was wonder if i should use this or if i should put an extra talent point into swift retribution and SoC (you know for adds) ?

downrate this if u want I'm just not sure what one i should do...

Comment by robhob

I've been told that the reduction in the disarm duration devalues Titanium Weapon Chain as an enchant. If this is so what would be a better enchant for a tank?

Comment by Kuplas

With the increased need for movement boosts in Cataclysm raid encounters, this is a talent that all paladins should consider. Needless to say it's still vital for pvp.

Comment by xgdp

as of now

•Pursuit of Justice now has an 8-second internal cooldown, shared with Blessed Life.

doesn't affect retadins as much as healadins but it's there, so feel free to spam CC on me i guess...

Comment by Expetra

This does not stack with the movement speed increasing boot enchants such as Earthen Vitality

Comment by Soraph

Does it also scale with the guild perk Mount Up?

Comment by iamleejn

The buff from this talent can be maintained at maximum effect almost full time:

Build up 5 holy power
Use holy power ability
Immediately follow with a holy power generator

Voila! Enjoy your near-permanant 30% runspeed boost.

Comment by Rawveggie

In 5.0.4 this appears to NOT be increasing mounted speed. I killed a few mobs, got two charges, had the buff, moused over it and it said my speed was increased by 25%.

I checked my speed on the character screen and it showed 492%.

I started flying and as my charges of holy power fell off my speed did not change. Is 492% the max?

Comment by xXxDSMer

in 5.0.4, i went with this talent for my prot and holy specs. While tanking, on fights i know i'll need to move quickly, i tend to keep 3 HoPo in reserve (2 right after i've spent on shield of the righteous, but that's followed up with crusader strike or hammer of the righteous)... makes for a nice always able to move +25 to 30% to get away from, or out of, those bosses ground targeted aoe attacks.

And on my holy spec, with holy shock being castable anywhere anytime, it can go +30% all day (same speed as shaman's ghost wolf, but requires having 3 holy power) which works since i'm usually casting holy shock at the tank to build and maintain illuminated healing, and the proc for spirit from one of my trinkets, between fights... just dont always have the option of keeping 2-3 holy power while i'm in my holy spec.

Overall, IMO, it's the best of the three (at least in PVE) because it's always a speed boost even when there's no holy power on hand it does 15%. It also doesn't require pushing another button or hitting something with judgment to get the boost.. it just works, all the time.

Comment by jeramiahsental

To me, there seems to be a glitch in which if you leave a dungeon while at a certain level of this, say 30% extra run speed, if you leave while you have that, it actually keeps that buff outside of the dungeon you were just in, despite you not having any Holy Power at that time. This glitch is fixed by attacking anything with a Holy Power generating move, which will set it to the proper level.

Comment by Morgaledh

Paladins, here is your version of hunter's Aspect of the Cheetah with no chance of being dazed! Virtually no downtime with this little macro:

#showtooltip Holy Shock (or whatever spell icon you want I guess)
/cast Holy Shock

Triggers Pursuit of Justice and gives you a self heal to boot. Pop this whenever, it will always target you in case you're in a group of mobs and need a little boost. I also add

/cast Divine Protection

to pop Divine Protection, or I suppose you could add

/cast Divine Shield

if you wanted to speed up running and bubble.

I've used this a long time, it's very useful for staying fast when running through large crowds of mobs you want to pull but keep getting slowed by being hit. Try in next time you're pulling a whole instance for farming mats or whatever. Enjoy!

Comment by nmb3000

Patch 6.0.2 introduced new movement speed stacking rules which affect how this talent stacks with movement speed enchantments (summary: Everything now stacks, but the stacking effect is lessened).

While Pandaren's Step got hit with the same nerf-bat as most other old enchantments and can only be applied to items with lower than 600 item level, the new best cloak enchantments (Crit, Haste, Mastery, Multistrike, Versatility) include a 10% movement speed increase.

With the new movement speed rules in Warlords, these types of enchants now do stack with Pursuit of Justice. In patch 6.0.3 with a 10% movement speed enchantment and talented with Pursuit of Justice, my movement speed is 125% with no holy power. With three holy power it is 140%. Pretty nice, especially for running old content!
