Божественная сила

Divine Strength gives 10% more strength when fully talented. Strength is your primary source of AP, making this mandatory for any build.

Божественный интеллект

Divine Intellect gives 10% more intellect when fully talented. While a larger mana pool is useful, it is generally not worth the 5 point investment.

Духовное концентрация

Spiritual Focus gives you a 70% chance to not lose casting time when taking damage during your Свет небес and Вспышка Света casts. This is useless in PvE, but is great for PvP where you will be doing lots of healing on yourself and teammates, and where an quick Свет небес could be the difference between life and death.

Улучшенная печать праведности

Improves your damage done by your Печать праведности and its Judgement. You will not be using this seal for PvE as Ret, making this useless.

Исцеляющий Свет

Increases your healing done by Свет небес and Вспышка Света by 12%. This could be useful, but at this point putting more talents into Holy means losing damage talents elsewhere.

Освящение

Drops a zone on the ground that damages enemies within for a holy damage over time while they are inside. This is your only source of AoE damage, making this a required talent for most builds.

Улучшенное возложение рук

Essentially makes your Возложение рук a much better spell and lowers the cooldown from 60 minutes to 40 minutes. This could be useful, but at this point putting more talents into Holy means losing damage talents elsewhere.

Непоколебимая вера

This gives you a 10% chance to resist fear and disorient effects. This could be useful, but at this point putting more talents into Holy means losing damage talents elsewhere.

Свечение

With this you get the mana cost of a healing spell refunded when it crits. This is too far down in the Holy tree to be worth taking.

Улучшенное благословение мудрости

Makes your Благословение мудрости slightly stronger. This is too far down in the Holy tree to be worth taking, and will almost always be used by a Holy Paladin in a raid.

Божественное одобрение

A powerful cooldown that makes your next healing spell a guaranteed critical strike. This is too far down in the Holy tree to be worth taking.

Долгое правосудие

Makes your Judgment effects last longer, but this is too far down in the Holy tree to be worth taking.

Священная сила

Increases your critical strike chance of your Holy spells by 5%. This is too far down in the Holy tree to be worth taking.

Шок небес

Holy Shock is one of Holy's signature spells. It is a 30-second cooldown that provides a strong, instant, burst heal when you need it. This is too far down in the Holy tree to be worth taking.

Protection Tree Talents

Улучшенная аура благочестия

Improves the effect of your Аура благочестия, and should always be taken if you might be using this aura. This is generally a good talent to take as well due to its low placement in the tree, and since you need the points to get into the next row.

Оплот

Increases your chance to block after being the victim of a critical strike. This is useless for Ret since you will not be using a shield.

Точность

Increases your chance to hit which is useful for when you want to use Правосудие or melee attacks. This is a required talent in most builds unless you are already hit capped through gear, but that most likely will not be the case.

Помощь стража

Lowers the cooldown on your Благословение защиты and increases the duration of your Благословение свободы. This is a great talent alone since both of those are awesome spells, and is definitely worth taking to get later into the Protection tree and for PvP.

Крепость

While the extra armor is great for PvP against physical damage dealers, this is useless in PvE. However, if you need the points to go later in the Protection tree, this is better than some other options.

Благословение королей

A powerful buff that is a requirement in any group. At least one Paladin in your group should always have this to put on everyone, making this a great choice to have in a normal build. You could choose to skip this if you knew for sure that another Paladin in your raid group was going to be the one casting this, but there are not really better options to take in other trees.

Улучшенное праведное неистовство

Completely useless in both PvE and PvP since Ret Paladins should never need or want to hold threat on any target.

Специализация на щитах

Similar to Оплот, this is useless for Ret since you do not use a shield.

Предчувствие

You will not need defense as a Ret Paladin, making this worthless in all content unless you are trying to build some sort of hybrid tank build.

Улучшенный молот правосудия

While Молот правосудия is mostly useless in PvE, it is one of your strongest abilities in PvP. This can be worth putting points into for PvP since it is such an effective stun and control tool, great for killing or disengaging.

Улучшенная аура сосредоточенности

Аура сосредоточенности is an amazing aura for casters, but this will most likely be used by Holy Paladins, not Ret. This is too far into the Protection tree to be worth taking.

Благословение неприкосновенности

This blessing is not particularly great for the majority for the raid group, but is amazing for tanks. At least one Paladin in your raid should have access to this, usually, the same one who is also picking up Улучшенная аура сосредоточенности since they both require lots of points into the Protection tree. This is too far into the Protection tree to be worth taking as Ret though, and will usually be picked up by a Holy Paladin.

Расплата

While this can be very useful for leveling, it does not provide a good enough effect to justify so many points into the Protection tree as a DPS.

Специализация на одноручном оружии

You will not use 1H weapons, and this is too deep into the Protection tree to be worth taking.

Щит небес

While this is a great tanking ability, it is not worth taking as a Ret Paladin and is far too deep into the Protection tree.

Retribution Tree Talents

Улучшенное благословение могущества

Благословение могущества is a requirement for all melee in your group. Most builds will include this since its such a powerful blessing for many classes.

Благодарение

Reduced mana cost of spells is great and allows you to DPS for longer periods of time without running out of mana.

Улучшенное провосудие

Правосудие is your most used damage dealing ability, making this a required talent.

Улучшенная печать воина Света

While you will not be using Печать воина Cвета normally, Judgment of the Crusader is worth using on longer fights, specifically bosses, making this talent still worth taking.

Отражение

This is a great filler talent and defensive choice for PvP, but useless for PvE.

Подтверждение

This talent could be situationally good in PvP against melee targets but is not worth the points. There are better options to take for both PvP and PvE.

Приговор

This increases your critical strike chance on attacks, making it required for any Ret build.

Печать повиновения

This is your primary seal as a Ret Paladin and makes up a big portion of your damage. This is required to play as a Ret Paladin since you will be using this 99% of the time.

Погоня за справедливостью

Movement speed is very important in general and is a great option to put points into, especially with how little mobility Paladins have.

Око за око

This is a powerful PvP talent against casters and can reflect lots of damage, but is useless for PvE.

Улучшенная аура воздаяния

Improves your Аура воздаяния, which is great if you were running this aura. There are better aura options for most situations though and is not worth spending the points for usually.

Специализация на двуручном оружии

Increases your damage with 2H weapons, making this a required talent for Ret.

Аура святости

Paladins are the only class that does holy damage, making this aura not useful to other party members, but is a nice damage increase for you.

Отмщение

Provides a nice damage bonus for a few seconds after critically striking, making this a required talent for Ret. This also increases the value of crit as a stat for Ret.

Покаяние

This is a powerful control spell in PvP, and can be great in dungeons where strong control abilities are usually required. While this might not be useful in raids, it is worth the one point investment just to have for other situations.

Leveling WoW Classic Paladin Talent Builds

Why Retribution?: Retribution talents have a lot of synergy with each other, between Отражение, Приговор, Специализация на двуручном оружии, and Отмщение, simply auto attacking will get you through most of your leveling content. Paladins are one of the best support classes and even as Ret they can provide a leveling partner like a Rogue or Warrior with a lot of utility to overcome any sort of world PvP you might encounter while leveling.

Some Talents Come Down To Preference: The order in which talents are suggested in the following guide are going to be based on the assumption that you're on a PVP server and you'll occasionally get into a scrap, if you aren't experiencing much World PVP you can take more PVE oriented talents.

Hey, thank you for the really nice guide!

I was wondering though, since ret seems to have a pretty tough stand in the community, what about some kind of hybrid heal/ret build?
Maybe something like 21/0/30 - problem would be the hit cap though, but i wouldn't cut Vengeance somehow.

Somehow i would like the option, but i have never played classic before.

Thanks again!

I would have minor disagreement with the standard build, instead opting for something like this:

11/8/32

For the following reasons:

Forget about Spiritual Focus (if you want to dps, you shouldn't be healing - more intellect is better for less mana downtime
Forget about Repentance - it's a CC, which others in the party will have better options. You can spent the point in Benediction, again for less mana issues

Also, for the Kings build:

If you be blessing Kings in the group (i.e you're going to pick that up in prot tree) then keep the holy talents from the standard build (you want Consecration!) and drop points from Improved Blessing of Might - you can't bless both on the whole group anyway, and a point from Vengance (not ideal to do this, but better to keep Consecration, and you can't drop it anywhere else)

11/11/29

So i have to disagree with the standard build . Repentance While an OK cc other classes do it better. I would use that point to finish out benediction. I'd also get rid of Spiritual focus and go For Divine Int. 10 % int is just to good to pass up. Just my 2 cents.
