Name changed from Hammer of Reckoning to Aura of Reckoning

Aura di Vendetta Whenever you or nearby allies with your Greater Blessings within 40 yards become victim to a full loss of control effect, your Holy damage and critical strike chance is increased by 3% for 8 sec. Stacks up to 4 times.

Blizzard

Catching up on a few things on Protection:
–Reverted the Holy Power changes from the July 8 update. All things considered, the attempt to rearrange where Protection Holy Power comes from wasn't enough of a win, given the general sense that Giudizio feels a lot better when it generates. Total Holy Power generation should also be higher again in this build as a result.
–Moved some mitigation from Scudo del Virtuoso to Consacrazione. This improves mitigation outside of Scudo del Virtuoso and makes damage less swingy.
–Replaced Shining Light with Luce Brillante (similar mechanic that existed in Warlords–Scudo del Virtuoso gives a stacking self-healing increase to Word of Glory). The role of the passive is the same–give Word of Glory a rotational cadence that gives it a clearly “better” time to use.

Blizzard

The most prominent changes in an upcoming build will be two new talents for Retribution.

– A redesigned brings back the iconic falling hammer, and delayed burst of large damage, on a 1 min cooldown.
– As discussed previously, Inquisizione was slated for replacement, due to having its role largely supplanted by the classwide talent . Look on row 50 for an entirely new active damage talent, Final Reckoning.

More minor changes:
– Santificazione Cinerea slightly reworked to be more normal AoE damage, as well as providing a stronger buff to Martello dell'Ira.
– Mani Curative (Ret) redesigned to buff both Mano Celestiale and Parola di Gloria, and to have it effect scale continuously with target health rather than having a cliff.
– Dono di Fede (Holy) generates 1 Holy Power
– Echi di Lordaeron (Holy) healing substantially increased

Blizzard

In an upcoming build, Blessing of the Seasons is reworked to be a single-target buff, instead of being party-based. This is both more in keeping with modern abilities called “Blessings”, and also avoids a lot of balance-related problems that people were seeing on alpha. For example, the damaging Blessings will now be more effective when used solo, not only in group play. All four of the effects have their values increased to go along with this change (caveat that tuning is still quite preliminary). The changes mentioned last week—where multiple Paladins in a group are locked together, and give a hidden increase in strength to the Blessings—are no longer necessary and are reverted.

Blizzard

Some changes in an upcoming build:

Protection: Holy Power generation rearranged somewhat. is on a shorter recharge again, and has a new effect whereby it generates an additional HP the first time it hits a given target (i.e. on the pull), but Giudizio no longer generates.

The Protection rotation had gotten a little bit emptier with the longer recharge on Martello, and this puts it back closer to BFA. Also, one particular time when Prot really wants Holy Power is the moment of engagement with a large group (but in a way that doesn't flood the rotation in longer combats). Avenger's shield will now conveniently start you with some HP when pulling packs of multiple enemies. Finally, with all this added Holy Power, we had to pull some back out of the rotation, and chose to do that on Giudizio, since it currently serves a separate important purpose with the Luce Brillante mechanic.

A few ancillary changes to this are increasing the duration of Trincea, and making Ira Consacrata generate 2 HP (so Giudizio still gives 2 in total while it is active).

Benedizione delle Stagioni: Keeping this short for now since we are considering further updates to this in subsequent weeks that make this change obsolete. But in this week's build, the Seasons will be in sync for all Paladinos within a party, and their effects are stronger if there are multiple Paladinos in the party.

Blizzard

Parola di Gloria was buffed recently on alpha, in particular for Holy.

Some people have seen, but, a few things not clear on Benedizione delle Stagioni from tooltips alone: the party is only in one Season at a time (whichever you've cast most recently). So you are not simply pressing a button every 15 seconds to maintain 4 buffs. You can let each season last anywhere from 15-60s. Assuming you have a favored buff based on role/context, that you want to keep for 60s, it's more like 4 presses every 2 minutes, but you might vary that based on planning ahead to have certain buffs at certain times.

Santificazione Cinerea was pretty recently iterated upon, and its tuning might be pretty far off. Increasing value or reducing cooldown could both be options there, although increasing value might be preferable because the visual is so enormous. Also, a long cooldown is better contrast to the other Paladino options.

+ Inquisizione is uncomfortable, we agree. Candidly, one reason it's hard to address is that there's probably a split among people thinking one or the other would be cooler to keep. Apertura problem for now.

Scudo del Virtuoso: This is an example (with respect to Ret and Holy) of something there hasn't been much of in the past two expansions or so. A button mainly intended for another spec, that is given to the class while leveling, that you don't have a strictly clear max-level use for. You certainly can use it, and one can imagine situations where you would. But if you don't, or don't put it on your bar, that's fine. Our current thinking is that instead of taking it away when you choose your specialization, we can just … not. We are discussing the UI that lights up buttons you don't have on your bar, for cases like this.

Ret's have been the top damage in all bfa raids and all 4 seasons of M+. For sure over powered in arena this whole expansion of BfA... looks like we are getting some hard ~~nerfs~~ for shadowlands, RiP

Commento di Neverborn93

crood is being sarcastic , Rets are really mid-bottom of the pack and brings nothing to raids/dungeons . 2700 rio score Ret here and i can barely get an inv for +20 , and watching these changes oh my...........rets are gonna be downgraded to unplayable spec .

Commento di Avionic

So every spec gets Holy Shock now and Holy Power has made a return for all specs as well? Alright I'm down. Even though increasing Avenging Wrath's CD to 3 mins seems rough, the boost to Beacon of Virtue should give us some better power in mythic plus as well as the convinience of making Holy Avenger line up with the CD of 3 mins. It looks like Holy Avenger only increases Holy Power generation this time around so I wonder that it's designed to be used as a burst AoE CD to spam Light of Dawn.

But lets talk about the big change, they reversed Infusion of Light, which I think is awesome. I hated how it used to be all about mana management vs utility. Now it's risk reward vs speed. I am so far really liking these Holy changes and I love having more ranged attacks on Ret and Prot now with Holy Shock. Plus, Turn Undead is back so yeah, I'm pretty stoked.

Edit: after rereading it, I missed that Word of Glory is returning as a Holy Power spender, which is awesome and changes how Holy Avenger works again.

Commento di Kaharule

im loving the barriers for certain moves only usable by certain specs being broken down like auras blessing of kings and wisdom and the damage increase to wake of ashes because it is a 45 second cooldown after all and crazy enough i wish after using it in the animation there was like black smoke simulating the ash after the flames just a thought but also love the increase to divine storm but i am kinda concerned on range still pvp wise vs mages and warlocks or pesky kiting hunters kinda wish divine storm when you get free proc from empyrean power the range was increased a bit and maybe we could get some of that judgment damage back really hate castors and maybe also you guys could consider changing the boring righteous verdict talent to final verdict like in warlords to add more flavor and class change up also i noticed out of all the finisher abilities like warrior execute and hunters kill shot or even now touch of death us rets have the weakest one i think to be fair while wings is active the damage is ok but where i start to have a problem is when their at 20% health i would like the damage boosted maybe to even double or 30% increase back in the day people were genuinely scared of hammer now with a 8 second cooldown at its strongest with wings youll be lucky to get a nice amount of damage off and i know im rambling at this point but just tryna lay ideas out there over all paladins are looking way better than bfa omost even at this point legion you guys brought back so much flavor with auras buffs of kings and wisdom for all specs hammer back baseline thank god because it was too weak and useless as just a talent but ill leave you guys with this things to consider bringing back i dont care how you do it set trinket or pvp talents would like to see more mobility maybe like double freedom like we use to have baseline defensive wise i loved the legendary Aegisjalmur bracers that gave 200% shield of vengeance if you were takin down to 1 % health was really nice and offensive wise something i really really miss is a power that went with wake of ashes call ashes to dust which when we hit the targets we gained a extra 15 damage against them and the old effect that let them burn for 10 seconds but praying i get in alpha to give you guy real feedback about whhat in game feels like not just guessing :)

Commento di Shiro867

For all of you people griping about AW getting nerfed to 3 mins. It hasn't for endgame, it's a change to leveling because Blizzard wants us to get something "every level". Same with BoW, it starts off giving us one HP then as we level we get an aura or a rank 2 version of it to give us 2 holy power. It's all stated on the changes.

Commento di Wilhelm

The ret talent tree link the wrong sanctified wrath

Commento di AnDanDan

WoA 5 holy power -> 3 Holy power. RIP. I was so excited to have that spell baselined and now I see its a lesser version. It'll still be nice to have but Ill miss being able to easily step into the wings rotation if I was at 0 power. Just one less option for getting to full power, though now its not a waste if you WoA and have anything other than zero.

Also, anyone on alpha tested the mana cost on crusader's strike? They did add the mana cost, but I wonder if its actually meaningful or something ret can ignore and continue on as normal.

Commento di Erza666

My wife played a Pld during cata when holy power was a thing and she said it's terrible. If it's how i think it's going to be, yep new tanking main for me, my pld can gather dust.

Commento di Froschlampi

Please! Do not remove Divine Purpose! Ok if you all wished for holy power, but i dislike it and i don't want to be forced again to play with holy power, which i really hate as a healer! TBH i want the holy paladin to be like or prior 3.3.5 and not like cata pala.

Commento di PaulTM

Haven't played since Legion (except a bit on Classic), as I couldn't bring myself to pay for the game when they had my favorite class so horribly messed up.

Came here to see what changes were coming with Shadowlands and see this:

"Holy Power is back to all specializations!"

Guess I'm not renewing my sub any time soon. Maybe expansion after Shadowlands?

Commento di Gagx

Holy Light no longer being a fast cast after a Holy Shock crit will make fake casting in arena extremly hard, at least we get something else for it, like the Saved by the Light talent and another insant cast heal

Commento di Talj

Good Evening Blizzard or I shall say now Activision!

I know you are super duper busy at the moment and loads of pressure on your shoulders with all this new expansion and all that but I have something on my soul and needed to say it out loud.
I was enjoying playing the Ret Paladin since Legion, had fun with that character, it's actually my favourite class.
Now, in BFA, this class is barely playable..No one takes us on a high M+ dungen (over 15) even the RIO is good, no one is playing with a ret in a high rated arena anymore, no one takes us in raids anymore, or sometimes the main reason why we are in there is just to buff the tank- healer with our blessings. Now, in this expansion, you took that one as well from us.. increased the CD on the Hammer of Wrath by 3 mins, mobility is 0, dispels/interrupts=1, damage inconsistent all the times even with the wings on, we are practically naked. Anyway, my question for you is this:
Why don't you remove the spec and buff more the DH, DK,Hunters,Monks and the Mages.
In this beautiful game, it should be some kind of balance between classes, right? Where is that?
I mean, the real game testers are us, the players..hopefully you'll see this topic and hopefully you will do something right this time.

Kind Regards,

Commento di Worix

I'm against the change to have Holy spec use Holy Power. Although I have been playing WoW since the beginning, skipping only Legion, I will say I have no experience using Holy Power as Holy Paladin. I guess my problem with it is its just one more thing to keep track of. I actually really enjoy my Holy Paladin the way it is in BFA. :D

Commento di Leftkeywest

Looks like I might shelf my Retribution Paladin main in Shadowlands. This goes to show you how disconnected Blizzard is to majority of the playerbase.

Ret in Shadowlands is going to be Enhance Shaman from the start of BFA in which they were desperately needing a rework. See y'all in 2-3 years.

rip "new"holy paladin playstyles this will not allow to play avenging crusader or glimmer spec anymore so we going back pandaria playstyle hope we get an extra thing to remove this change at least for healing spec
Crusader Strike Strike the target for (76.5% of Attack power) Physical damage.

Alpha Release - Build 33978:
Cost changed from None

Commento di Ciicerotwo

Will we see any changes to changing weapon during fights or in m+(where you make a macro to equip a shield upon using SoTR)? I see huge potential with having SoTR as ret, where you spend HP to mitigate dmg instead of dealing it, much like Feint for Rogues. Say in m+ for instance, Ret could have huge potential!

Commento di abcdefgeek

Holy paladin, sadly, is still in a trash state sigh.

Commento di russbakr

They wanted to make sure Holy Paladin was last in Mythic+ and Raid .. so this happened .. good job blizzard .. to all the Holy Paladins out there .. see ya in patch 10+

Commento di Zeraphiel

Final Reckoning for Retribution basically gives you Thor's Odinforce from the new Marvel game? Ok, I'm 1000% down with that.

I can't wait to try the changes out on all three specs. Paladin is still the only class where I like playing every spec.
