But consider what you're getting...<BR/><BR/>Increased outgoing damage on a scaling thorns effect.<BR/><BR/>2% extra damage for everyone in range.<BR/><BR/>3% haste on everyone in range.<BR/><BR/>Think of what you used to get for even 3 points on an aura...<BR/><BR/>Improved Conc? Silence duration reduction by 2 seconds or so, since the extra pushback negation was overkill when considering Spiritual Attunement and other such talents.<BR/><BR/>Improved Devotion Aura (old version)? 300 or so armor. Whoop-dee-doo.<BR/><BR/>Those 6 points to improve Ret Aura in WotLK are super sweet.Shwitz44https://www.blogger.com/profile/12859042711928927792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3304405110845468577.post-67540908840620319272008-09-05T18:42:00.000-04:002008-09-05T18:42:00.000-04:00I believe that Ret Aura is being underestimated by...I believe that Ret Aura is being underestimated by many Paladins, especially in its effect raid encounters with significant AoE damage. However having three different talents, for a total of 5 points, affecting a single semi-situational aura is more than a little silly. <BR/><BR/>The scaling stat for Ret Aura is also a bit wonky. It scales directly with Spell Power (indirectly with Attack Power via Sheath) at a coeff of 6.6%. Hence its primary effect is significantly better for Holy than Retribution Paladins.<BR/><BR/>It's not a great aura, but then no aura has really been great. I think though it could be improved significantly whilst still retaining it's core mechanic. If nothing else, slimming down the number of talents needed to improve it would be a good start.Suicidal Zebrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09209267053163631586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3304405110845468577.post-63436275775667614612008-09-05T14:45:00.000-04:002008-09-05T14:45:00.000-04:00No, but aura's going raid-wide means it's gonna be...No, but aura's going raid-wide means it's gonna be on somebody getting hit, even in PvE.<BR/><BR/>And in PvP, go go punishing machine gun-like melee attackers!Shwitz44https://www.blogger.com/profile/12859042711928927792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3304405110845468577.post-41020577965788539172008-09-05T13:51:00.000-04:002008-09-05T13:51:00.000-04:00Gratz.

My question though is, as a PVE Ret Paladin, you really shouldn't be getting hit right?Honors Codehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10603644804340531952noreply@blogger.com
