Primary Role

The Retribution tree is the damage dealing tree for Paladins. It's talents mainly focus on dealing 2-handed weapon damage, spell damage, reduce threat, some nifty PvP tools, and creating support for their raid. Protection spec Paladins will often go down Retribution to improve their avoidance and mana consumption, and Shockadin Paladins will spec down retribution 21 points to get their Sanctity Aura. Holy paladins don't have much use for the Retribution Tree, except for in cases where they want to grab Imp. Blessing of Might for the slightest dps boost.
