Blizzard to strike one of WoW’s recent meta dominators with heavy set of nerfs
Retribution Paladin will be receiving a serious set of nerfs on live WoW: Dragonflight servers, Blizzard has announced. The spec was completely reworked in Patch 10.0.7, and has turned into a DPS juggernaut in both Mythic+ dungeons and raids ever since.
Retribution Paladins will be receiving a flat nerf to all of their damage, with a baseline reduction of three percent to all sources of DPS. Instrument of Retribution—which gives the Paladin a free use of Avenging Wrath whenever an allied party member dies—will have its buff duration decreased from 12 seconds to nine seconds.
