Avenging Wrath is a paladin class talent.
Notes[]
- Not affected by the global cooldown.
Tips and tactics[]
- This ability essentially places the Paladin at a higher DPS bracket for the duration. It suits Retribution Paladins best due to their already relatively heightened damage abilities, but is useful in PvP and PvE alike as a way of causing huge burst damage in a small amount of time. This spell itself does not trigger the Global Cooldown, but unlike Judgement, is affected by it.
- Avenging Wrath is dispellable and easily recognized by enemy players due to the giant golden wings protruding from the Paladin's back, and thus should be used with caution around Shamans (
[Purge]), Priests (
[Dispel Magic] or even
[Mass Dispel]), Warlock's Felhunters (
[Devour Magic]), Hunters
[Tranquilizing Shot], and worst of all, Mages (whose
[Spellsteal] can give them the great benefits of this spell, making them even more powerful). Therefore, think before you use this spell, and time it correctly. If you are fighting a Shaman, Mage or Priest one-on-one, make sure you cast it the right time (could be when the target is affected by
[Hammer of Justice] or
[Fist of Justice]). Make sure the target has used any stunbreaking cooldowns or trinkets etc. The result, when timed right, can be deadly.
- Because of its powerful boost and well-known visual effect, Avenging Wrath is often simply referred to as a paladin's "wings". For example; "he used his wings, so the other guy was killed in two seconds".
