Avenging Wrath
Last wiki revision 2023-07-09
Avenging Wrath is a paladin class talent.
- Not affected by the global cooldown.
- 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".
- Avenging Wrath is an epic Paladin spell in Hearthstone. The flavor text reads: "Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham!"
- Avenging Wrath is one of Yrel's basic abilities in Heroes of the Storm.
