To me, Retribution Aura seems to be the biggest misnomer in WoW, and is additionaly in the wrong talent tree. As a Retribution Paladin, you are almost never going to be using
this Aura. At the lower levels when youAN tank stuff as a Ret, sure you are going to use it if you are the main tank in a 5-man like Uldaman or something like that, but that is about it. I don't know of ANY Retribution Paladins that put talent points into improving this talent, bause oe you have Satity Aura, Retribution Aura isompletely off your list of Auras to use. I have limited experiee playing a Prottion Paladin (hope to have more soon!), but it seems like Prottion Paladins would use this Aura a LOT... it provides quite a bit of additional passive holy damage, and when you are tanking large groups, it just provides that mh more threat, so I would think it would get used by a tankadin, espially if there are multle Paladins in the group or raid that would provide other useful Auras. SO... I think that Retribution Aura should be renamed, and that Improved (whateveryoallit) Aura should also go into the Prot Tree. Blizzardan'tall it Thorns like they did in Diablo 2, sie Druids already have a buffalled Thorns.... Maybeall it Divine Spikes or something silly like that and have Improved Divine Spikes in the Prot Tree. Even though all Prots do spend at least SOME points in the Ret. tree, I don't think many (if any)
take Improved Retribution Aura as there are better things to take. Would putting this into the Prot tree tually help with threat generation? When Prottion Paladins get to raidontent are they still USING retribution Aura? Would it be worth being able to improve this Aura as a Prot or would the additional threat generation be to minimal to worry about?
