Causes 2 Holy damage to any creature that strikes a nearby party member. Players may only have one aura on them per paladin at any one time. The aura lasts until cancelled.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Area Aura (Party) (effect type 35). It applies aura type 15. Its base value is 2. Its area radius is 30 yards.

What it does

Retribution Aura is a Holy spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura to the party in a 30 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70532. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
