Instrument of Law
Paladin · Retribution · Row 6 of 7 · 2 ranks
NEW in Forever
Instrument of Law sits in row 6 of the Paladin Retribution tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role. It can take up to 2 points. Max it fully, or put in a few points just to open the rows below.
New in Forever. This talent never existed in Classic, so don't go looking for an old version to compare. There is none.
What Instrument of Law does at each rank
A rank is one level of a talent. Every rank makes the effect a bit stronger. The list below uses the exact wording from the beta client, word for word.
- Rank 1: Reduces the cast time of your Hammer of Wrath by 0.5 sec, and reduces all threat you generate by 10% while Righteous Fury is not active.
- Rank 2: Reduces the cast time of your Hammer of Wrath by 1 sec, and reduces all threat you generate by 20% while Righteous Fury is not active.
How to reach Instrument of Law
Row 6 opens after you spend 25 points in the earlier Retribution rows. Level 35 is the earliest you can pick up Instrument of Law.
Is Instrument of Law worth the points?
Every rank makes the effect stronger, so putting in a few points while leveling is totally fine. Max it when the final rank is the heart of your endgame build. And if you only need it as a stepping stone, no shame in stopping early.
