In Blizzard's notes
What Blizzard said about Retribution Aura, each line checked against the files.
- Not in the files
Fixed an issue with Retribution Aura that caused it to use the target being struck's spell power instead of the casting Paladin's spell power.
The files Whose spell power the aura uses is decided by the server; Retribution Aura's damage effect has no spell power value in the file.
- Partly
The base damage of Retribution Aura has been returned to the Vanilla WoW values (about a 33% reduction) and the spell power ratio has been reduced to 6% (was 13.3%).
The files The five ranks deal 5, 8, 12, 16 and 20 Holy damage in 70291, Classic Era's values (was 7, 12, 18, 24 and 30, so rank 5 lost a third; spells 7294, 10298 to 10301). The damage effect has no spell power coefficient in the file, so the 6% can't be seen.
- Not in the files
Retribution Aura uses the target's spell power instead of the Paladin's.
The files Known issue in how the server scales Retribution Aura's damage.
- Not in the files
Retribution Aura will now dynamically update its values based on the caster's spell power.
The files The damage effect of Retribution Aura (7294 to 10301) has no spell power coefficient in the files, and nothing changed in 70009. Blizzard's Oct 1 known issues say it was using the target's spell power instead of the Paladin's.
