Some good news for you Retribution Paladins out there. After looking at the DPS across the board in Firelands, Blizzard has decided that Retribution Paladins needed a slight buff, so they're buffing the Censure effect from Seal of Truth by 40%.
» SourcePaladin - Censure Hotfix Incoming
After monitoring thousands of Firelands kills, we've concluded that Retribution’s damage was not where we wanted it to be, so we're going to increase Censure damage by roughly 40%. We'll also be keeping an eye on paladin damage as we move towards patch 4.3. We expect that this hotfix should be applied sometime later today.
We're also considering shifting some of the damage from Hammer of Wrath into other attacks. While that may not necessarily cure some of the current concerns about proc reliance, it should help smooth out damage a bit.
Stateofdps.com currently lists Retribution Paladins in the middle of the pack, so the adjustment seems to have worked well. They're not quite as good as Arcane Mages or Shadow Priests, but well ahead of Subtlety Rogues and Beast Mastery Hunters.
