Retribution
A zealot who banks Retribution Holy Charge with every melee strike and Crusader Strike, then detonates it — from level 3 your initiate's Judgement is the spender (true Judgement outclasses it at 18), and Seal of Wrath and the Wrath Form nova erupt the bank for holy damage that scales with the charge you've stored.
Talents
Your melee strikes flare with holy wrath — a 10% chance per rank (up to 30%) to deal bonus STR-scaling holy damage AND bank an extra Retribution Holy Charge, accelerating your detonations.
Your strikes gain a 16% chance on hit to sear the target with holy fire — Censure, a STR-scaling holy DoT that stacks up to 3.
Judgement becomes your Holy Charge spender — it detonates all banked Retribution Holy Charge, searing the target for bonus holy damage per charge (grows each rank).
Consecration becomes Holy Nova — a bigger radius, higher-damage burst around you.
Your Judgement's detonation smites the target with a burst of bonus holy damage (grows each rank). Reward for spending the meter, not sitting on it.
Judgement becomes Seal of Condemnation — applies a +10% damage-taken debuff and Crusader Strike refreshes it. Pairs with Seal of Wrath: your empowered Judgement still detonates your charge.
Radiant Strikes becomes Zealot's Momentum — your Crusader Strike and Judgement deal +20% damage.
Your Judgement's detonation floods you with the banked Light, healing you for an attack-power-scaling amount (grows each rank).
CAPSTONE — ascend into a wrathful avatar: erupt with a Seal of Command nova that detonates all your banked Retribution Holy Charge for heavy STR-scaled holy damage on top of the blast, then burn with +30% damage and +20% attack speed for 12s.
Talent points are earned one per level from level 3, for 18 in total. Tiers unlock on points already spent in this specialization.
