Benediction was a Paladin talent formerly located in the first tier of the Retribution tree.
Affected Spells[]
The first 5 points a Retribution Paladin generally spent were in this talent, as all of a Paladin's outgoing attacks are instant casts; Judgments, Exorcism, Divine Storm, Crusader Strike, Consecration, Hammer of Justice, Hammer of Wrath, Repentance. This was of huge benefit for long running fights.
This talent was also useful to Holy Paladins, as it would reduce the mana cost of [Holy Shock], instant Flash of Lights, Seals, Blessings and Judgements. It would also lower the cost of [Beacon of Light] which could be highly mana inefficient when kept up for long fights.
Protection Paladins would generally skip this talent in favor of Deflection, given that their mana levels could be well managed through [Spiritual Attunement], [Divine Plea], [Judgement of Wisdom] and [Blessing of Sanctuary]. Still, it could be a lifesaver when the Paladin was low on mana and needed to cast a spell to prevent a wipe, as a Paladin tank's mana pool is drained very fast when not under any special mana-regeneration effects.
