I should not have to, and it is impossible to change my mind.

I don’t think anyone is going to try tbh. Ret gets it for free, and both Holy and Prot can easily ignore it whilst still having paths to get Rebuke etc.
If I was playing DF I’d do the same with Devotion Aura as Ret as Ret Aura is required for throughput anyway.

but its so good it makes you zoom super fast across the map with aura mastery!

true but I feel like I should not have to talent into it

“Why is no one having a good time? I specifically requested it.” - our Paladin designer, presumably.
I get having some of our spells going into the Talent Tree, but we’ve had so much removed from us over the years, and had so little offered back to us, they had to go after the bread and butter. We’ll have to spend a point to get our Holy spell graphics next time.

I think it’s absurd that I have to waste a talent point on something as basic and fundamental to all paladin specs as Crusader Aura. It just seems so ridiculous to me.

Honestly, the developers really dropped the ball with not making us talent into our specific weapon specialisations lmao
You finally work out your perfect Prot build with all the talents you wanted, only to find out you accidentally missed “Shield Specialisation - Allows you to equip and use shields” lol

You say that like they ever had a ball. It’s like Blizz tried to divvy out tasks and the dev just didn’t take it and just sat there staring at his assignment as it sat on the ground.

Completely agreed. Auras should not even BE IN the talent tree, but the Paladin class tree is quite a disaster.

I’m still upset that they removed the Crusader passive to give it to us as a stupid aura. At this point, I think that we should personally get all the benefits of our auras at all times, and then be able to extend them to our groups by selecting specific auras. As the “cavalry unit” of the game, why do we have to put on an aura to ride faster?

I honestly wish they would have deleted devo aura, then baked devo into every other aura baseline. At this point theres really only 1 aura per spec. Holy/prot is devo and retribution is ret aura.

Yeah I was half-expecting someone to mention Concentration Aura in another thread lmao. Jesus Christ, some of the Blizzard simps really reach. If they played MoP Retribution, or even remember it at all, that was the best version of Retribution that I experienced. I didn’t play WoD though. Legion was pretty good because we had way more value in our talents and we had Ashbringer, and the systems within Legion helped us stay competitive. Not sure about BfA.

Agreed 100%, auras are such basic functionality for the paladin class that it feels like a slap in the face to make me spec into it.
Yep and it feels awful. Two auras between three specs, rough stuff.

I mean, that would be the true nod to classic talents right? Back when you had to take shield block talents to make shields useful.
