This year's CitizenCon was a two-day event and apparently the biggest show Cloud Imperium Games has put on for its cautionary tale about scope creep in MMO form. It wasn't all engine demos and new ships for Star Citizen, however, with Cloud Imperium's singleplayer game, Squadron 42, finally ready to be shown again.
Retribution Paladin Rework in Review - AoE Trade-Offs, Scaling, and Patch 10.2
03.10.2023 - 12:11 / wowhead.com
Retribution Paladins received a massive rework in Patch 10.0.7, but have seen fewer adjustments to address the follow-up issues that have become more apparent over the course of the expansion. Our Retribution Writer, Bolas, discusses what issues have arisen since the rework and how the spec might perform in 10.2.

Dragonflight: Guardians of the Dream Update Development Notes
- PALADIN
Retribution
Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope Set Bonus – Divine Toll is now guaranteed to target at least one valid enemy with Expurgation. - Fixed a few targeting issues that caused Wrathful Sanction to trigger multiple times on one Judgment cast.
- Fixed an issue causing unintentional Divine Purpose and Empyrean Power proc consumption.
- Developers’ note: Due to previous bugs with targeting issues on Wrathful Sanction, the ability was a bit undertuned. Following these bug fixes, we’re retuning the set bonus to better hit our tuning targets for the set bonus. Additionally, with the amount of uptime that the 4-set bonus provides, it was overperfoming in tandem with a few of the Retribution talents located deeper in the tree. We appreciate everyone’s feedback and playtesting and we’ll keep making adjustments to this sets power as necessary over the course of PTR.
- Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope (2) Set Bonus – Expurgation now deals 30% increased damage (was 50%). Wrathful Sanction now deals 50% of the main Holy damage to up to 4 nearby enemies (was 20%).
- Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope (4) Set Bonus – Echoes of Wrath now causes your next Templar’s Verdict and Divine Storm to deal damage a second time for 25% effectiveness (was 50%).
- Blade of Vengeance now functions as an addition to your single target Blade of Justice rather than replacing it.
It might seem a little strange to write an article about Ret at the moment, given that there have been no new changes to the spec in a while now. However to me this also makes it a pretty good opportunity for it, since due to the lack of updates a lot of issues that have become apparent more recently are still unaddressed. With 10.2 fast approaching, here's a rundown on how the spec has fared in Aberrus and what I hope to see improved on before next tier.
Since the 10.0.7 Rework
The rework fixed a lot of the most glaring issues the spec had, past any throughput concerns. Ret has had some difficulties in the past with managing to deal with basic encounter mechanics in all content, since for a long time it was both one of the least mobile specs as well as having some of the worst defensive capabilities in the game. Now, Ret is arguably one of the

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 review: A more Venom-ous bite
Spider-Man 2 has a lot to live up to. The first game was one of the most entertaining PS4 titles and gave players the full experience of being Spider-Man, swinging around New York city to their hearts’ content. Could the sequel offer the same joy, beauty and an equally interesting story while delivering on the dual-protagonist concept? Yes, yes it can — though Insomniac skimped on a couple of areas they shouldn’t have.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 review: The rare game that's both bigger and better
For my money, web-swinging around New York City in Marvel’s Spider-Man is perhaps the singular best game mechanic I’ve come across in the last decade or so. It feels so incredibly right, and almost everything else in that game is built off it. I never really wanted to use fast-travel features, because swinging around was much more fun, and finding hidden missions and helping citizens in trouble as you traverse NYC is almost as rewarding as following the game’s main story. Of course, a great mechanic isn’t enough to make a great game, but Spider-Man is one of the most successful open-world style games I can think of, because it felt packed without being overwhelming.
