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.
