Paladin Retribution Macros

Ready-to-paste macros for Retribution Paladin: the burst key derived from the current top parses, plus the macros this spec actually uses. Spell names follow the language you pick on this site, so they match your game client.

Retribution's burst key is built around Avenging Wrath, which appeared in the sampled top openings for every scene. Each scene draws on three top-ranked WarcraftLogs openings. Raid bosses start with Blade of Justice, and Avenging Wrath cleared the two-of-three bar; Mythic+ single-target pulls look the same. Mythic+ AoE pulls start with Judgment, with the bar at one opener out of three. All three versions add trinket /use lines, so one key handles wings plus trinkets regardless of content, with only the opening cast changing. Most spec macros follow one pattern, [@mouseover,noharm,exists][]: the spell goes to the friendly unit under your cursor, or to your target when you are not hovering anyone. That covers Blessing of Protection, Blessing of Freedom, Blessing of Sacrifice and Cleanse Toxins, so you can save a party member straight from their frame. Lay on Hands adds stopcasting first so it never queues behind a cast. Intercession only takes a mouseover unit that is dead, and Rebuke goes to your focus when it is hostile and alive, otherwise to your target. Paste into a new macro and match spell names to your client language.

A macro can fire only one global-cooldown ability per press — that is the game's limit, not ours. So a burst key is exactly: on-use trinkets + the off-GCD cooldowns top players press in their opener + one opener spell. Nothing else fits.

Off-GCD cooldowns pressed within the first 8 casts by at least 2 of the 3 sampled players, defensives and movement removed. Ends with the first on-GCD opener so everything fires in one press.

Slot 13 / 14: the data cannot tell which slot the on-use trinket sits in, so both are listed; the passive one just prints cannot use.
