http://www.blogcdn.com/www.wow.com/media/2009/06/zz3fcc5ddc.pngA hotfix is in the work (http://blue.mmo-champion.com/5/17631617432-vindication-talent-change.html)s for the Retribution Paladin talent Vindication (http://wowhead.com/?spell=26016). When the fix goes live ("as early as this afternoon"), Vindication will no longer reduce the Intellect or Stamina of affected targets. It will continue to reduce Agility, Spirit, and Strength. As usual, tooltips will not immediately update to reflect this change; the tooltips will be incorrect until they can be fixed in a content patch.

Bornakk says (http://blue.mmo-champion.com/5/17631617432-vindication-talent-change.html) this fix was put in place to address Retribution paladins being "very prominent" in PvP, "especially in the lower Arena brackets," without hurting Ret PvE DPS. Nerfing a class based on performance in lower brackets seems a little weird to me, but whatever. We did have some rumblings that something like this was coming - a PvP nerf that doesn't affect PvE. This certainly covers those bases. It leaves Vindication a pretty lackluster talent, though. Will you still keep it in your talent spec?
