Retribution is, at its most basic level, the damage dealing spec for Paladins. Retribution is a 2h-weapon-using, melee class that uses mana and a system of charges called Holy Power to damage a target.
Holy Power was introduced at the very end of Wrath of the Lich King with patch 4.0. Holy Power is generated by a slew of the Paladin's main damage abilities and is used to increase damage through the self-buff Inquisition and the ability Templar's Verdict.
