Notes

• This ability essentially places the Paladin at a higher DPS bracket for the duration. It is useful in PvP and PvE alike as a way of causing huge burst damage in a small amount of time.
• Because of its powerful boost and well-known visual effect, Avenging Wrath is often just referred to as a paladin's "wings". For example; "he used his wings, so the other guy was killed in two seconds".
