  • Hand of Reckoning
  • Taunted.
  • Duration: 3 seconds

Hand of Reckoning is both a taunt and a pulling tool, available from trainers at level 16. It has a 30-yard range.

This is the single-target taunt for Paladins, widely-requested due to the somewhat complicated use of Righteous Defense, and it does not use the global cooldown.

Note[]

  • Hand of Reckoning is a spell. It can't be cast when silenced, but based off testing on Growl and Dark Command, no longer suffers from miss chance when cast by a level 80 vs a boss-quality mob. Prior to Patch 4.0.1, it had a 17% chance to miss raid bosses (in contrast to the 8% chance to miss boss mobs for melee attacks). Prior to Patch 4.0.1, even if you were melee hit-capped (263 hit rating at level 80), Hand of Reckoning's chance to miss was still 7.0%. This gap was covered with [Glyph of Righteous Defense] (removed in Patch 4.0.1).
