Bornakk has announced on the official forums that an upcoming hotfix, which could go live as early as this afternoon, “will make the Paladin talent Vindication no longer reduce Intelligence or Stamina from the target it is applied to.”

According to the post, this change is meant to balance out the ability without reducing PvE DPS for Retribution Paladins. The tooltip will not be corrected until the next major content patch. Bornakk’s full post can be found after the jump.

“We are in the process of completing a hotfix that could go live as early as this afternoon that will make the Paladin talent Vindication no longer reduce Intelligence or Stamina from the target it is applied to. The talent will continue to reduce Agility, Spirit, and Strength as it currently does. We felt this change will help balance the ability out, especially in the lower arena brackets where they are very prominent, while not being a negative impact on a Retribution Paladin’s PvE dps.

Once this hotfix is live, the tooltip will be incorrect until we can update it in the next content patch.”
