Overview
One of the most powerful abilities in the Paladin arsenal, Avenging Wrath is the culmination of a Paladin's offensive abilities. Sacrificing the ability to call forth their invulnerability shields, Paladins become weapons of the Light while under the influence of this tremendous power, granting them golden wings and great might. One must be at their highest level of connection to the Light to use this skill.
Functionality
Does exactly what the description says: All damage caused by the Paladin, Holy, Physical or otherwise, is amplified by 30% for the duration of the spell. This multiplier is applied directly to the Melee damage amount, though bonus spell damage is affected after being dealt by a spell.

Notes
Causes Forebearance, preventing [Divine Shield] or [Blessing of Protection] from being cast for 1 minute. In addition, it is dispellable and easily recognized by enemy players due to the giant golden wings protruding from the Paladin's back, and thus should be used with caution around Shamans (purge) Priests (dispel) and perhaps worst of all, Mages (whose spellsteal can give them the great benefits of this spell, making them even more powerful).
Tips and Tactics
This ability essentially places the Paladin at a higher DPS bracket for the duration. It suits Retribution Paladins best due to their already relatively hightened damage abilities, but is useful in PvP and PvE alike as a way of causing huge burst damage in a small amount of time.
