Class · Tank, Healer, Damage

Paladin

Mana, plate, blessings and auras. Classic’s Alliance-only holy knight, raid-healing more often than not; Forever gives the class to the Forsaken. 51 talents in Holy, Protection, Retribution; 166 abilities; 12 trainers; 3 races, 1 new.

What Blizzard has said

Blizzard's own statements about the Paladin in Forever, then what it has said about every class, each tagged and sourced. The trees and abilities below are what the beta client carries, build 1.60.1.70755; they will move as the beta does.

  • Paladins gain Holy Strike at level 6 (an instant Holy weapon strike on a 12-second cooldown), Seals are no longer consumed by Judgment, Consecration is baseline at level 20, and Blessing of Kings is baseline. Seal of Fury gives Protection a tank Seal that favors fast weapons, grants small absorbs and makes Judgment a taunt. Paladins still lack an interrupt and a slow.

    Confirmed Blizzard — Deep Dive panel recap

  • Forsaken Paladins begin “deeply mistrusted by other Forsaken” at Bandarion Keep in the Whispering Wood of Tirisfal Glades, and at level 60 ride their epic charger “in the name of Retribution” where Alliance Paladins ride for Redemption.

    Confirmed Blizzard — Found Photos panel recap Blizzard — Collector’s Edition post

  • Since the October 1 beta build, Holy Shield adds 30% block chance and Redoubt 4 to 20% by rank, and Retribution’s Champion of the Light turns 20/40/60% of Intellect into spell damage. Its old tooltip claimed healing, which Blizzard says it never gave.

    Confirmed Blizzard — WoW Forever Beta Development Notes, October 1

  • The final class deep dive gives Paladins Twist of Light, Retribution’s new 31-point gold medal talent that replaces baseline Seal Twisting, and Templar’s Bulwark, Protection’s new 21-point one: an instant ability on a 5-minute cooldown that shields for 100% of max health for 8 seconds and applies Forbearance. Seal of Fury’s Judgement taunt reaches 10 yards, twice the 5 yards of Warrior Taunt or Druid Growl. Talents open at level 10, gold medal talents land at 11, 16, 21 and 31, and Dual Specialization unlocks at 40.

    Confirmed Blizzard — Class Deep Dives: Paladin

  • Since the October 15 beta build, Blessing of Salvation and Greater Blessing of Salvation are Salvation and Mass Salvation, which no longer exclude other blessings, and Revoke removes them. Reckoning stores up to 4 charges for your next swing, Consecration’s coefficient per tick falls to 0.042 and Champion of the Light gives 10, 20 or 30% of Intellect as Spell Damage.

    Confirmed Blizzard — WoW Forever Beta Development Notes, October 15

  • Since the November 2 beta build, Salvation, Mass Salvation and Revoke are removed. Righteous Fury now trains at level 10 and grants a flat 33% threat increase plus 90% more from Holy damage, and six new talents arrive across the trees: Oath of Light and Boundless Light in Holy, Stoicism and Shieldsworn in Protection, and Turn Evil and Unsealed Wrath, the new 31-point talent, in Retribution.

    Confirmed Blizzard — WoW Forever Beta Development Notes, November 2

  • Blizzard’s Deep Dive recap names six new race and class combinations: Gnome Priest, Human Hunter, Dwarf Shaman, Orc Mage, Troll Warlock and Undead Paladin, “with more planned for future updates.”

    Confirmed Blizzard — Deep Dive panel recap

  • Blizzard’s race and class chart (22 September) lists every pairing Forever offers, one chart per faction: Classic’s pairings, the six new ones, and the Skyborne on both sides, as Windshaper Shaman for the Horde or High Order Mages for the Alliance.

    Confirmed Blizzard — race and class chart

  • Talent trees keep Classic’s structure: the same number of rows, milestone talents at 11, 21 and 31 points, and a new 16-point milestone. Some talents are unchanged from patch 1.12, some adjusted, and key class buffs (Divine Spirit, Blessing of Kings, Improved Mark of the Wild) are now baseline. Each race gets two active and two passive racial abilities, reworked to be stronger and more distinct.

    Confirmed Blizzard — Deep Dive panel recap

  • Combat keeps Classic’s pace: an ordinary creature takes a solo player “roughly 10–15 seconds to defeat,” crowd control still matters in dungeons, and damage dealers still respect threat. Spell, melee and ranged hit chance are combined into one stat, as are the three crit chances. Paladins are the first class detailed; “more class and race details are planned through future videos and articles.”

    Confirmed Blizzard — Deep Dive panel recap

  • Blizzard: class identity “remains central,” with “new abilities, new race and class combinations, and updates designed to preserve the feel of the original game.” The updates “focus on talents and abilities you notice, meaningful trade-offs, and reasons to value what each class brings.”

    Confirmed Blizzard — What’s Next panel recap

  • The Battle.net Shop describes “updated class design” and “an expanded list of race and class options, including Dwarf Shaman and Forsaken Paladin.”

    Confirmed Battle.net Shop — product page

  • Every class is being revisited from the original game, Blizzard says: the foundation players remember stays, and the updates aim to give more choice, a stronger identity and room to experiment.

    Confirmed Blizzard — Class Deep Dives: Hunter and Druid

  • Changing talents, Legacy talents included, takes a visit to a class trainer in a major city, and Dual Specialization opens at level 40.

  • Blizzard intends to review whether party buffs, Shaman totems among them, should remain party-wide, Wowhead reported on 5 October from Blizzard’s latest podcast.

    Confirmed Wowhead — What’s best for WoW: Forever, party buffs or raid buffs?

  • Blizzard says it isn’t modernizing Forever’s classes. It errs toward simpler classes with engaging depth: some Classic classes that were too simple have gained a few mechanics, and it wants to keep the original’s pacing and combat speed, Blizzard told TechRadar.

    Confirmed TechRadar — interview with Blizzard: classes, respecs and encounters

  • Keeping each class feeling distinct, rather than letting them blur together, matters most, Blizzard’s Clay Stone told Inven Global: every spec should have a reason to exist, even if it is not the best pick for every fight.

    Confirmed Inven Global — interview with Holly Longdale and Clay Stone

  • In the November 2 beta build, Blizzard raised damage across every class and raised high-level creature health to compensate, moving away from holding classes to Classic’s power budgets because it left some abilities feeling lackluster. The stated goal is not perfect numerical equality between classes, but making every class feel valuable to the groups it joins.

    Confirmed Blizzard — WoW Forever Beta Development Notes, November 2

  • Blizzard does not plan further big class tuning changes before the raids open in December, aside from bugs or serious outliers, and expects a large tuning pass once there is data from players leveling past 30 across a wide range of content.

Talents (51 talents, 139 ranks)

The three trees as the Forever beta client holds them, row by row: each row opens after the points its label names have been spent in that tree, and a talent that needs another says so. Every rank's sentence is the client's own, its numbers filled in. Talents marked changed differ from Classic in their wording, ranks, place or prerequisite, and show Classic's wording underneath; new ones have no Classic counterpart. Classic talents a tree no longer has close each column.
