Paladins are plate hybrids that heal, tank and fight in melee with Seals and Judgement. Forever overhauls them heavily: Holy Shock is a level 30 Holy talent and the new Light's Vigil (a level 40 talent) turns it into group healing, Protection gets Seal of Fury, Judgement of Fury, Swift Judgement, Templar's Bulwark and trainer-taught Hammer of the Righteous, and Retribution gains Holy Strike, Sacred Arbiter and the level 40 Twist of Light talent, whose seal echoes make seal twisting official. Consecration and Blessing of Kings are trainer abilities at level 20.

Holy Paladin PvE guide

Holy is the Paladin's healing spec. At level 20 you heal one target at a time with Holy Light and Flash of Light, and you have no group heal, so the tank always comes first. In Forever, Holy Light is both your biggest and your most Mana-efficient heal, and Reverence lets part of your Mana regeneration continue while you cast. At 30 the healing build reaches Holy Shock, an instant heal.

Your job in a group

You are the group's healer. Keep the tank alive with Holy Light, top up everyone else with Flash of Light or a low rank of Holy Light, and remove poisons and diseases with Purify. You have no group heal and no interrupt at 20, but Hammer of Justice stuns a caster or an enemy that reaches you. You also bring Devotion Aura for the party, a Blessing for each player (Wisdom for casters, Might for melee), Blessing of Protection for a party member who pulls an enemy off the tank, Lay on Hands for an emergency, and Redemption to bring the dead back after a fight. Pulling is the tank's job; yours is to stay in range and keep enough Mana for the next pull.

Opener

• Blessing of Wisdom: On yourself before the pull. Rank 1 restores 12 mana every 5 seconds for 1 hour, which adds up over a whole dungeon.
• Blessing of Might: On melee party members; give other casters Blessing of Wisdom. Each player can hold only one of your Blessings.
• Devotion Aura: Keep it running. Rank 3 gives 275 extra armor to party members within 30 yards.
• Holy Light: Wait until the tank has hit the enemies a few times, then start with a rank that fits the damage. Rank 3 heals 142 to 168.
• Flash of Light: Only when a heal has to land fast. Rank 1 heals just 43 to 49.

Cooldowns

• Divine Protection: If enemies turn on you. Rank 2 makes you immune to attacks and spells for 8 sec, and its tooltip only stops attacks and physical abilities, so you can keep healing.
• Blessing of Protection: Save a party member who isn't tanking from physical attacks for 6 sec. They can't attack while it lasts, so never put it on the tank.
• Lay on Hands: Heals the target for an amount equal to your maximum health, but drains all your Mana. Use it only when someone is about to die.
• Hammer of Justice: Stun a caster, or an enemy that is hitting you, for 3 sec so the tank can take it back.

Stats

Healing Power, Intellect, Mana per 5 sec, Spirit, Stamina, Critical Strike. Healing Power adds to every heal, and Holy Light takes a large share of it (its spell power coefficient is 0.714, against 0.429 for Flash of Light). Intellect and Mana per 5 sec come next, because at 20 you run out of Mana long before you run out of time. Critical Strike matters little yet: Illumination, which returns Mana on critical heals, can't be reached until 25.

Tips

• Holy Light rank 3 heals 142 to 168 and is more Mana-efficient than Flash of Light rank 1 (43 to 49). Don't bring the Classic habit of spamming Flash of Light.
• Cast a lower rank of Holy Light when the tank needs only a little. Overhealing is wasted Mana, and Mana is what ends your dungeon runs at this level.
• Each player can hold only one Aura and one Blessing from you. Blessing of Protection and Blessing of Freedom replace that player's other Blessing from you, so re-buff after the fight.
• Divine Protection and Blessing of Protection both apply Forbearance for 1 min, and neither can be used while it is active. Using one blocks the other.
• Holy Light and Flash of Light have a 40 yd range. Stand where you can see the tank, but far enough back that enemies reach the tank first.

Protection Paladin PvE guide

Protection is the Paladin tank. Forever gives it Seal of Fury, whose swings deal Holy damage and, with a shield, grant small absorb shields, and whose Judgement taunts. From 25, the Swift Judgement talent gives you a second taunt right away. No trainer teaches Righteous Fury yet, so threat builds slowly; at 20, Consecration and Retribution Aura are how you hold a whole pack.

Your job in a group

You tank. Pull, hold threat with Seal of Fury, Judgement, Holy Strike, Consecration and Retribution Aura, and taunt loose enemies back with Judgement (Seal of Fury's Judgement taunts) and, from 25, Swift Judgement. You have no interrupt; Hammer of Justice is your only way to stop a cast. Pull at a pace your healer's Mana allows, and turn enemies away from the group. You bring Devotion Aura or Retribution Aura for the party, a Blessing for each player, and Lay on Hands and Blessing of Protection for emergencies.

Opener

• Blessing of Kings: On yourself before the pull: 10% more total stats for 1 hour.
• Seal of Fury: Before the pull, with a shield on. It lasts 30 sec and Judgement doesn't use it up, so you rarely recast it mid-fight.
• Retribution Aura: On pulls of more than one enemy: every enemy that strikes a party member within 30 yards takes Holy damage, which builds threat on the whole pack. Use Devotion Aura on single enemies.
• Judgement: Open on the main target: Holy damage plus a taunt from Seal of Fury.
• Consecration: Once the pack is on you: every enemy in it takes Holy damage over 8 sec, and the first 4 take extra. It is expensive at 20, so save it for real packs.
• Holy Strike: On cooldown for extra damage and threat. It costs very little Mana.

Cooldowns

• Hammer of Justice: Stun a caster, or an enemy you can't taunt back in time, for 3 sec.
• Divine Protection: Only when you are about to die: you are immune for 8 sec, but you can't attack, so enemies may turn to your healer. It applies Forbearance.
• Lay on Hands: Heal yourself or the healer for an amount equal to your maximum health. It drains all your Mana, so it is a last resort.
• Blessing of Protection: On a party member who pulled an enemy off you: 6 sec of immunity to physical attacks, but they can't attack either.

Stats

Defense, Stamina, Armor, Block Value, Hit, Strength, Spell Power, Intellect. Defense, Stamina and armor keep you alive through the mistakes a level 20 group makes, and Defense stacks on top of Anticipation's Defense Skill. Hit matters because every missed swing is Seal of Fury damage, absorbs and threat you don't get. Blizzard's notes say Retribution Aura now scales with your spell power, which helps you hold packs, though a known issue in the 1 October build makes it use the target's spell power instead of yours. Intellect keeps Seal of Fury, Judgement and Consecration going until Shield Specialization's Mana on block reaches full strength at rank 3.

Tips

• Keep a shield on: Seal of Fury only gives absorb shields while a shield is equipped.
• No trainer teaches Righteous Fury in the current client, so you have no threat bonus. Ask your group to give you a few seconds before they attack.
• Judgement's range is only 10 yd, so taunting a loose enemy means walking toward it. From 25, the Swift Judgement talent resets the cooldown for a second taunt right away.
• Divine Protection stops you attacking, so it costs threat. Save it for when you would otherwise die.
• Heal yourself with Holy Light between pulls to save your healer's Mana for the fights.

Retribution Paladin PvE guide

Retribution is the Paladin's two-handed damage spec. From 20, Seal of Command adds Holy damage to your swings, and because Judgement no longer uses up your seal, you Judge on cooldown. Forever adds Holy Strike, an instant strike, and Blizzard has since cut its cooldown to 10 seconds and raised the weapon damage of every rank after the first.

Your job in a group

You deal melee damage. Seal of the Crusader's Judgement makes elites and bosses take more Holy damage for 40 sec, which helps you and any other Holy damage dealer. You have no interrupt, but Hammer of Justice stuns a caster, and a stunned target takes far more from Seal of Command's Judgement. You bring Blessing of Might for melee and Blessing of Wisdom for casters, an aura, Purify for poisons and diseases, and Lay on Hands, Blessing of Protection and Redemption as backup for the healer. Let the tank pull and hit first: nothing in your build lowers your threat.

Opener

• Blessing of Might: On yourself and other melee before the pull. Rank 2 at 12 adds 25 melee attack power for 1 hour.
• Seal of the Crusader: On elites and bosses only. Its Judgement lasts 40 sec, and your melee strikes keep it refreshed.
• Judgement: Judge Seal of the Crusader once the tank has the enemy's attention.
• Seal of Command: Switch to it right after and keep it up; it lasts 30 sec.
• Holy Strike: On cooldown from the first swing. It is a cheap instant hit with weapon and Holy damage.

Cooldowns

• Hammer of Justice: Stun, then Judge: Seal of Command's Judgement deals 93 to 101 Holy damage to a stunned target instead of 48. It also stops a caster for 3 sec.
• Exorcism: On cooldown against Undead and Demons. It does nothing to other targets.
• Lay on Hands: Save the healer or tank when they are about to die. It drains all your Mana, but you can keep swinging without it.
• Blessing of Protection: Save a caster an enemy has reached. They can't attack while it lasts.

Stats

Weapon DPS, Strength, Hit, Critical Strike, Agility, Stamina, Intellect. Seal of Command's bonus and Holy Strike are both based on weapon damage, so a slow, hard-hitting two-hander matters most. Strength adds attack power, and hit keeps your swings, and the seal procs that ride on them, landing. Critical Strike gains value at 30, where Vengeance turns your critical strikes into a damage bonus. Intellect pays for your seals and Judgements.

Tips

• Use the slowest two-handed weapon you can find. Seal of Command's proc deals Holy damage equal to 70% of weapon damage, so bigger hits mean bigger procs.
• Judgement no longer uses up your seal in Forever. Judge on cooldown instead of saving it.
• Seal of the Crusader's Judgement lasts 40 sec in Forever instead of Classic's 10, and your swings refresh it, so one Judgement covers most fights.
• Judgement and Hammer of Justice have only a 10 yd range. Stay in melee rather than stepping back and forth.
• Exorcism only works on Undead and Demons, so check the target type before you spend Mana on it.
