WoW Forever Paladin Guide: How to Start
Willo
Paladins are holy warriors who can tank, heal or fight in melee. In WoW Forever, they get Holy Strike early, Consecration at level 20 for everyone, a tanking seal, Seal of Fury, and Judgement no longer uses up your Seal. Retribution's top talent, Unsealed Wrath, stores your Seal as you swing. And the Horde can finally be Paladins, as Undead.

What's new for Paladins in WoW Forever?
- Holy Strike, a new baseline attack, early on.
- Consecration learned by all Paladins at level 20.
- Seal of Fury (level 10), the tank seal; its Judgement taunts.
- Judgement no longer uses up your Seal.
- Lay on Hands cooldown is 20 minutes.
- Blessing of Kings is baseline.
- Unsealed Wrath, Retribution's 31-point talent: your attacks store your active Seal, and hitting with a different Seal gives each stored copy its normal chance to go off.
- Blizzard's take: Holy is the strongest single-target healer, Protection gets new survival cooldowns, and Retribution deals steady melee damage.

Beginner tips
- Paladins are very strong against Undead and Demons.
- They have no interrupt and no slow, and little range: close the gap and stay close.
Which race?
Guides lean Human for Alliance; for the Horde, Undead is the only option. Best race for every class.
An Undead Paladin?
A Forsaken wielding the Light is one of WoW Forever's most surprising new combos. Ask me what the Forsaken think about that. Forsaken vs. Scourge.
