+ | === Auras === |
||
+ | Auras are buffs that benefit the Paladin as well as raid and party members within 40 yards. There are a wide variety of Auras, but only one Aura can be activated on the Paladin at any one time. If there are other Paladins in the group, the same Aura's effects do not stack, but different Auras can be used to further strengthen the group. Changing Auras does not cost mana, but does trigger the global cooldown. Therefore it is not feasible to change Auras just to absorb a certain magic school (such as Devotion Aura to Resistance Aura to absorb a single [[Shadowbolt]]), then reverting back to the previous one. These Auras are very much support buffs that make grouping easier, but they are not so vital that they are the key factor in determining whether the group will succeed or fail. |

||
+ | |||
+ | === Blessings === |
||
+ | Paladins have 2 powerful Blessings, which provide 60 minute buffs. Like Auras, only one Blessing can affect a target per Paladin. This means two Paladins cannot cast the same Blessing on a target, but two different Blessings on a target is possible. |

||
+ | |} |
||
+ | |||
+ | === Hands === |
||
+ | Hand spells are used in very situational events. When used correctly, these Hand spell effects are very powerful, especially in a Player versus Player environment. Only one Hand spell can be cast per Paladin on a target at any one time. |

||
+ | |} |
||
+ | |||
+ | === Judgements === |
||
+ | [[File:spell_holy_righteousfury.png|32px]] [[Judgement]] instantly deals damage to an enemy target, and will often trigger secondary effects depending on talent specialization. Judgement cannot be used without an active Seal, and damage dealt is dependent on which seal is active. Judgement has an 8 second cooldown. Since Judgement is a staple of the Paladin's combat system, it is a highly used spell if the Paladin is utilizing melee potential. |
||
+ | ==== Improvements to Judgement ==== |
||
+ | ''Judgement can be improved by talents in the following ways: |
||
+ | * {{ability|Arbiter of the Light}} - Increased critical strike chance. |
||
+ | * {{ability|Judgements of the Pure}} - Judging a target grants you increased attack and casting speed. |
||
+ | * {{ability|Enlightened Judgements}} - Increases Judgement's range, and causes your Judgement to instantly heal you. |
||
+ | * {{ability|Wrath of the Lightbringer}} - Increases damage. |
||
+ | * {{ability|Improved Judgement}} - Increases range. |
||
+ | * {{ability|Long Arm of the Law}} - Judging a far-away target has up to a 100% chance to increase your run speed. |
||
+ | * {{ability|Communion}} - Judging a target causes {{ability|Replenishment}}. |
||
+ | * {{ability|Divine Purpose}} - Your Judgement has a chance to grant you [[Holy Power]]. |
||
+ | |||
+ | === Seals === |
||
+ | Seals are Paladin self-buffs that trigger upon melee attacks. They are instant cast and last 30 minutes; only one Seal can be used by the Paladin at a time. |
||
+ | |||
+ | {| class="darktable" style="text-align: center;" |

||
+ | '''[[Seal of Righteousness]]''' |
||
+ | | 3 |
||
+ | | Protection |
||
+ | | style="text-align: left;" | Adds constant Holy damage per swing. ''The Holy damage dealt by this spell can be increased by up to 12% with {{ability|Seals of the Pure}}. <br /> |
||
+ | Note: The additional Holy damage cannot be estimated as it varies depending on weapon speed, [[attack power]] and [[spell power]]. The in-game tooltip values will change immediately as the Paladin changes weapon. <br /> |
||
+ | Adds a constant amount of Holy damage per melee hit on the target. The extra damage may be small at lower levels, but a generous +spell damage coefficient can add a significant amount of damage per melee hit, often doubling melee damage output. This is a standard Seal to use for damage, and is commonly used for tanking at lower levels. Holy damage added by the Seal is normalised across all weapon speeds, with slower weapons adding more Holy damage per hit than faster ones. The benefit from [[spell power]] is not constant, but increases with slower weapon speed. Therefore slower weapons gain extra spell damage than fast ones, with a further bonus if the weapon is two-handed instead of one. The extra holy damage cannot crit. Can be superior to [[Seal of Vengeance]] for shorter fights or PvP, but if given time to stack, Vengeance will outperform Righteousness. |

||
+ | '''[[Seal of Insight]]''' |
||
+ | | 32 |
||
+ | | Holy |
||
+ | | style="text-align: left;" | Fills the Paladin with divine power for 30 min, giving each single-target melee attack a chance to heal the Paladin for (0.15 * AP.15 * holy power) and restore 4% of the paladin's base mana. Only one Seal can be active on the Paladin at any one time. <br /> |
||
+ | Unleashing this Seal's energy will deal (1 + 0.25 * holy power.16 * AP) Holy damage to an enemy. |
||
+ | |- class="alt" |
||
+ | ! [[File:Spell Holy SealOfVengeance.png|32px]]!! |
||
+ | '''[[Seal of Truth]]''' |
||
+ | | 44 |
||
+ | | Retribution |
||
+ | | style="text-align: left;" | Leaves a stacking [[Damage_over_Time|DoT]] debuff that deals holy damage and stacks to 5. In addition, deals 16% additional weapon damage as Holy after 5 stacks of the debuff with critical strikes dealling double damage. <br /> |
||
+ | This Seal is for PvE Retribution and Protection. It is ideal for tanking, but takes extra time to generate high levels of threat compared to [[Seal of Righteousness|Righteousness]]. In most fights longer than a few seconds, ''SoV'' will deal more damage than [[Seal of Righteousness|''SoR'']]. The additional 16% Holy damage from a melee hit on a 5-stack [[Censure]]-inflicted target can critically hit at melee critical damage, with critical rate equal to the Paladin's melee critical chance. |
||
+ | |- |
||
+ | ! [[File:Spell Holy SealOfWrath.png|32px]]!! |
||
+ | '''[[Seal of Justice]]''' |
||
+ | | 64 |
||
+ | | Protection |
||
+ | | style="text-align: left;" | Causes each melee hit to limit target's move speed to 100% for 5 seconds and cause a minor amount of Holy damage. Seal of Justice is effective in PvP against classes capable of increasing their movement speed through abilities such as {{ability|Sprint}} or {{ability|Travel Form}}. |

||
+ | | Protection |
||
+ | | style="text-align: left;" | Cast it on a friendly target, commanding up to 3 enemies to attack you instead. |
||
+ | Righteous Defense is a cost-free, long-range taunt. Similar to warriors' [[Taunt]], Righteous Defense force the mobs to attack you for three seconds regardless of their threat list, at the same time give you the same threat level as the one with the highest threat on their threat list. You can also cast Righteous Defense on an enemy mob, which will taunt the target mob plus two more mobs that are attacking target mob's target. |
||
+ | |} |
||
+ | |||
+ | ==Abilities by Function== |
||
+ | This section is under review for removal. |
||
+ | |||
+ | === Protection === |
||
+ | Paladins have several protective blessings at their disposal for use on group members: Hand of Protection, which will temporarily protect a member from all physical damage; Hand of Sacrifice, which will send a small part of damage taken from the target player and send it to the paladin unmitigated; Hand of Freedom, which will make the target player immune to movement hampering effects; and Hand of Salvation, which will reduce the threat of the target player. |
||
+ | |||
+ | === Tanking === |
||
+ | [[Seal of Truth]] is the preferred seal to use when tanking. It takes a slightly longer time to build up threat than [[Seal of Righteousness]] but will eventually deal more Holy damage. |
||
+ | |||
+ | === Debuffs === |
||
+ | * [[Judgement of Light]], [[Judgement of Wisdom]] and [[Judgement of Justice]]) are the primary debuffs. |
||
+ | * [[Holy Vengeance]] is a damage-over-time debuff that causes Holy damage on the target every 3 seconds, and its effect can be stacked up to 5 times. It is applied while attacking with [[Seal of Vengeance]]/[[Seal of Corruption]] active. |
||
+ | * [[Vindication]] is a passive ability talent obtained in the Paladin's [[Paladin_talents#Retribution|Retribution tree]]. It reduces the target's attack power by 23/46 for 10 seconds. |
||
+ | |||
+ | === Area of Effect & Damage over Time === |
||
+ | Paladins have one universal AoE ability: [[Consecration]]. [[Holy Wrath]] is another paladin AoE ability (very effective against Undead and Demons). Consecration is also one of two of the Paladin's damage-over-time spells - the other being [[Holy Vengeance]] (from [[Seal of Truth]]). |
||
+ | |||
+ | === Direct Damage === |
||
+ | Paladins are a [[melee]] [[Hybrid]] [[class]], with no ability to use ranged weapons. They deal direct damage with weapons and also have damaging spells such as Exorcism, Holy Wrath and Holy Shock. There are various Seals, which deals holy damage with melee strike. When a Seal is active, Judgement spells can be used to do an amount of direct damage and apply a specific debuff to the mobs. Hammer of Wrath is a ranged spell usable on targets under 20% health and is instant cast; if the target heals or regenerates above 20% health at any time - even if the projectile is in flight - the spell will be cancelled. |
||
+ | |||
+ | Most of the paladin's damage is done within melee range. There are four paladin ranged attacks: [[Holy Shock]] (31-point Holy talent), [[Avenger's Shield]] (41-point Protection talent), [[Hammer of Wrath]] (only usable against targets under 20% health) and [[Exorcism]]. [[Enlightened Judgements]] increases the range of the Judgement spells by up to 30 yards. |

Abilities by Type
Auras
Auras are buffs that benefit the Paladin as well as raid and party members within 40 yards. There are a wide variety of Auras, but only one Aura can be activated on the Paladin at any one time. If there are other Paladins in the group, the same Aura's effects do not stack, but different Auras can be used to further strengthen the group. Changing Auras does not cost mana, but does trigger the global cooldown. Therefore it is not feasible to change Auras just to absorb a certain magic school (such as Devotion Aura to Resistance Aura to absorb a single Shadowbolt), then reverting back to the previous one. These Auras are very much support buffs that make grouping easier, but they are not so vital that they are the key factor in determining whether the group will succeed or fail.
- The range of your Auras can be increased by an additional 10 yards with the 3-piece bonus from Judgement Armor.
Blessings
Paladins have 2 powerful Blessings, which provide 60 minute buffs. Like Auras, only one Blessing can affect a target per Paladin. This means two Paladins cannot cast the same Blessing on a target, but two different Blessings on a target is possible.
Hands
Hand spells are used in very situational events. When used correctly, these Hand spell effects are very powerful, especially in a Player versus Player environment. Only one Hand spell can be cast per Paladin on a target at any one time.
Judgements
Judgement instantly deals damage to an enemy target, and will often trigger secondary effects depending on talent specialization. Judgement cannot be used without an active Seal, and damage dealt is dependent on which seal is active. Judgement has an 8 second cooldown. Since Judgement is a staple of the Paladin's combat system, it is a highly used spell if the Paladin is utilizing melee potential.
Improvements to Judgement
Judgement can be improved by talents in the following ways:
- [Arbiter of the Light] - Increased critical strike chance.
- [Judgements of the Pure] - Judging a target grants you increased attack and casting speed.
- [Enlightened Judgements] - Increases Judgement's range, and causes your Judgement to instantly heal you.
- [Wrath of the Lightbringer] - Increases damage.
- [Improved Judgement] - Increases range.
- [Long Arm of the Law] - Judging a far-away target has up to a 100% chance to increase your run speed.
- [Communion] - Judging a target causes [Replenishment].
- [Divine Purpose] - Your Judgement has a chance to grant you Holy Power.
Seals
Seals are Paladin self-buffs that trigger upon melee attacks. They are instant cast and last 30 minutes; only one Seal can be used by the Paladin at a time.
Icon | Aura | Level | Tree | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
3 | Protection | Adds constant Holy damage per swing. The Holy damage dealt by this spell can be increased by up to 12% with [Seals of the Pure]. Note: The additional Holy damage cannot be estimated as it varies depending on weapon speed, attack power and spell power. The in-game tooltip values will change immediately as the Paladin changes weapon. | ||
32 | Holy | Fills the Paladin with divine power for 30 min, giving each single-target melee attack a chance to heal the Paladin for (0.15 * AP.15 * holy power) and restore 4% of the paladin's base mana. Only one Seal can be active on the Paladin at any one time. Unleashing this Seal's energy will deal (1 + 0.25 * holy power.16 * AP) Holy damage to an enemy. | ||
44 | Retribution | Leaves a stacking DoT debuff that deals holy damage and stacks to 5. In addition, deals 16% additional weapon damage as Holy after 5 stacks of the debuff with critical strikes dealling double damage. This Seal is for PvE Retribution and Protection. It is ideal for tanking, but takes extra time to generate high levels of threat compared to Righteousness. In most fights longer than a few seconds, SoV will deal more damage than SoR. The additional 16% Holy damage from a melee hit on a 5-stack [Censure]-inflicted target can critically hit at melee critical damage, with critical rate equal to the Paladin's melee critical chance. | ||
64 | Protection | Causes each melee hit to limit target's move speed to 100% for 5 seconds and cause a minor amount of Holy damage. Seal of Justice is effective in PvP against classes capable of increasing their movement speed through abilities such as [Sprint] or File:Ability Druid TravelForm.png [Travel Form]. |
Threat Modifiers
Icon | Ability | Level | Tree | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
12 | Protection | A self-buff that lasts until cancelled and increases all threat generated by 200%. | ||
14 | Protection | Cast it on an enemy, forcing it to attack you for three seconds.
A very useful tool for pulling due to its 30 yard range, and a paladin's only single-target taunt that does not rely on the enemy targeting something else. | ||
36 | Protection | Cast it on a friendly target, commanding up to 3 enemies to attack you instead.
Righteous Defense is a cost-free, long-range taunt. Similar to warriors' Taunt, Righteous Defense force the mobs to attack you for three seconds regardless of their threat list, at the same time give you the same threat level as the one with the highest threat on their threat list. You can also cast Righteous Defense on an enemy mob, which will taunt the target mob plus two more mobs that are attacking target mob's target. |
Abilities by Function
This section is under review for removal.
Protection
Paladins have several protective blessings at their disposal for use on group members: Hand of Protection, which will temporarily protect a member from all physical damage; Hand of Sacrifice, which will send a small part of damage taken from the target player and send it to the paladin unmitigated; Hand of Freedom, which will make the target player immune to movement hampering effects; and Hand of Salvation, which will reduce the threat of the target player.
Tanking
[Seal of Truth] is the preferred seal to use when tanking. It takes a slightly longer time to build up threat than [Seal of Righteousness] but will eventually deal more Holy damage.
Debuffs
- [Judgement of Light], [Judgement of Wisdom] and [Judgement of Justice]) are the primary debuffs.
- Holy Vengeance is a damage-over-time debuff that causes Holy damage on the target every 3 seconds, and its effect can be stacked up to 5 times. It is applied while attacking with [Seal of Vengeance]/ [Seal of Corruption] active.
- [Vindication] is a passive ability talent obtained in the Paladin's Retribution tree. It reduces the target's attack power by 23/46 for 10 seconds.
Area of Effect & Damage over Time
Paladins have one universal AoE ability: [Consecration]. [Holy Wrath] is another paladin AoE ability (very effective against Undead and Demons). Consecration is also one of two of the Paladin's damage-over-time spells - the other being Holy Vengeance (from [Seal of Truth]).
Direct Damage
Paladins are a melee Hybrid class, with no ability to use ranged weapons. They deal direct damage with weapons and also have damaging spells such as Exorcism, Holy Wrath and Holy Shock. There are various Seals, which deals holy damage with melee strike. When a Seal is active, Judgement spells can be used to do an amount of direct damage and apply a specific debuff to the mobs. Hammer of Wrath is a ranged spell usable on targets under 20% health and is instant cast; if the target heals or regenerates above 20% health at any time - even if the projectile is in flight - the spell will be cancelled.
Most of the paladin's damage is done within melee range. There are four paladin ranged attacks: [Holy Shock] (31-point Holy talent), [Avenger's Shield] (41-point Protection talent), [Hammer of Wrath] (only usable against targets under 20% health) and [Exorcism]. [Enlightened Judgements] increases the range of the Judgement spells by up to 30 yards.
