Let’s be frank - the only good thing a paladin can do in vanilla is heal. Sure, with the right setup you can do decent tanking or decent dps, but it still doesn’t all quite come together. A lot of the potential and uniqueness to the class has always attracted people to it, but that was progressively lost over time in retail post-vanilla. We believe there is a lot of opportunity to help the Paladin perform more than just healing adequately without making them too powerful or “warrior-lite.”
Learned at Level: 4, eight ranks up to level 60
Cooldown: 6 sec
Strike the target for a percentage of weapon damage as Holy damage, restoring health
and mana to you and nearby allies. Costs very little: 5 mana at Rank 1, 90 at
Rank 8.
Learned at Level: 10, five ranks at 10 / 22 / 34 / 46 / 58
A strike that damages the target and increases the Holy damage it takes, stacking up to
5 times for 30 sec.
Learned at Level: 10
Cooldown: 10 sec
Taunts the target to attack you. Has no effect if the target is already attacking you.
Increases your attack and casting speed. Driven by the Retribution talent Vengeful Strikes, which makes each stack hit harder.
Beyond the Warhorse and Charger, Paladins here can summon the Argent Charger, Scarlet Charger, Scarlet Warhorse, Thalassian Charger and Thalassian Warhorse.
★
Judgement Duration
Your auto-attack swings refresh your own Judgement debuff on the target: any
swing that lands for damage resets its timer, so a Judgement stays up as long
as you keep hitting. Crusader Strike and Holy Strike go further and refresh
every Paladin's Judgement on that target, not only your own.
★
Consecration
