What is the Paladin like in WoW Forever?

Paladin fills tank, healer, melee dps roles, wears mail → plate at 40 and uses mana. It can be played as Human, Dwarf, Undead, with Undead new in Forever.

Paladins are hard to kill and rarely die to a bad pull, but they are not fast. Retribution with Seal of Command and a slow two-hander is the usual route; Blessing of Wisdom and Judgement keep mana up between fights. datawago.tools client tables (build 1.60.1.70790)communitywarcraft.wiki.gg Forever page

  • Save Lay on Hands for the pull that goes wrong, not for topping off.
