Quick answer: WoW Forever Paladins can train 43 class abilities from level 1 through 60. Their first three are Devotion Aura, Holy Light and Seal of Righteousness.

In World of Warcraft: Forever, a Paladin trainer teaches each class ability as you reach its level. The same trainer also teaches higher ranks of abilities you already have, and each new rank opens at a set level. Talent abilities work differently. They come from the talent trees, so they are not part of the 43 below. The full list of Paladin talents and what each one does covers those separately.


Paladin abilities from level 1 to 19

Your first 18 abilities arrive in this range. Holy Light, Devotion Aura and Seal of Righteousness are ready at level 1. Judgement follows at level 4, Holy Strike at level 6 and Hammer of Justice at level 8. Level 10 adds four abilities at once: Blessing of Protection, Lay on Hands, Righteous Fury and the new Seal of Fury. Blessing of Freedom at level 18 closes out the range.

New and changed Paladin abilities in WoW Forever

Blizzard’s class changes add two Paladin abilities and rework several others. Most of these changes affect how Seals, Judgement and the Blessings work together, so they shape how you play from the early levels onward.

  • At level 6, you learn Holy Strike, an instant attack that deals weapon damage along with Holy damage.
  • Seal of Fury, learned at level 10, is a new Seal. Each melee swing deals bonus Holy damage, and its Judgement taunts. The bonus is the same on every swing, so a fast weapon suits it for tanking.
  • Using Judgement leaves your active Seal in place.
  • At level 20, Paladins gain Consecration as a standard ability, dealing damage to the first four enemies.
  • Blessing of Kings is baseline.
  • Lay on Hands has a 20 min cooldown.
  • Salvation is no longer a Blessing. The raid version is Mass Salvation.
