Holy Paladin
Built to mix spells rather than spam one, with a damage option that does not ruin your mana.

Holy changes
NewInfusion of LightCritical heals from Holy Shock and Flash of Light shorten the cast time of Holy Light.
NewLight’s VigilHigh-cost cooldown that can reset Holy Shock and trigger either extra damage against enemies or party-wide healing through an ally. Only the damage version refunds part of the mana.
NewVoice of TruthTemporary immunity to Silence and interrupts.
NewReverenceMana regeneration from Spirit while casting.
NewConsecrated GroundEnemies standing in Consecration take increased Holy damage.
ChangedHoly ShockMoves to a 10-second cooldown.
ChangedHoly Strike (Holy)Beta: cooldown 10 seconds instead of 12, and Holy Power adds 15% critical chance to it. Improved Holy Strike was removed from the tree because its effect became baseline.
Baseline changes — every Paladin
These apply to Holy too, regardless of where talent points go.
NewHoly StrikeLevel 6. Instant weapon strike dealing Holy damage on a 12-second cooldown. The beta raised its weapon damage per rank (25% at rank 1 to 50% at rank 8).
ChangedSeals and JudgmentCasting Judgment no longer consumes your Seal, so you stop recasting it after every Judgment.
ChangedConsecrationBaseline at level 20 instead of a talent. Full damage and threat on the first four targets, reduced beyond that — a tanking tool and a damage tool at once.
ChangedBlessing of KingsBaseline instead of a talent, like Divine Spirit for Priests and Improved Mark of the Wild for Druids.
ChangedRetribution AuraBeta: its damage now scales with spell power — per the 1 October notes, the spell power of the player carrying the aura rather than the Paladin’s.

Holy Paladin: skip the climb to 60
Levelling 1–60 takes about 150 hours of play by community estimates, and Blizzard has announced no WoW Token and no paid boost for Forever. These are the prices other sellers are already taking pre-orders at.
Market prices: pre-order listings on lfcarry.com, wowvendor.com, skycoach.gg, kingboost.net and others, checked 2 October 2026. Our own rates go up when realms open — no one can deliver Forever gold before 4 November.
