The shining heroes of Azeroth call upon the forces of light to heal allies and banish evil.

Although the Holy Paladin has lost some ground as a healer with Shadowlands, you can still rely on its solid healing spells. If you’d rather play as a tank instead, go with the Protection Paladin. The Retribution Paladin, on the other hand, focuses on damage.

The most important changes

You now have the Dispel Evil, Hammer of Wrath, Shield of the Righteous, and Sense the Undead abilities. The system of permanent auras is back. One aura can be active per paladin.

The following auras are available: Aura of the Crusader (level 21, increases riding speed by 20%), Aura of Devotion (level 28, damage taken reduced by 3%), Aura of Retribution (level 38, you receive Wrathful Retribution when a nearby ally dies), and Aura of Concentration (level 52, shorter interrupt and silence effects).

You now use Holy Power as a resource. Holy Shock, Flame of Faith, Hammer of Wrath, Crusader’s Strike, Lend Confidence, and Beacon of Virtue each generate one Holy Power. Light of Dawn, Word of Glory, Shield of the Righteous, and Seraphim each consume three Holy Power.

Holy Light costs quite a lot of mana, but heals properly.

Aura Mastery has been reworked to boost your current aura for eight seconds. Flame of Faith now heals 50% instead of 40% of healing on another ally. Light Infusion now reduces the cost of Flash of Light by 30% and increases the healing of Holy Light by 30%.

At level 25, you have a new talent, Saved by Light. When your target’s health from Flame of Faith drops below 30%, a portion of the next damage is absorbed. The level 40 talent Seraphim temporarily increases speed, critical strike chance, versatility, and mastery when used with three Holy Power. At level 50, Shimmer of Light is a new addition. Holy Shock temporarily leaves a glow of light on targets. When you use Holy Shock, targets receive damage or healing from Shimmer of Light.

Dawn Light will doctor up to five allies in a cone-shaped area in front of you.

Be careful not to waste Holy Power. So use up some of your Holy Power no later than five stacks of it with powerful heals like Light of Dawn and Word of Glory. Always put your Flame of Faith on an ally.

Always use Holy Shock on that ally when it is available. When Light Infusion is active, use Light Bolt. Cast Holy Light for low and moderate damage, and switch to Flash of Light when the damage is more severe.

Always be mindful of your mana. You have the Cooldown abilities Lay on of Hands, Blessing of Sacrifice, Aura Mastery, Blessing of Protection, and Blessing of Freedom to assist you.
