✨ WoW Forever Paladin Talents: Trees, Ranks & Changes

Paladins fight with holy power. Holy keeps the party healed, Protection tanks with a shield and strong defences, and Retribution deals steady melee damage.

Compare talent ranks and prerequisites across Holy, Protection, Retribution. Once you have chosen the talents for your role, plan your points in the Paladin calculator.

Paladin talent ranks, tags and requirements

• Read rank 1 first, then compare the final rank with the point cost. Every Paladin talent shows its full beta-client wording.
• The tags explain the difference from Classic: NEW is Forever-only, Changed keeps the talent but alters its effect, and Active means you press a button to use it.
• Deeper rows require points in the same tree. A row 4 talent needs 15 points in the rows above it, so plan from the top down.
