What stands out in Forever
A closer look at two changes Blizzard described for Paladin. These are pre-launch preview details, not a live-game guarantee.
Seals stay active
The preview says Judgement no longer consumes the active Seal, changing how those two abilities work together.
A new early strike
Holy Strike is described as a baseline level 6 attack that deals Holy damage using weapon damage.
Selected abilities
A practical selection from Blizzard’s Forever class preview, rather than a complete spellbook. Use your in-game spellbook and trainer for all ranks and the latest details. New to these terms? Learn about group roles and crowd control.

| Level | Ability | What it does | Forever preview |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | Holy Strike | Strike an enemy for Holy damage using your weapon. | A new instant attack learned by the class. |
| 10 | Seal of Fury | Support tanking with Holy damage and a small absorb shield. | Judgement while this Seal is active taunts the target. |
| 20 | Consecration | Create an area of Holy damage around you. | The preview moves it from a Holy talent to a baseline ability. |
| — | Judgement | Apply the effect associated with your active Seal. | Casting Judgement no longer consumes the Seal in the preview. |
A dash means the linked preview did not specify an unlock level. Information reflects Blizzard’s beta announcement, checked November 2, 2026, and may change.
