Paladin in WoW Forever

Confirmed race choices

These are the new combinations named in the sources below, not a complete list of every Paladin race.

Forsaken Paladin is a confirmed new combination #

Blizzard names Forsaken Paladin as one of Forever’s new race/class combinations, and its panel recap includes an image of the character. Horde players can put this combination on their shortlist without relying on rumors about future allied races.

Paladin is not included in Blizzard’s announced Skyborne class list. A Skyborne pack unlock does not establish access to a Skyborne Paladin.

Tanking, healing and Retribution #

Wowhead’s live coverage of the Forever panel identifies three Paladin changes: a new seal for tanking, more group healing and a set of Retribution changes. This is the clearest class-specific gameplay direction in the reveal sources reviewed for this directory.

The report does not supply the seal’s name, threat values, healing coefficients or a complete talent allocation. It supports following these three areas through beta; it cannot settle which specialization will be strongest or how a raid should allocate Paladin slots.

Plan your group around a preferred role #

Tell your group whether you want to test tanking, healing or Retribution, then keep that preference separate from a guaranteed launch assignment. Forever’s broader class and specialization revamps make a fresh evaluation worthwhile.

For dungeon and raid preparation, use the announced group sizes and opening dates in the group-content guide. Encounter tactics, gear lists and a Paladin rotation need encounter and class evidence before they become instructions.
