WoW Forever Paladin Talents Guide
Forever hands Paladins the biggest glow-up of any class. Retribution gets real damage tools, Holy gets a proper healing kit, and Protection becomes an actual tank option instead of a meme.
Paladin Retribution tree in Forever
Unsealed Wrath and Champion of the Light headline the new capstones. Repentance is still there for PvP control, and Vengeance stacks up crit as a fight drags on. The tree finally sustains damage instead of riding auto-attacks.

Paladin Holy tree in Forever
Holy Shock, Light's Vigil and Holy Power give the tree an emergency button, a throughput cooldown and a resource that rewards planned healing. It plays less like a whack-a-mole cleanse bot than Classic ever did.
Unsealed Wrath1 rank
Champion of the Light5 ranks
Paladin Protection tree in Forever
Shieldsworn and Iron Creed are new capstones that fix the classic threat hole. Redoubt and Reckoning keep the block-crit loop, and Templar's Bulwark rounds out mitigation. You can main-tank five-mans without apologizing.
Light's Vigil1 rank
Holy Power5 ranks
What Forever changes for Paladin
Retribution and Protection both get entirely new capstones, and Holy trades raw mana efficiency for active throughput tools.
