On this page, we present you with all spells and procs that you need to understand as a Holy Paladin in TBC Classic.

1.

Holy Paladin Utility Spells in TBC Classic

Paladins have a number of spell types available to them in TBC Classic, mainly due to their ability to provide a number of utility buffs via their blessings and auras, as well as the numerous seals they use.

1.1.

Holy Paladin Blessings

Paladins offer unique buffs called blessings. There are six different blessing buffs in the game, each having a situational use and all of them having very powerful effects. You can only have one active blessing per Paladin, so you would need six total Paladins to cover every buff. For each Blessing, there is the normal version and the greater version, such as Blessing of Might IconBlessing of Might and Greater Blessing of Might IconGreater Blessing of Might. Both versions give the exact same buff, but the greater version will cast on all members of the targeted class in the raid. In addition, the greater version lasts 30 minutes, whereas the normal version only lasts 10 minutes. Greater blessings do, however, require a reagent to cast.

Some Blessings also have talents that can improve them. Greater Blessing of Might IconGreater Blessing of Might, for instance, has Improved Blessing of Might IconImproved Blessing of Might in the Retribution talent tree. If you are in charge of using a specific blessing, it is important to consider if you have the improved version talented.

1.2.

Holy Paladin Auras

Paladins auras offer many situationally useful buffs to party members. Paladins can only have one aura active at a time and have a somewhat short range (30 yards), but they can be extremely strong in specific situations.

Like blessings, there are improved versions of some auras. If you know that you will be using a specific aura in a raid, it can be very worthwhile to spend the talent points on its improved version, such as Improved Devotion Aura IconImproved Devotion Aura.

1.3.

Holy Paladin Seals

Paladins seals are a unique buff that they are only able to cast on themselves. Each seal has a unique effect while the buff is active on the Paladin. Seals are also able to be unleashed by casting Judgement IconJudgement, causing unique effects which apply debuffs or deal extra damage.

  • Seal of Vengeance IconSeal of Vengeance — Grants a chance for each auto-attack to apply a debuff that can stack up to 5 times.
