Mysteries of Azeroth — is a story expansion inspired by the Warcraft universe of Blizzard Entertainment. World of Warcraft remains the intellectual property of Blizzard Entertainment.
Let’s be frank, the only good thing a paladin can do in vanilla is heal. Sure, with the right setup you can do decent tanking or decent dps, but it still doesn’t all quite come together. A lot of the potential and uniqueness to the class has always attracted people to it, but that was progressively lost over time in retail post-vanilla. We believe there is a lot of opportunity to help the Paladin perform more than just healing adequately without making them too powerful or “warrior-lite.”
Learned at Level: 4, eight ranks up to level 60
Cooldown: 6 sec
Strike the target for a percentage of weapon damage as Holy damage, restoring health
and mana to you and nearby allies. Costs very little: 5 mana at Rank 1, 90 at
Rank 8.
Learned at Level: 10, five ranks at 10 / 22 / 34 / 46 / 58
A strike that damages the target and increases the Holy damage it takes, stacking up to
5 times for 30 sec.
Learned at Level: 10
Cooldown: 10 sec
Taunts the target to attack you. Has no effect if the target is already attacking you.
★
Judgement Duration
Your auto-attack swings refresh your own Judgement debuff on the target: any
swing that lands for damage resets its timer, so a Judgement stays up as long
as you keep hitting. Crusader Strike and Holy Strike go further and refresh
every Paladin's Judgement on that target, not only your own.
★
Consecration
Baseline from level 20. Rank 5 costs 205 mana, and its damage wanes as the effect
runs rather than ticking evenly.

Seal of Wisdom
Flash of Light gains a seventh rank at level 60; Seal of Wisdom has five ranks.

Also increases the effect of Holy Shock on the target, not just Holy Light and Flash of
Light.
