PaladinPaladin talent calculator WoW: Forever

The Paladin in WoW: Forever spends 51 talent points at level 60 across Holy (18 talents), Protection (16 talents) and Retribution (18 talents). Click a talent for a point, right-click or shift-click to take one back; the rows open at five points a row and prerequisites hold as in the game. The link in the address bar is the build — Copy link and send it. These are the trees Blizzard showed at BlizzCon 2026, as read from the demo; every rank has its numbers, a rank nobody has seen in the game yet says so, and each talent says whether it is new, changed or moved from Classic. The Legacy perks — account-wide, 16 points at launch — are under the trees, in the same link.
