The Horde

Paladins are not faction locked on Project Epoch, with the new Horde Paladin being the Undead. Complete with a full list of unique class quests similar to their Alliance counterparts these Undead Paladins fit seamlessly into the existing vanilla world. You may be wondering, "Doesn't the Holy Light hurt Undead creatures?" This dynamic is explored in one of their quests!

Hands and Blessings

One annoyance with the design of the Burning Crusade Paladin is how their short duration blessings, such as Blessing of Freedom, strips your long duration blessings off of the target! Why should you have to re-apply Blessing of Kings just because you wanted to cleanse a root from your tank?

No more! Here on Project Epoch you'll find that Blessing of Freedom, Blessing of Protection, and Blessing of Sacrifice are now named Hand of Freedom, Hand of Protection, and Hand of Sacrifice. Hands are exclusive with each other, but you can have both a Hand and a Blessing on the target. No more knocking off Blessing of Kings with your Freedom!

Racial Seals

With the addition of our Racial Knowledge we thought it would be fitting for the infamous faction specific Seal of Blood and Seal of Vengeance to use our new system, so players can swap between them. You'll find that Seal of Blood has been renamed to Seal of Penitence to fit their new home as the Undead Paladin racial seal, and Dwarves have received a brand new seal named Seal of the Mountain. Choosing a different Paladin race as your Racial Knowledge will give you access to their unique seal.

Raid Wide Effects

Across the board on Project Epoch we have made changes to formally party wide effects to make them available to your full raid group. In the case of the Paladin this is: Devotion Aura, Fire Resistance Aura, Frost Resistance Aura, Shadow Resistance Aura, Retribution Aura, Sanctity Aura, and Concentration Aura.

Further Optimization And Reworks

The changes highlighted above represent key updates to the Paladin class, enhancing utility, playstyle variety, and raid contributions. However, Azeroth is ever-evolving, and class tuning is an ongoing process. For the most up-to-date details on abilities, talents, and mechanics, be sure to explore the updated class spellbooks provided above.

Additionally, our Talent Calculator allows you to view the full talent trees, helping you plan your character and adapt to the latest changes.
