New Seal and Judgement Mechanics Explained
With all the changes to the Paladin class since the 3.0.2 patch, it's time for a major update to the class guide. So today Byron "Messiah" Mudry starts that update with a revamp to the class basics and playing basics pages. These pages now explain the new basics to the class and how it is played, including the new seals, judgements, stats and more. Check back later this week for an update to the Paladin tanking guide to explain the all new tanking and threat generation mechanics.
Blessings are character buffs that paladins can give to themselves or other players that last 10 minutes. The blessings apply very beneficial bonuses such as enhanced mana regeneration, enhanced attack power and many more. Any given player (including the Paladin) can only be under the effect of one blessing per Paladin in a similar manner as auras. You can be under the effect of multiple paladin blessings though, just each one must be a different blessing and from a different Paladin.
You can find all the updates in the Paladin Guide Update in the Basics and the Playing a Paladin sections.
