Stand firm beneath the Light. This hub will grow from levelling into builds, PvE, PvP, gear and professions as Forever data is verified.
Paladin levelling coverage will track when tanking, healing and melee tools become practical through 1–60. Undead Paladin is a confirmed new Forever combination, so faction and race options will be reflected without assuming old restrictions still apply.
PRE-LAUNCH RESEARCHBuild recommendations will carry clear update dates while beta tuning continues to change.
BETA-SENSITIVEDungeon and raid builds, rotations and preparation will be added from verified encounter data.
LAUNCH DATA REQUIREDPvP talents, matchups and gearing will be maintained separately from PvE recommendations.
BETA-SENSITIVEUseful upgrades and eventual BiS lists will be organised by content phase and source.
PHASED GUIDEProfession advice will be separated by tank, healer and damage goals and checked against Forever's expanded crafting and Camping systems. Utility, crafted upgrades and consumables will be distinguished from pure endgame optimisation.
IN RESEARCHA practical first-pass guide built from confirmed Forever information. Final talents, rotations, stat priorities and best-in-slot recommendations will be added after live verification.
Paladins combine armed combat with the Light, bringing damage, protection and healing tools. Forever's hybrid-friendly stat changes make the class particularly interesting for players who want one character capable of several group roles.
Forever confirms Dwarf and Human Paladins for Alliance and introduces Undead Paladin for Horde. The Undead option is one of the expansion's headline new race/class combinations.
Choose Paladin if you value durability and role flexibility. It is particularly appealing if you want the option to move between protecting allies, healing and dealing damage as your group needs change.
Skyborne are not listed as Paladins in Forever's confirmed class matrix. Players wanting the new race should therefore choose another class rather than planning around a combination that does not exist at launch.
Forever's unified hit and critical stats are designed partly to help hybrid builds such as Retribution Paladins. Blessing of Kings is also moving from a talent to a baseline class ability.
Use the opening levels to learn the class's core resource flow, survival tools and combat rhythm. Keep useful equipment current rather than following a pre-launch speed route built on assumptions.
Forever's account-wide Legacy System normally unlocks when your first character reaches level 25. A Paladin main can establish that progression naturally without requiring an alt first.
Forever asks you to choose a ruleset rather than a traditional realm. Pick the environment that matches how you actually want to level and play, particularly if open PvP would materially change your experience.
At launch this section will expand into tested builds, gearing, PvE, PvP and activity-specific recommendations. Until then we are separating confirmed systems from beta-dependent optimisation.
Confirmed information can be documented before launch. Tuning-dependent rankings and recommendations will be labelled until they can be checked against the live game.

Undead Paladin is one of Forever's six newly announced race/class combinations.
Forever keeps strong class identity while updating abilities, talents and gearing. Exact talent rankings, rotations and BiS recommendations remain beta-sensitive and will be dated when added.
