What's changed in Forever
- Holy Shock has a 10-second cooldown and leads to Light's Vigil, a 31-point heal Blizzard says needs “significant setup”.
- Judgement no longer uses up your Seal, and Consecration is learned by every Paladin at 20.
- Blizzard notes Paladins have no interrupt and no way to slow enemies, which matters in PvP.

Class traits are what each class is known for, adjusted where Blizzard's Forever posts changed it. Blizzard's aim for Forever isn't perfect balance: it's for every class to feel valuable to the groups it joins. Talents can still change in hotfixes. Player numbers update about once an hour.
