What's changed in Forever
- Seal Twisting is no longer baseline; Twist of Light makes it “more approachable”, and Holy Strike hits 20% harder with Sacred Arbiter.

- Blizzard notes Paladins have no interrupt and no way to slow enemies, which matters in PvP.
From Blizzard: Class Deep Dives: Paladin (Oct 15)
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.
