Why you might enjoy a Dwarf Paladin
You want to be very hard to kill, and like helping the group as much as hitting things.
What playing one is like
Slow, steady fights you rarely lose. Bless the group, heal yourself, keep going.
Your group roles
Tank (takes the hits) · Healer · Damage
Three ways to play
- Holy: Healing and support with Holy magic.
- Protection: Hold enemy attention while managing survival and Mana.
- Retribution: Blend weapon attacks, Seals and Holy damage.
- Movement
- Melee for weapon damage and tanking; healing has a different rhythm.
- Preparation
- Choose Seals, use Judgements and support allies.
- Group responsibilities
- Tank, heal or deal damage with the right equipment and talents.
What may not click
Seals and Judgements are part of the appeal. Try their rhythm before choosing a main.
Launch changes: Salvation is removed; Protection gains Shieldsworn and Retribution gains Unsealed Wrath.
Try before committing
Practice a Seal and Judgement sequence, then support an ally. See whether you enjoy switching attention.
An exercise to try as tools unlock, rather than a full build or a test you must pass.

The Dwarf character fantasy
Their capital, Ironforge, is carved right into a mountain, and somewhere inside it a dwarf is always digging up where dwarves came from.
Before you commit
Paladin fights can feel slow, especially alone: you’ll kill things slower than your friends do.
