BlessingOfTrials

Blessing of Trials in the Trading Card Game.

A blessing is a powerful buff that can be applied to friendly players and some non-player characters. Blessings are unique to the paladin class.

The paladin's blassings and auras are the buffs that combine to give the class its flexibility. Blessings can be applied to most friendly targets, drastically increasing their combat abilities.

Available blessings[]

Blessings are short-term spells that give their target a powerful effect before fading shortly after. These were previously known as hands.

Greater Blessings last for 60 minutes and are only available Retribution. There can only be three Greater Blessings active at one time per paladin, meaning a single paladin can only cast a total three Greater Blessings on friendly targets. Casting the same Greater Blessing from multiple paladins do not stack, and applying a Greater Blessing on a fourth target removes the first one cast.

Spell holy greaterblessingofwisdom [Greater Blessing of Wisdom] Places a blessing on an ally that causes them to regenerate 1% of maximum health and mana per 3 sec.

History[]

  • Originally all blessings lasted for only 5 minutes. If you wanted to buff a whole 40-man raid, by the time you ended the buffing, first members had only 2-3 minutes left on their blessings, making paladins more like walking buff machines than efficient healers or DPSers.
