Paladin abilities

Paladin abilities are abilities that paladins use. Most abilities are shared between all specializations, while some are only specific to one (or two) specializations.

Class
All paladins automatically learn the following spells at the specified level, regardless of specialization.

Specializations
The three paladin specializations are Holy (healing), Protection (tanking) and Retribution (melee DPS).

For a summary of the character and strengths of each spec, see Paladin specializations.    

Talents
Talents become available at level 15. Only one talent can be chosen from each tier.

They can be swapped out any time outside of a rested area using Tome of the Tranquil Mind.

PvP talents
PvP talents become available at level 20. Up to 3 PvP talents may be active at any given time (with additional slots becoming available at levels 30 and 40).

These talents are active in the open world with War Mode turned on, as well as during instanced PvP. They have no effect in dungeons and raids.
