Blessing of Kings is a paladin buff spell available at level 30.

Tips and tactics

It can be cast on any friendly target, including many NPCs.
It does not stack with [Embrace of the Shale Spider], [Legacy of the Emperor], or [Mark of the Wild].
Because of its long duration, it is standard practice for paladins to keep this spell up onto themselves and all party members while in a group. However, if you have a druid, monk, or hunter (with a Shale spider), tell them to cast their buff spell while you cast [Blessing of Might], due to only having one Blessing at a time.
If you have mana to spare while soloing, any nearby friendly player will appreciate and benefit from this ability. Casting it on a priest will encourage the priest to cast [Power Word: Fortitude] on you in return. Likewise, mages will often return the favor with [Arcane Brilliance]/ [Dalaran Brilliance] (more useful if you are specced into Holy), and monks with [Legacy of the White Tiger].

Trivia

Blessing of Kings is a basic Paladin spell in Hearthstone. The flavor text reads: "Given the number of kings who have been assassinated, are you sure you want their blessing?"

-== Notes ==
+==Patch changes==
+*{{Patch 7.0.3|note=Removed.}}
-*Blessing of Kings applies its bonus to stats after all other buffs and auras on the target are added, making the cumulative effect potentially greater than any other class buff.
+*{{Patch 5.3.0|note=Mana cost reduced to 5%, down from 22.3%.}}
-*Blessing of Kings is not as effective as it was before TBC; gear then mainly boosted primary attributes: strength, agility, intellect, spirit and stamina. Itemization since TBC emphasizes secondary attributes such as attack power, critical strike rating, and spell damage, which are not directly improved by Blessing of Kings.
+*{{Patch 5.0.4|note=No longer increases stamina or magical [[resistance]]s.}}
-*In PvE, it is still the most wanted buff for tanks. Healers and DPS might prefer [[Blessing of Might]].
+*{{Patch 4.0.1|note=Now trainable at level 22 (up from level 20) and redesigned.
-*In PvP, it is usually the best blessing for any class, as having high stamina is vital in surviving enemy players' attacks.
+**Blessing of Kings now increases strength, agility, intellect, and stamina by 5% (down from 10%), and now additionally increases magical resistances, but no longer increases spirit.
-*Friendly boss characters (like capital faction leaders and the 2 generals in [[Alterac Valley]], [[Vanndar Stormpike]] and [[Drek'thar]]) are immune to Blessing of Kings, perhaps because the added bonus would be too strong on those NPCs.
+**Duration increased to 1 hour (up from 10 minutes).
+**No longer stacks with [[Mark of the Wild]].
+**Now affects all members of the target's party or raid when cast, but can no longer target pets.
