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?"
