Blessing of Kings is baseline Protection spell learned at level 20.

Spell magic greaterblessingofkings [Greater Blessing of Kings]

Paladins also have Greater Blessings, which includes a Spell magic greaterblessingofkings [Greater Blessing of Kings] which can be learned (purchased) from the Class Trainer. Each Greater Blessing affects all players of the targeted class within your party or raid and lasts for 30 minutes (as of patch 2.2).

Each Greater Blessing you cast requires the reagent Inv misc symbolofkings 01 [Symbol of Kings] which can be purchased at any reagent vendor.

Notes

  • 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. For this reason it is not uncommon for Paladins who regularly raid instances to pick up this skill regardless of their main spec.
  • The effectiveness of Blessing of Kings not as good as it was before TBC; gear then mainly boosted primary attributes: strength, agility, intellect, spirit and stamina. Itemization in TBC now emphasizes secondary attributes such as attack power, critical strike rating, and spell damage, which are not directly improved by Blessing of Kings.
  • In PvP, it is usually the best blessing for any class, as having high stamina is vital in surviving enemy players' attacks.
  • 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.
  • Since this blessing has only one rank, it's possible for a low level (20+) paladin to give this buff to random level 70 players while retaining the same level of usefulness, unlike for example Spell holy greaterblessingofkings [Blessing of Might].
