Paladin Hand spells were short-term paladin spells that gave their target a powerful effect before fading shortly after.

History[]

Hand spells were implemented in patch 3.0.2. They were made up of many of the former Blessing spells. Many of the Hand spells were Blessings that acted as a short-term utility rather than standard raid buff, including the former Spell holy sealofvalor [Blessing of Freedom], Spell holy sealofprotection [Blessing of Protection], and Spell holy sealofsacrifice [Blessing of Sacrifice] spells. In addition, Spell holy sealofsalvation [Blessing of Salvation] was converted into a hand spell from a long term Blessing. These spells were from then on known as Spell holy sealofvalor [Hand of Freedom], Spell holy sealofprotection [Hand of Protection], Spell holy sealofsacrifice [Hand of Sacrifice], and Spell holy sealofsalvation [Hand of Salvation].

Available hands[]

There are numerous hands available to Paladins. The available hands are as follows:

Improving hands with talents[]

All Hands (except Hand of Purity) could be improved with Ability paladin clemency [Clemency]. Clemency gave each of these Hand spells two "charges", that could be used in quick succession. However these "charges" were not on independent or parallel cooldowns, but cooldown sequentially.
