On September 30, a recap of paladin spell coefficient testing in the beta appeared on the official Blizzard forum in the Forever section. The Seal of Righteousness judgement doubled, Retribution now scales with spell power for the first time, and Consecration can now crit.

On September 30, 2026, a post appeared on the official Blizzard forum in the Forever section with the results of paladin spell coefficient testing in the beta. The topic has gathered just one post so far, with no replies.

The author used builds with the new spell-power gear from the beta and noted a margin of error of up to 2%.

Key numbers (at low spell power):

• Exorcism — no changes, around 45%.
• Seal of Righteousness: judgement — no changes, 50%; SoR hit — 20% on one-handed weapons (was 10%) and 22% on two-handed (was 12%). Does not scale with weapon speed.
• Holy Strike — 35%, the same on one- and two-handed weapons.
• Seal of the Crusader: judgement — no changes, 20%; holy damage — 29% (this "nuance" remained).
• Consecration — 75%, now crits; the author compares it to the TBC era.
• Retribution — for the first time scales with spell power, estimated at 12–15%.

In practice

• For ret paladins nothing new in the rotation (Seal of Righteousness and Exorcism unchanged), but Retribution with spell power for the first time becomes a lever. The author of the Paladin Spell coefficients topic on the Blizzard forum from September 30 writes: "Protection paladin is going to have a good time with this one".
• Heal paladins should watch Consecration: 75% with crit — a noticeable portion of damage even on a single target.
• The two-handed spell-power paladin on-hit build, according to the tester, is most likely dead.
