Paladin Hand spells are short-term Paladin spells that give their target a powerful effect before fading shortly after.

History[]

Hand spells were implemented in Patch 3.0.2. They are 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 Blessing of Freedom, Blessing of Protection, and Blessing of Sacrifice spells. In addition, Blessing of Salvation was converted into a hand spell from a long term Blessing. These spells are now known as Hand of Freedom, Hand of Protection, Hand of Sacrifice, and Hand of Salvation.

Available hands[]

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