A little support can make a friendly target feel ready for the road ahead. Blessing of Kings increases their total stats by 10%, making it a straightforward way for you to lend strength without choosing a single attribute to favor. Its appeal is broad rather than specialized: you offer a blessing, and the recipient brings their own strengths to it.

How you get it

You learn Blessing of Kings as a Paladin class ability at level 20. It becomes part of your class toolkit as you grow, ready for the moments when helping someone else is just as satisfying as landing your own next blow.

What changed in Forever

In Classic Era, Blessing of Kings lasted 5 min. In Forever, it lasts 60 min. That is the heart of this change: the same total-stat increase now accompanies your target for a much longer stretch. Rather than making the blessing stronger, the revised duration makes maintaining it less of a recurring task.

The restriction remains familiar: players may only have one Blessing on them per Paladin at any one time. Choosing what to give someone still matters, even with the longer window. You have more breathing room after that choice, not permission to pile your blessings onto the same recipient. It is a practical change to the rhythm of support rather than a new effect to learn.
