BUILDFORGEOpen CalculatorTrack official Paladin Beta updates alongside the last fully imported client tree, including the October 1 Level 30 cap and historical build diffs.
October 1 update — Level 30 cap
Open Paladin CalculatorOctober 19 stress test status and preparation: reported launcher date; exact hours and access rules are unconfirmed in our October 15 review.
These links are computed from our published allocations. They show which examples select a changed talent, not measured damage, threat or healing changes. Historical examples and current planning routes are labeled separately.
Block chance changed from 6/12/18/24/30% to 4/8/12/16/20%.
Review the old tooltip when judging block coverage. Membership below does not quantify survivability loss.
Block chance changed from 20% to 30%.
The selected examples below are historical full allocations, not Level 30 recommendations.
Uses non-periodic critical effects, with three stacks.
Review trigger assumptions in Ret play. The imported description alone cannot establish current uptime.
Official update sets Sacred Arbiter to 20%.
The Ret route selects this talent; consult the official note rather than calculating output from the old rank text.
Adds 20% Seal mana-cost reduction.
This tuning does not establish a new talent position. The imported 31-point gate still exceeds the standard Level 30 budget.
Text clarifies that only damage returns mana.
Do not assume healing triggers the mana return. The historical full Holy example is above the current point budget.
Blizzard says players can now level to 30. The same official update announces these Paladin tuning changes:
For Champion of the Light, the Healing increase was a tooltip error, not a live effect. The preserved 69913 rank tooltips remain historical. Current 70245 structure and community-resolved rank text are separate evidence from these official server announcements; the selected Protection route nodes were reviewed against 70170 before the full structure review. Ret has a community Level 30 planning route; neither route is performance tested.
70009 includes new class changes. The historical comparison below preserves 69913; the current calculator now uses the fully reviewed 70245 structure and separately sourced rank text. “Unchanged in 69913” does not mean unchanged in 70009 or the October 1 update.
Historical client build 1.60.1.69913 contained 52 Holy, Protection, and Retribution nodes. It is preserved for exact comparisons and read-only old allocations; the current calculator uses 50 nodes from 70245.
Holy 9 · Protection 5 · Retribution 7
Improved Holy Strike · Improved Seals · Voice of Truth · Reverence · Purifying Power · Infusion of Light · Divine Precision · Consecrated Ground · Light's Vigil · Improved Seal of Fury · Sacred Duty · Swift Judgement · Templar's Bulwark · Iron Creed · Holy Conduit · Sanctified Judgement · Sacred Arbiter · Crusade · Champion of the Light · Instrument of Law · Twist of Light
Divine Favor · Toughness · Deflection · Repentance
The official level cap is now 30. Level 20 routes remain useful checkpoints. Follow the 21-point Protection editorial route or the Ret community timeline, and use the comparator to inspect Holy Shock planning limits. The complete 70245 structure is now reconciled; route effectiveness and every rendered rank value remain separate evidence.
50 current talents; 0 added, 2 removed, 0 moved, 0 rank-cap changes and 0 prerequisite-link changes. Fourteen talents have 32 changed resolved rank strings. The ten checked client tables are identical between 70170 and 70245; this is accumulated reconciliation with 69913, not a new 70245 patch announcement.
Improved Holy Strike was officially removed. Crusade’s node 110883 is absent from the checked client tree; no official removal note is claimed.
70245 client tables verify talent identities, positions and rank caps. Rank descriptions are adapted from Talents Forever (source build 1.60.1.70170) under CC BY 4.0 and carry community verification. Rank descriptions adapted from the Talents Forever export for BuildForgeTools; selected tuning checked against Blizzard Beta notes, with unresolved discrepancies recorded in the review. No in-game verification of every rendered value is claimed.
Redoubt retains a raw-client proc-value discrepancy. Seal of Command’s rendered range correction and the Light’s Vigil upper-bound digit are resolved-export evidence, not independently verified gameplay changes.
