Some of the biggest Paladin changes are trained spells rather than talents. These 4 notes come from the level 38 demo spellbook and BlizzCon footage; each one links to the talents that reference it. Ranks and levels are preview data.
No longer consumes your seal. 10 yd range, 10 sec cooldown. Judging Seal of Fury taunts the target for 4 sec, so Paladins can pick up pulls.
A tanking seal: every hit adds Holy damage, and with a shield equipped you gain an absorb worth half of that damage. Rank 4 by level 38.
A baseline Retribution strike on a 12 sec cooldown dealing weapon damage plus Holy damage; rank 5 by level 38. Several talents build on it.
Both are trainable now instead of talents; Consecration is learned at level 20.
Racial abilities are listed separately on the WoW Forever racials page; they cost no talent points. Every class’s changes are collected on the WoW Forever abilities page.
Plan WoW Forever Paladin talents around Judgement and the seal you keep up. Judgement no longer consumes the seal, Swift Judgement resets its cooldown, Sanctified Judgement returns Mana with it, and Twist of Light rewards changing seals. Decide whether you heal, tank or swing a two-hander, then trace that tree's prerequisites backwards.
Pick the level before placing WoW Forever Paladin talents: 21 points at level 30, 51 at level 60, one pool for all three trees. Light's Vigil, Holy Shield and Twist of Light each need 30 points in earlier rows of their tree, so a 51-point plan reaches one of them with 20 to spare; Twist of Light also requires level 40.
A click learns a rank; right-click or Shift-click takes it back; on touch, the first tap inspects and the second learns. Locked WoW Forever Paladin talents show what they wait for: a shield for Holy Shield, 20 Holy points for Holy Shock, 20 Protection points for Templar's Bulwark. From a keyboard, Tab reaches a node; Enter or Space learns it.
Row two needs 5 points already spent in earlier rows of the same tree, row three needs 10, and so on, so later WoW Forever Paladin talents are gated by their tree. Retribution keeps new talents late: Sacred Arbiter and Crusade in row four, Champion of the Light and Instrument of Law in row six. Arrows mark full-rank prerequisites; refund dependants first, or reset the tree.
A Paladin often keeps three plans: a Holy healing spread, a Protection shield build around Templar's Bulwark, a Retribution two-hander build.

Yes, through a build link: opened in the other browser, it restores class, level and every point, whether a 31-point Holy plan or a Protection layout. Drafts and named saves live only in the browser that created them. A link made on an older data version explains what changed and keeps its address.
