Blessings are a type of short-duration spell that you can cast on yourself or your allies to grant combat bonuses or other special effects. Blessings are cast instantly and last for 5 minutes. There are a wide variety of available blessings, but each character can only be under the effect of one blessing per paladin in the party. Part of the strategy of playing a paladin is figuring out which blessings are the most useful for different classes and determining in which situations each one is most appropriate. There are also greater blessings which are cast on an entire class within your raid party. These blessings last for 30 minutes and require 1 Symbol of Kings to be cast.
