Blessing

A blessing is a powerful buff that can be applied to friendly players and some non-player characters. Blessings are unique to the paladin class.
The paladin's blassings and auras are the buffs that combine to give the class its flexibility. Blessings can be applied to most friendly targets, drastically increasing their combat abilities.
==Available blessings==
Blessings are short-term spells that give their target a powerful effect before fading shortly after. These were previously known as hands.

Blessing 	Description
Blessing of Might 	Places a blessing on an ally that increases their Mastery.
Blessing of Kings 	Places a blessing on an ally that increases their Strength, Agility, and Intellect by 5%.
Blessing of Wisdom 	Places a blessing on an ally that restores their mana for 10 min.
Blessing of Light 	Places a blessing on an ally that increases the effects of Holy Light spells used on the target.
Blessing of Sanctuary (Classic)	Places a blessing on an ally that reduces damage taken from all sources by 3% for 10 minutes and increases stamina and strength by 10%.
Blessing of Salvation 	Places a blessing on an ally that temporarily removes all threat from the target and causing all additional threat generated to be transfered to the paladin.
Greater Blessings last for 60 minutes and are only available Retribution. There can only be three Greater Blessings active at one time per paladin, meaning a single paladin can only cast a total three Greater Blessings on friendly targets. Casting the same Greater Blessing from multiple paladins do not stack, and applying a Greater Blessing on a fourth target removes the first one cast.
Blessing 	Description
Greater Blessing of Might 	Places a blessing on an ally that gives their attacks a 10% chance to deal 30% additional damage as Holy.
Greater Blessing of Kings 	Places a blessing on an ally that grants them an absorption shield. It absorbs up to (180% of Spell power) damage, and will be refreshed to full strength every 6 sec, even if fully consumed.
Greater Blessing of Wisdom	Places a blessing on an ally that causes them to regenerate 1% of maximum health and mana per 3 sec.
==History==
*Originally all blessings lasted for only 5 minutes. If you wanted to buff a whole 40-man raid, by the time you ended the buffing, first members had only 2-3 minutes left on their blessings, making paladins more like walking buff machines than efficient healers or DPSers.
