Warrior / Holy Paladin

A tier2v2mediumWP

The anti-caster hammer. Cleanse, Blessing of Freedom and bubble utility keep the Warrior glued to a target with Mortal Strike ticking. Weak CC is the tax you pay for the best defensive toolkit in the bracket.

Medium confidence: proven Classic archetype, core toolkit confirmed in demo footage, tuning unverified. Tiers revised weekly from community theorycraft; see the changelog below.

Specs

  • Arms Warrior Melee DPS
  • Holy Paladin Healer

Game plan

Freedom the Warrior onto the softest target and never let go. Cleanse every Fear, Polymorph and snare on cooldown, trade Blessing of Protection and Divine Shield to survive burst windows, and let Mortal Strike attrition decide the game.

Why it works: synergy

  • Blessing of Freedom turns the comp's biggest weakness, Warrior mobility, into a strength.
  • Cheap, spammable Cleanse hard-counters fear comps, DoT comps and frost kiting alike.
  • Blessing of Protection and Divine Shield give two extra defensive cooldowns to a class with none.
  • Hammer of Justice is the setup stun the Warrior kit is missing.

Counters

Warrior / Resto Druid

The Druid kites the enemy Warrior forever, and nothing in WP's kit catches a shifting Druid.

Rogue / Mage

Sap and Blind on the Paladin are hard to answer, and RM can simply mount CC on the Paladin that Cleanse never touches.

Dangers: how this comp loses

  • Almost no crowd control: good opponents just heal through predictable Mortal Strike pressure.
  • The Paladin is extremely vulnerable while stunned; Kidney Shot windows are life-or-death.
  • Mana attrition: Cleanse-spam games against Warlocks are winnable but razor-thin on mana.
  • Will of the Forsaken no longer grants a fear immunity window in the beta build, so an Undead healer still loses the second fear of a chain.

What Forever changes

  • Undead Paladin (confirmed new combo) helps, but the beta build weakens the payoff: Will of the Forsaken is now an instant removal of Charm, Fear and Sleep with no immunity window, so a second fear lands immediately after the break.
  • Human Hunter and other new combos widen the pool of targets Freedom-train pressure works against.
