Good morning!
Just curious, there was a rumor i heard somewhere at some point in time that they might make alternate spell colors for paladin. This is probably false but figured id ask. Is this something that has a hint of truth or no?
Thanks!

I haven’t heard anything about that, but it’s something we’ve been asking for for a while. They have the whole glyph system, which is currently used just for cosmetic changes to spells, but haven’t really utilized it nearly as much as they could. Changing the color of spells would be one of the simplest changes (not requiring new 3D models), but they just haven’t done it.

It would be nice. More cosmetic options is always a good thing.

A very popular fan art was “Class Skins.”
Where you’d be able to customize your spells and abilities to better reflect your race/class fantasy.
In typical Blizzard’s halfassed fashion, they are adding in “Hero Talents” in the next expansion that will add slight visual variants to key spells that reflect your Hero choice.
For Paladins, expect something along the lines of Hammer of Justice now radiants fire damage from your target, so Hammer of Justice will visually cause your target to burn.
(Just an example)

I would love an Inquisitor dot build spec where we’re about burning our enemies. WITHOUT the spell INQUISITION.
wow thanks! I wish those were real. I do think that this can be a dressing room kind of deal like they did with warlocks and druids. Though admittedly the spell colors for those classes did not change, just the models.
I would love- when they finally add night elf paladins- for the spells and effects to have a lunar flair. Silvery wings for Avenging Wrath and holy damage visual effects would be cool.
All these different color Artifact appearances yet still no way to change your abilities to reflect anything but Bright Yellow color. We need- Red : Hellfire, Green: Fel, Blue: ?, and Purple: Void. Cause those are the main colors of most the artifact appearances Paladins get.
Artifact skin were very clearly made to fit different transmog and insert a bit of variety in a expac where your weapon remained the same the entire time.
Now that being said, they should absolutely do themed spell colors like Warlock has.
And with the Hero talents, I think they have the perfect channel to do this and build upon different themes.
I think it’d be really nice to have race specific colors for spells. Humans keep yellow, dwarves get blue, draenei purple, belfs red, tauren orange, etc. but all with a yellow outline still to denote the holy aspect. Reminds me of the old days when we had Seal of Vengeance and Seal of Blood. It shouldn’t be that hard to implement either, I’d think.
