Paladin Talents
The Paladin has access to 35 different talents (passive skills) in Diablo 4.
As more points are allocated into the skill tree, additional talent choices become available. Unlike skills, however, talents are passive. This means that you do not have to actively equip them in order to use them.
Each talent can be given up to 3 skill points, except for the powerful Keystone Passives, which can only be given one skill point.
For a detailed list of Paladin skills, refer to our Paladin Skills page.
For more general information about the class, refer to our Paladin Guide.
