In WoW Forever, Light Initially Damages Forsaken Paladins during an introductory class quest. Wowhead reports that the interaction is present in a beta build that raises the level cap to 30.
What happens during the quest
The quest teaches Forsaken Paladins to cast Holy Light while healing five Injured Deathguards. Its text warns that using the Light to heal yourself or others can cause considerable pain. Each cast deals damage to the Undead Paladin, although the report says it normally is not enough to kill the character unless they are already close to death.
Wowhead says the damage was missing when the beta launched. It also attributes the intended behavior to Josh Greenfield, known as Aggrend, who explained that the quest was meant to hurt players. The later fix restores that interaction for newly created Forsaken Paladins.
What this means for players
The immediate effect is limited to the introductory quest described in the report: casting Holy Light is part of the lesson, but it also costs the character health. Players should not read this observation as confirmation of a wider Forsaken Paladin rule or a complete class mechanic.
The evidence covers a reported beta interaction, not a final launch specification. It does not give the exact damage value, identify the beta build number, establish whether the behavior will change again, or confirm its launch state.
