For quite some time, Paladins could only be rolled by the players who belonged to the Alliance side. With the Burning Crusade, players of the Horde finally got the chance to roll a Paladin class.However, they can only role this class if they choose the Blood Elf race while for the Alliance a Paladin is available with the Human, Dwarf and Draenei race.

A Paladin belongs to the hybrid classes WoW has to offer since he can specialize to be a good tank, healer or melee dps. This class is really fun to play and you are promised to never get bored since you can change your game play style whenever you like. Pally tanks are famous for their AoE tanking ability, which means that they can tank multiple targets. If you choose to play a Paladin tank, you will need to make a good build using the Protection tree. Click here to watch the video: WoW Paladin Guide.

If you choose to become a Paladin healer your talent points will need to go on the Holy tree. Paladin is a good single target healer, his heals are fast and he can easily be on the top of all other healers in the raid. He doesn’t have any HoTs aka Healing Over Time spells but his Flash heals are really fast and his gear needs to have as much spell power as possible and a lot of critical strike rating. Retribution Paladins are good melee dpsers and for a long time they were only PvP oriented. For quite some time they were considered to be only good for PvP but since the Wrath of the Lich King came out, Retri Paladins became more wanted in raids.

Paladins are famous for their blessings which are very useful for the raid members but also highly valued in PvP. Blessing of Might (BoM) gives the party members additional attack power and therefore feral druids, rogues, dps warriors and hunters love it. They also have Blessing of Wisdom which gives mp5 (Mana Per 5 Seconds) and is preferred by the healers and Blessing of Kings (BoK) which enhances all stats by 10%. BoK is usually the most wanted blessing and all classes, especially tanks will have great use of it. For more information on WoW class guides, read our review: Warcraft Pros Review

Same as the Priest class, a Paladin class can also resurrect and dispel. The most popular Paladin spell is surely “the bubble”. When a Pally uses this spell he will become immune to any damage done to him and while being in a bubble he can still heal himself and his party members. Paladins wear armor made from plate which gives them extra durability and armor. However, Paladins need mana for their spells and attacks so their armor greatly differs from the one DKs and Warriors wear since it has spell power, mp5 and intellect.

Crit is also essential for his spells since a Paladin has the ability to gain mana back each time his spell crits. While playing in PvE you will surely have a nice time with a Pala since you can change his build any time you like and still be very useful to your friends or guild mates. Same goes for PvP so keep in mind that Paladins are one of the best PvP classes to play.

In this WoW Paladin Guide you’ll learn about the Paladin and strategies specific to this WoW class.

Paladin: Introduction

In Warcraft the Paladin is the holy knight or holy warrior. In many ways they’re a combination of the Priest and Warrior classes. If you want a flexible play style with aspects of both the Priest and Warrior then this could be the perfect class for you. Humans, Dwarves, Draenei, and Blood Elves are the only races that can play as Paladins.

Among their strengths, which I’ll talk about later, is their fantastic ability in battle. This is due in part to the heavy plate armor they wear which can take heavy damage. They can also destroy enemies in battle with their massive weapons such as 2 handed maces, axes, swords, and polearms.

On the other end of the spectrum they’re incredible healers that not only heal themselves but also heal allies and resurrect the dead. Along with this their ability to use auras and blessings on allies makes them a fantastic memeber of any group.

WoW Paladin Guide: The Basics

Spells:

Being secondary spell casters, Paladins are able to cast spells known as Seals. They only last about 2 minutes but can give bonuses during battle such as being able to cause more damage or even generate more mana. Mana is extremely important as it is use for many of the Paladins abilities such as spell casting.

These spells can also provide Judgement on your enemies which can cause even more damage on them or stop them from fleeing.

Auras:

With a bubble of up to 40 yards Auras provide really good buffs to groups.

Blessings:

Blessings are like auras but apply to characters. With these you can regenerate your mana or increase your attacking power for about 10 minutes.

Professions:

In conclusion of this WoW Paladin Guide I’ll give you a quick look at some good profession combinations for the Paladin.

• Hearbalism with Alchemy: With this combo you can use potions for healing rather than waste you mana.
• Mining with Blacksmithing: Make your armor yourself instead of getting it at the Auction House or through questing.
• Mining & Engineering: You can make gadgets like grenades which give you more ability for ranged attacks.
