Since the beginning of the World of Warcraft a Paladin class belonged only to Alliance. With the Burning Crusade, players of the Horde finally got the chance to roll a Paladin class.The only race with the Horde that could role a Paladin is the Blood Elf race while for the Alliance a Paladin could be rolled by Humans, Dwarfs and also the newly introduced race – the Draenei.
A Paladin class is one of the hybrid classes in WoW since they can be tanks, healers or melee damage dealers. 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 want to try out tanking with your Pally then make sure you assign your talent points to the Protection talent tree. Click here to watch the video: WoW Paladin.
If healing is what interests you then the Holy talent tree will be a good choice. When it comes to Paladin’s healing abilities he is considered to be very skilful healer on single targets# Paladin may not be the best healer but he can still be on top of the healing meter since his heals are fast. A Paladin doesn’t have HoT spells (Healing Over Time) and his healing is mainly based on flash heals therefore his gear needs to be rich in critical strike rating and spell power. Retribution Paladins are pure melee damage dealers. With the Wrath of the Lich King, Retri Palas became popular in PvE as well and are quite often used in raids.
It doesn’t really matter if you play PvP or PvE more, all other players will highly respect you because of your blessings. Blessing of Might is a blessing used by the melee dps classes like feral druids, dps warriors and rogues, and ranged dps like hunters also have a good use from it. A perfect blessing for healers will definitely be the Blessing of Wisdom which will grant any mana user additional mana regeneration while for tanks and basically any class Blessing of Kings would be great since it enhances all of the player’s 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 Guide Review
When it comes to other spells and abilities, a Paladin can resurrect players who have died and dispel as well. However, these skills have not made a Paladin famous, it is his “bubble” spell that made a Paladin the “undying” class. By using this spell, a Pally can protect himself from any damage like a spell or physical attack coming his way. A Paladin wears plate armor which is the strongest armor in game. 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. If your style of game play is PvE be assured that as a Paladin you will be welcome in any raid or instance group regardless of your spec. In PvP, with the right kind of gear healing and melee dps Paladins also rule and are highly appreciated.
