PvP Guide for Paladin | How To Build A Holy Paladin
by Henda2 on Feb.10, 2010, under General
For you who enjoy spending your time at the PvP Arena with your teamates, I believe that you will find this paladin guide for pvp very useful. With a paladin in your team, you will gain serious advantages over your opponent such as blessings and healing. If you ever fight or watch a skillful Holy paladin in action, you will notice how he/she can be very annoying and hard to kill.
Being a Holy Paladin doesn’t mean that you have to go deep in Holy tree; some paladins in the Arena PvP have tried to combine Holy and Retribution and it is works well for them. However, in this Holy Paladin talent build I will focus on Holy/Protection build (all maxed except the one that I put note):
Holy
1. Spiritual Focus: you are going to cast Holy Light often, so this is very useful.
2. Healing Light: increasing your healing power.
3. Divine Intellect; put only one point here
4. Unyielding Faith: your tool against Warlocks and Priest.
5. Aura Mastery: an anti Silence; nice since you are nothing without your spells.
6. Illumination: another mana source.
7. Improved Concentration Aura: Reduce duration of Interrupt.
8. Pure of Heart: another anti Warlock skill.
9. Divine Favor: when you need greater healing or damage.
10. Sanctified Light: chance to increase your healing and attack.
11. Holy Power: increase the critical effect chance for your Holy spells.
12. Light’s Grace: Useful in emergency situations.
13. Holy Shock: instant damage for your enemy or healing for your allies.
14. Holy Guidance: make your spells even more powerful.
15. Divine Illumination: cast this first before you cast a spell that cost much mana; obvious example: Beacon of Light.
16. Judgement of the Pure: power up for your Judgement spells; piss your enemy even further.
17. Infusion of Light: can be useful in some conditions.
18. Enlightened Judgements: another power up for your Judgement spells.
19. Beacon of Light: Saves mana when you have to heal more than one character. Based on the situation, you may have to cast it on yourself.
Note: Beacon of Light cost 35% of your base mana, which is a lot. If possible, use Divine Illumination before using Beacon of Light.
Protection
1. Divinity: increase your healing.
2. Stoicism: good protection against stun.
3. Guardian’s Favor: power up your hand spells.
4. Divine Sacrifice: use it with your bubble spells.
5. Improved Righteous Fury: make it even more difficult to kill you.
6. Toughness (1 point).
7. Divine Guardian: make you even harder.
8. Improved Hammer of Justice: annoy your enemies and save your allies. Other Paladin PvP guide may suggest taking Improved Devotion Aura instead, but I believe more Hammer of Justice can save your team from many potential dangers.
Holy Paladin talent build offer many ways to keep you and your allies save; don’t only stick to your healing spells to keep the team survivability, use other spells such as Sacred Shield, Hand of Sacrifice, and Divine Sacrifice.It is very important to be versatile so you can adapt to various situation;eg: read this rogue talent build to see a solid example of a versatile build.
Keep remind yourself that put Hand of Sacrifice and Divinde Sacrifice doesn’t mean that you will be in dangerous situation. If the situation gets dangerous, use Beacon of Light on yourself and start bursting healing spells on your teammates.
Different Paladin PvP Guide focus on different playing style, but I think Holy Paladin is hold more important role in PvP Arena than the one that focused on damage dealing. By playing your abilities and spells strategically (remember, you have limited mana), you can keep your entire team alive and at the same time help them finishing the other team.
