GAME. It’s all here!

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. The unique attributes of the Paladin are in many regards a combination of the Warrior and Priest. 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.

I’ll go into some of the Paladin’s strengths later but one thing they’re really good at is combat. This is due in part to the heavy plate armor they wear which can take heavy damage. Secondly, they can use massive weapons including two handed maces, axes, swords and polearms that can absolutely destroy enemies like the Undead.

On the other hand they’re great healers, able to heal not only themselves but also their allies not to mention they can resurrect the dead. To a group the Paladin, with their healing, auras and blessings, is a really powerful ally.

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. Paladins’ abiliities such as casting spells depend heavily on mana.

Seals can also provide Judgment which can cause more damage or prevent enemies 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: Make grenades and other gadgets to increase attack range.
