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. This gives the Paladin good play style options that can be great for a player who likes both the supporting role of a healer and the combat of the Warrior. 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. One reason for this is the fact that they wear heavy armor that can withstand heavy damage. With massive weapons such as 2 handed maces, axes, swords, and polearms they can dish out absolute distruction to their enemies.

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. These only have a life of 2 minute but in that time you can cause more damage in battle or generate some mana. Paladins are dependent on Mana because it’s what they use for their abilities such as spell casting.

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. For the 10 minutes they last you’ll be able to increase attacking power or regenerate mana.

Professions:

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

• Hearbalism & Alchemy: Conserve your mana by using potions for healing.
• Mining & Blacksmithing: With these you’ll be able to make your own armor instead of buying it or questing for it.
• Mining & Engineering: You can make gadgets like grenades which give you more ability for ranged attacks.
