World of Warcraft Paladin Guide

The WoW Paladin is a pretty diverse class in that it combines magic with melee. The Paladin class is one of the most popular classes for that reason. They can be healers, tanks or dps. Groups will usually need at least one Paladin if they want to have a successful endgame and playing this class at least once is highly recommended.

Getting Started

Once you have made the decision to play as a Paladin, you’ll need to pick the race for your character. It’s a good idea to start out with the race that you are most comfortable with since this is a versatile class.

You’ll have to master both weaponry and healing if you want to excel as a Paladin, but it is well worth your time. This can be a great class if you are unsure of what role you want to play. As you can be a healer, a tank or dps. This will allow you to experiment with all three.

Paladins rely heavily on mana, so you need to keep an eye on this in battle.

The Tools of the Paladin

In addition to the typical armor and weapons, the Paladin class has some unique tools that are beneficial to the entire group. Let’s take a look at each one:

Auras - These are very powerful and can be used to protect just the Paladin or the entire group. They will protect the group within a 30 yard radius, so it is very effective to use one of these while you are in a group or a raid. These can be great when in large groups if there are multiple paladins to use different auras. You will want to use the ones that will benefit the group the most.

Seals - These are a special kind of spell that is also unique to the Paladin class. They are used for either regeneration or to increase your skills during a battle. Only one can be used at any one time, but when managed properly, they can be very useful. You can also use Seals against your enemies. In this case, they usually have the opposite effect of what they would grant to you. For example, if you have a healing seal on yourself, it would deplete the health of your enemy when used on them.

Blessings - This is the last unique item for a Paladin but it is incredibly powerful. A Paladin can use blessings to bestow certain gifts on an entire group or just themselves. The effects of a blessing can last up to fifteen minutes in some cases and can provide extra strength, extra health or even extra skills.
