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. Their unique play style makes them in many ways a combination of Priests and Warriors. 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. One reason for this is the fact that they wear heavy armor that can withstand heavy damage. They can also destroy enemies in battle with their massive weapons such as 2 handed maces, axes, swords, and polearms.
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. For the 2 minute these last you can increase your ability to cause damage or generate 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. 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: You can make gadgets like grenades which give you more ability for ranged attacks.
