World of Warcraft Paladin Guide
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. In many ways they’re a combination of the Priest and Warrior classes. This fact makes the Paladin class a great choice for those who like both the Priest and Warrior class but want more options in play style. The Paladin class is only available to the Human, Dwarf, Draenei, and Blood Elf races.
Among their strengths, which I’ll talk about later, is their fantastic ability in battle. This is due in part to the heavy plate armor they wear which can take 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 hand they’re great healers, able to heal not only themselves but also their allies not to mention they can resurrect the dead. This combined with their aura and blessing abilities make them great additions to 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’ abiliities such as casting spells depend heavily on mana.
These spells can also provide Judgement on your enemies which can cause even more damage on them or stop them 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.
