World of Warcraft Paladin Guide

Posted December 8th, 2004 by Messiah

Ten Ton Hammer's Class Guides - Paladin

 


A Paladin is the Knight in shining armor in the World of Warcraft. The paladin is a hybrid class that was initially for the Alliance faction only that is a combination priest and warrior. With the release of the Burning Crusade, Horde now have access to the class through the Blood Elf race. While not strictly as good as either base class at doing either function, they are flexible and allow choices in their role in groups. If you like warriors but want the option to do something other than just combat, or like the priest but don't want to be just a supporting character, then the paladin may be for you. I find a paladin’s primary role in the World of Warcraft is being a combination tank / healer in a party. You can do other things as well, but I find it best soaking up hits and protecting others with heals.

We here at WoW - Ten Ton Hammer have gathered together as much possible information as we could about the Paladin class and compiled it together here in our massive guide. Tactics, loot, where to level, skills, talent builds, and more are contained in our "tome of knowledge" that is the Paladin guide. Everything you could possibly want to know about the Paladin class is just a few clicks away!

If you are seeking information that somehow isn't included in our Paladin Class Guide then join us in discussion at our Paladin forums! Here you can discuss the class in detail with the community! You can even submit information to be added to our Paladin guide and gain the fame of helping advance one of the best sources of Paladin information on the Internet.

Blizzard's Official Paladin Description

The official word on Paladin!

Guardians of the Holy Light and defenders of the Alliance, paladins bolster their allies with holy auras and blessing to protect their friends from harm and enhance their powers. Wearing heavy armor, they can withstand terrible blows in the thickest battles while healing their wounded allies and resurrecting the slain. In combat, they can wield massive two-handed weapons, stun their foes, destroy undead and demons, and judge their enemies with holy vengeance. Paladins are a defensive class designed to outlast their opponents.

The Paladin is a mix of a melee fighter and a secondary spell caster. The Paladin is ideal for groups due to the Paladin's healing, Blessings, and other abilities. Paladins can have one active aura per Paladin on each party member and use specific Blessings for specific players. Paladins are pretty hard to kill, thanks to their assortment of defensive abilities. The Paladin can also heal with Holy Light, unlike other combat classes. The Paladin is an Undead specific fighter as well, with several abilities designed to be used against the Undead.
