With Patch 4.0.1 likely to be released this week, it was time for the Paladin class guide to get a huge update. After all this patch is a huge class changing event for Paladins. There is a whole new resource for us to use called Holy Power, brand new talent trees, new abilities, and more.

As a result of the changes coming in 4.0.1 almost the whole guide needed to be updated. The pages talking about the Paladin Class in general, basics, combat, equipment, spells and talents, and more have all been updated.

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 gained 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. You will be able to change the paladin’s primary role as you play and switch between tanking, causing damage and healing.

You can find all the details in our Paladin class guide located here: WoW Paladin Guide.
