Our Paladin guide got its turn to be refreshed with a completely new easier to follow main page. Also over the past few weeks several sections have been completely redone, so if you haven't visited it in a while or are a new paladin with the Burning Crusade, now is a good time to check it out.

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.
