The Paladin - what's he (or she!) all about? Is it a viable class, or just pretty window dressing? Messiah gives you all the details on the who/what/when/where/how of the Paladin in this extremely useful and informative guide to that class - I give you, "The Definitive Paladin Guide" by Messiah!

A Paladin is the Knight in shining armor in the World of Warcraft. The paladin is a hybrid class for the Alliance faction only that is a combination priest and warrior. While not strictly as good as either 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.
