Paladins, the ideal melee fighter with secondary spell casts, is the go-to for WoW classic players looking to dominate in groups, due to its healing, blessing and other abilities. These Guardians of the Holy Light can withstand even the harshest blows, all while helping their teammates.
If you’re looking to become a Paladin in WoW Classic, we’ve compiled a comprehensive guide featuring everything you should know about Paladins to get started! By the way, check out our classic wow gold cooking guide if you need.
Why Paladin? Pros and Cons
So, why do WoW classic players choose Paladin? More importantly, why do some choose to stay away from Paladin? Let’s evaluate its pros and cons!
One of the biggest advantages of Paladins are that they can wield heavy Armor, which can allow them to take large amounts of damage and still stay standing. Furthermore, they have the ability to heal their allies, as well as resurrect them. They can cast auras and blessings which have benefits to not only them but also their fellow players and they can summon a Warhorse mount.
On the other hand, they are heavily dependent on using mana for their abilities, both offensively and defensively. They have minimal capabilities at range, which can make it quite hard to win in combat.
Paladin Races
The unique feature of Paladins is that they are exclusive to the Alliance faction. Therefore, the only races you can choose are Humans and Dwarves. If you’re looking to be a healer, then you should go towards the human route. However, if you’re more into PvP and Battlegrounds action, then go for the dwarves.
Paladin Weapons
In regard to weapons to use with a Paladin, there’s a variety! Usually, people choose to stick to one-handed maces or two-handed maces, but we’ve also seen people using polearms, one-handed swords, two-handed swords, one-handed axes and two-handed axes. We’ve done the research, and we’ve produced an optimal weapon progression for Paladins. Feel free to mix it around and see what works best for you!
