Talent Trees

The Paladin has three differentiating talent trees as you may have read in the world of warcraft paladin guide found on the Blizzard website. Each one of them is designed to specialize the Paladin in either dealing damage, tanking, or healing.


Retribution Paladin

The Retribution Paladin is the damage dealing version of the Paladin. The talent tree has a lot of nice talents that enhance the damage skills of the Paladin and also gives him several new abilities. Retribution Paladins are feared on the battlegrounds and are very capable to pretty much have most of the other classes bite the dust. On PvE occasions they are also great as they provide the raid with some nice buffs and are still capable to do great amounts of damage. The Retribution talent tree improves the Retribution Aura of the Paladin and also gives them several great melee strikes that do a lot of damage.  This can sound a bit confusing, but with a reliable world of warcraft paladin guide it will explain everything in more step-by-step detail which you can understand better. The great thing about a Paladin, compared to other damage dealers like Rogues and Hunters in example, is that they can still heal themselves with a variety of healing abilities. The Retribution Paladin should aim to get a lot of Strength, Agility, Critical Strike Rating and Hit Rating on his gear for PvE purposes and additional Stamina and Resilience for PvP purposes. Again get a good world of warcraft paladin guide and you can achieve this. You may need to by a guide such as the Ultimate World of Warcraft Guide but it will be worth it. I know this because purchasing a warcraft guide has helped me.

Protection Paladin

Many world of warcraft paladin guides forget to mention the protection paladins and how they operate. The Protection Paladin is the tanking version of the Paladin. With the Protection talent tree a Paladin is able to become a tough cookie because his Stamina, Defense, Block abilities etc. are improved while he gains some special attacks with his shield that also protect the Paladin and produce a lot of threat as well which keeps all the mobs on the Paladin. The Paladin is known to be one of the, if not the best AoE (Area of Effect aka multiple mobs) tank compared to the Warrior, Druid and Death Knight. This is the reason why the Protection Paladin usually has the task in raids to gather additional NPC enemies and gather them while others kill them and another tank fights the main bosses. The Protection Paladin should be capable to take a few hits. There for one should try to get a lot of Stamina, Defense, Dodgde Rating, Block Rating, and Parry Rating.


Holy Paladin

The Holy Paladin is the Healing version of the Paladin. Using Holy healing spells is what he does and he’s quite good at it to! The Holy Paladin is well known for his quick heals, called Flash Heal. The basic idea behind a Paladin healer is to get as much possible critical strike rating on the gear in order to make critical heals. The critical heals refund 60% of the mana used to cast the heal. This means that the Paladin will not only make bigger heals through his critical strikes, but also gets a lot of mana back from casting his spells. Additionally he will need a decent amount of Intellect which boosts the amount of mana he has and a great amount of spell power which will make his heals more powerful.

All together, the Paladin is a fun hybrid class to choose because you can always change your talent build if you want to switch between being a healer, damage dealer or tank. Combine all this with power of a world of warcraft paladin guide and you will dominate Warcraft for sure.
