This is one of the most versatile of classes and it would take a much longer world of warcraft guide on paladins than this one to cover all there is not know about paladins. But hopefully you will get a good idea from this article about what it takes to be a paladin.<\/p>\n<p>Paladins are a class of their own. They&#8217;re said to be hybrids of warriors, Priests and other DPS classes like Mages or Warlocks. By the way, DPS means Damage Per Second which means a class which give out lots of melee damage or close combat damage.<\/p>\n<p>Even if they borrow these specialist traits from classes who are better recognized for having them, the Paladin&#8217;s use of them is so powerful that they are probably one of the most difficult classes in WoW to kill and get the better of in PvP (player versus player combat). As a warrior myself I tend to really steer away from them as they are the equivalent of fighting another equally well armoured warrior that not only can heal him or herself but can also cast spells. That is awesome power and imo quite unfair.<\/p>\n<p>Paladins excel at tanking thanks to one of their spells and abilities trees, namely: the &#8220;Protection  Tree&#8221;. Here, special spells available such as &#8220;Consecration&#8221;, &#8220;Retribution&#8221; and &#8220;Holy Shield&#8221; contribute to allowing paladins to have very powerful tanking abilities which in some raids and instances are sought up in groups above any of the other tanking classes.<\/p>\n<p>One of the other two trees available to Paladins is the &#8220;Retribution&#8221; tree from which paladins can pick spells and abilities that allow them to deal lots of DPS or close combat &#8220;melee&#8221; damage against the enemies they are fighting against. Here such spells like &#8220;Crusader Strike&#8221; and &#8220;Seal of Command&#8221; allow the paladin to be a class that is very useful during raids.<\/p>\n<p>Holy Warrior is the third tree and is the tree where paladins can attain abilities to increase their healing power. Their healing speciality is to heal different players in their group. The fact that they can also fight as warriors and can heal makes them very useful as back up to tanks and since they can heal they can also back up priests. Any good group should have a paladin not only because of the fact that they can back up priests or warriors but also because they can do the same job just as well but with added abilities on top.<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it, whether you fancy yourself as a healing priest, or a tank raging warrior or a DPS expert like a Mage or Shaman, there is no need to start up one of these classes when a Paladin does all three things at once. Also, this is a class that in WoW is highly effective in groups and ideal for all the end game activities like raids and large instances where the services of paladins are highly rated.<\/p>\n<div class='uawresource'>\n<div style='italic;' class='uawabout'>About the Author:<\/div>\n<div class='uawlinks'>With the following killer  <a id=\"link_75\" target=\"_new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.worldofwarcraftguides.info\/classes\/wow-paladin-guide.html\">World of Warcraft Paladin Guide<\/a>, you will learn how to: dominate PvP, source the best gear, discover places to farm for gold how to reach lvl 70 in less than a week and much, much more<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It would be very difficult to say all there is to say about paladin in a few paragraphs.
