Warcraft Leveling Guides

Introduction

Speed leveling a paladin is something that you will not hear a lot about. This is because you can’t speed level a Paladin and if this is the class you have chosen you will be in for a bit of a grind. The protection tree however has undergone some major changes and is now a viable leveling choice with reckoning a much needed addition. The talent build I have recommended for the fastest leveling includes both retribution and protection giving you a few different styles of fighting to try. Grind leveling is said to be the quickest method from level 35 onwards so you will need to respec before you get to level 70 on this one.

Fighting Strategies

As you may already have guessed from the introduction, a Paladin is one class I have not personally leveled. My highest level was only 15 then I got bored, so I used the official warcraft forums and the Killers Guide to Paladins for the information.

Which every way you spec you will be a slow killer compared to anyone else. Almost every Paladin will admit at some point in leveling that they are not an offensive character. Nearly all the Paladins abilities are centered around them being a defensive support class with virtually no abilities to increse their damage. With this in mind you will probably find it better to focus on questing rather than grinding is far more efficient in leveling fast, at least form level 1-60.

The first thing you must remember is that a Paladins damage will only come partly from Melee but mainly by holy damage. This holy damage should not be underestiamted though, it cannot be resisted like magic can and it is not reduced by armour like phyisical damge so as you level up its strength becomes greater. This type of damage will be yielded in three ways seals, judgments and spells.

Pretty much any paladin, holy, protection, or retribution, will want to wear some “of the eagle” gear combined with “of the bear” for some strength, health, and a good mana pool.

If there is someone who would like to write a better Paladin leveling guide than this (won’t really be hard) then you would be most welcome to contact dunk[at]elitewarcraftguides[dot]com and we could have a chat,
