Roll Call

A friend of mine was surprised at the number of characters I had as paladins so I thought for my amusement I would list them off (Just the over 80s) in no particular order.

Hunters;

Transmog, Hero of the Light

For the most part I try and make transmog sets something that isnt too difficult to work on.  For this set though your going to have to work.

So I bring you the Hero of the Light!

That just screams paladin doesnt it?  Now lets look at how you get it.

Transmog, Argent Defender

Paladins have many very fine outfits to chose from.  Ill soon be touching on the Conquest gear from Northrend but I wanted to bring up the Savage gear first - mostly because I gathered it up because I thought it looked that awesome.  In fact I wore it into Cataclysm leveling :)

So I present to you the Argent Defender!

Warrior/Paladin tanking gear

This will list off a general best in slot to gather as you get closer to the end of leveling up.  Their listed off at lowest value/easiest to get to highest.  

Once you have your gear assembled reforge it to optimize it.  

I wont add in the new heroic heroics yet.  Basically anything you find in there thats tanking gear will likely be the best.

Warrior Tanking Gear

Level 10-30 Paladin Talents

So I have another opinion that may set more experienced player's view upside down, especially if you have a full set of heirlooms.  If thats you make sure to read the notes at the end.

So your out judgin' crimes and having a good old time and you hit level 10, time to pick your only specialization till you get a second one at 30.  What to pick?  Well theres a few things you need to know.

Paladins get their first real healing spell (Flash Heal) at 16.  That means Holy is out the window till then.  Holy Shock is nice but its cooldown makes it of limited value and honestly the whole shockadin thing for leveling is just slow and painful.

This leaves Retribution (Ret) and Protection (Prot).  Now Blizzard really Jumped the Shark with this one.

The Cataclysmic Paladin

A quick look at the power of the paladin to get us started.

Yay kitties!

1 - Crusader's Strike: An extra melee swing with a 4.5 sec cooldown that will make holy power at level 9.
3 - Judgement: A 10 yard ranged holy power attack with an 8 sec cooldown, must have a seal on to use.
3 - Seal of Righteousness: You do extra holy damage when you hit things.  Always keep this on.  Lasts 30 min.
