Tips for a new Paladin.  

Bloodelf are good at holy - type paladins. Actually the best race for paladins are human (priest too)since their beginning stats are all same, exactly what a versatile class needs. Bloodelf lacks strength, which causes them to have no warrior class. But still, ur lack in strength can be made up with good gears, but you'll not be as good as other classes paladins if both of your gears are the same.


tell me what specs u wanna be in.... I know some stuff about shockadins and retri paladins.

I wanted to update this even though its an old thread. I've been playing Paladin as my main for about 6 months now and love it. The damage per second (DPS) is great and easy to do and its also fairly easy to pick up and start healing with a Paladin as well.

If you're trying to be a DPS then its best to focus on strength items, and if you wanna do Healing try to get high Intelligence items (including gemming your items for int.

To DPS theres a formula, or lack thereof, called FCFS (literally: first come first serve)Just start using your attacks then reuse them as they come off cooldown and are usable again. Certain cooldowns should be used first if theres a tie in them being ready, but thats not super important when you are starting out as just getting the rhythm down of using your skills all the time and realizing how to use your mana effectively.

For specifics on being a healer join a guild, make some friends and get advice from the senior healers that have been around awhile, you'll be doing a great job in no time.
Hope this helps some.
