The Paladin a melee warrior and a secondary spell caster/healer. They are able to resurrect the dead and heal alliance characters. Paladins are even able to wear plate armors making them one of the most defensive classes in the game. The Paladins strategy in World of Warcraft is to support the priest and warrior with tanking and healing. They are able to guide and tank for their party just as well as a warrior. The Paladin’s build is very similar to Blizzard’s older game Diablo 2 and Mythic’s Dark Age of Camelot with the idea of Auras. Auras are unique spells, when cast it stays in effect but only one at a time. Paladins are given three types of Auras. Devotion Aura which increases your party members armor, Healing aura, which can only be used outside of combat and Retribution which causes damage to any monster that hits a member of your party. Along with their skill in use of Auras, they can also cast Seals. Seals are a short term buff but only one allowed at a time. Very similar to how Auras work. One of the most power spells of the Paladin is the Divine Shield which protects the Paladin from all attacks and spells for a short period of time but reduces their attack speed. Seals can be combined with Auras allowing them to have great defense in every aspect. The Paladins talent tree is Holy, Protection, and Retribution. With all these tools, the Paladin is a versatile character with the talent of a warrior, spellcaster, and healer that every player would quest or pvp with in World of Warcraft.
