Hakker's In Depth Paladin Guide v1.0

Changelog
Version 1.0: Im going to try and update this build a lot similar to my warlock guide. I plan on having many of the same sections i did there. This build is NOT complete yet

Hi, this is my second guide for this sight, and obviously i like classes that get free mounts! (my first guide was about warlocks). This guide focuses around a Tri-Way Retribution build, although rarely used, I've found it to be the fastest leveling build that I've tried.

Talents
10-14: 5/5 Improved Devotion Aura
15-19: 3/3 Precision And 2/2Guardians Favor (do this in any order you want)
20: 1/1 Blessing of Kings
21-25: 5/5 Improved Blessing of Might
26-28: 3/3Improved Seal of the Crusader
28-30: 2/2 Improved Judgments
31-35: 5/5 Conviction
36: 1/1 Seal of Command
37-38: 2/2 Eye for an Eye
39-41: 3/3 Crusade
42-44: 3/3 Two Handed Weapon Specialization
45: 1/1 Sancity Aura
46-50: 5/5 Vengeance
51-53: 3/3 Sanctified Judgment
54: 1/1 Repentance
55-57: 3/3 Sanctified Crusader
58-62: 5/5 Fanaticism
63: 1/1 Crusader Strike
64-68: 5/5 Divine Strength
69-70: You can really do anything with these last points, I recommend Benediction or Improved Sancity Aura

How to use this build
This build is much more straightforward than my warlock build, but basically, use seal of the crusader, judge it, and then use seal of command. From then on spam your crusader strike until the mob is dead, reapply seals if necessary. If you need to you can use judgment of light for an added healing bonus to reduce downtime. Or you could use judgment of wisdom for mana Regen. For blessings i recommend using Blessing of Kings, or if you really want to blessing of might.

Gear Selection
+holy damage/damage is necessary for this build to work. stack that for crusader strike. Otherwise keep an eye out for 'Of the Eagle' Gear. This gear was basically made for paladins. ALWAYS look for mail gear before 40, past that, theres really no point in getting mail unless the buffs to you are a lot compared to the armor loss.

My Stand on Teir 0/0.5
Typically i would not recommend getting t0/t.5 because there are much better options for this level, sure the bonuses are great (and paladins look sexy in it ((except for the helm Sticking out tongue)) ^^), stat wise there are much much better options.

How to Level
Grind and quest at the same time. Either look for multiple quests that involve killing the same mobs, or look for multiple quests in the same areas. The more quests you can get done before running back to turn in, the faster your leveling will go. Also, remember to set your hearth to new places frequently. Every time you plan to level in a new place for more than an hour, set your hearth there, as the time saved by teleporting back to the nearest down instead of running is incredible. Perfect guides on where to find these areas can be found here:

James' Leveling Guides - http://www.wow-pro.com/node/692

Joanna's Horde Leveling Guide - You can *~(BUY)~* this guide at www.joanasworld.com

Brian Kopp's Leveling Guide- You can *~(BUY)~* this guide at www.briankopp.com

If you have the money to spend, i recommend brian's/joana's guides, but otherwise jame's guide is awesome for a free guide. If you REALLY have to have joana's/kopp's guide you can download it from Bit torrent or Lime wire or other p2p utilities. However ****~~~~~(USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK)~~~~~****

While the last one is meant for mage, it shows some good grinding areas.

Thats all so far, I hope this helped you level your paladin Smiling GoodLuck!
