Paladins are a plate wearing wielders of the light that offer a tremendous amount of group utility. As the Alliance’s hybrid class they are capable of Tanking, Healing, or Dealing Damage. With regard to leveling speed, Paladins are generally considered Tier 3, however, if you AOE grind with Sanctuary, Redoubt, and Reckoning you have the capacity to level faster than the vast majority of the playerbase.
Paladins have a pretty slow start from 1-31 in the Retribution Tree, however, at 32 they can respec Protection to a Reckoning Build which allows them to fight multiple mobs at once with little to no downtime.
Paladins are one of the only classes to actually benefit from fighting multiple mobs at once, as doing so allows them to build reckoning stacks faster - but more on that later!
Paladins have high sustain through casted heals that when talented have over 100% resistance to push back. Paladins are also unique in that they can pick which resource they want to generate in combat whether that be health through Seal of Light or Mana through Wisdom.
Paladins are also capable AoE damage dealers with high reflect damage and mitigation through one of the best talents in the game Redoubt.

3. General Tips for leveling a paladin
Here are some tips to progress quickly during your leveling as Paladin in classic wow.
- Ideally you should kill mobs of the same level, as they grant 100% of their base XP reward values. If a mob is 1 level higher you will gain only a portion of its base XP reward value. This effect also works in reverse and even more dramatically. If you are killing a mob that is even 1 level below, you will gain 10-20% less xp.
- Front Load Spells / Abilities to get natural mana regeneration per the 5 second rule ticking again ASAP, then finish mobs with white damage.
- Push the limits of your combat efficiency. If you are at full Health or Mana you are likely misplaying. Chain pull more aggressively, take more calculated risks, expend more resources per kill, do whatever it takes to keep things regenerating and on cooldown.
- Be adaptive with your damage rotation cycle - this is true for all classes. Think on your feet as your rotation will vary at different stages of the game based on a number of variables such as what ranks of spells / abilities do you have, mob lvl, mob abilities, armor / resistance, total hit points etc...
- The most important aspect of a Paladin Weapon is his Damage range more so than the weapon’s DPS value due to the nature of Seal of Righteousness, Seal of Command Procs and Reckoning Stacks.
- You can heal easily in any spec 40+ with Blessing of Light and down ranked Holy Light.
- Judgement is not on the Global Cooldown.
- Save Gold by not buying higher ranks of Hammer of Justice, or base ranks of Exorcism, Turn Undead, Blessing of Sacrifice, Holy Wrath, Seal of Justice, Auras.
- You may not need all 4 stacks of Reckoning to kill a mob. You may only need 2-3 so test it out and alter your rotation accordingly.
- Seal of Command only procs off of the first auto attack of a Reckoning Bomb. This is the main reason to use SoR > SoC when grinding with Reckoning.
- Your Paladin mount is a spell and will trigger a pause in natural mana regen. It also is not castable while your GCD is finishing.
4. Paladin addons
Swing Timer <- Click for Link to Addon
Every melee class should have a timer that tracks both your attacks and your enemies’ attacks.
This is important because you will need to weave both movement and abilities between cooldowns in your autos to prevent clipping into animations and missing damage.

5. Paladin macros
Start Attack Macros :Why are Start Attack Macros Important?
Start Attack Macros are important so you don’t have to manually right click mobs to attack them. You bake them into your abilities as a macro so even if you don’t have enough mana to use an ability, you will still attack the target.
Take a look the follow macros that most of legendary paladin are using usually.
Seal of Righteousness + target + Auto-attack
/castSeal of Justice
/Startattack
Seal of Wisdom + target + Auto-attack
/cast Seal of Wisdom
/Startattack
Seal of Crusader + target + Auto-attack
/castSeal of the Crusader
/Startattack
It will target for you, if you dont have target, will start auto attack and will cast Seal of Righteousness / Wisdom / Crusader,only if you don't have Seal of Righteousness / Wisdom / Crusader up already!You can spam this and will not toggle off your auto attack and will not cast Seal more than once (and waste you mana).
Seal of Wisdom + Holy Shield + Consecration (Lazy AoE)
/castsequence Seal of Wisdom, Holy Shield,Consecration
Next, there is a macro for AoE grind/farm. It will use Seal of Wisdom, Holy Shield and Consecration.. You can spam this, as it first checks if you have the Seal and holy shield up before it casts it.
Clear all debuffs (Cast Divine Shield and immediately remove it)
/cast Divine Shield
/unbuff Divine Shield
Will cast Divine Shield on first push and will cancel it on second. Simple spam this, to clear debuffs fast.

Edit
Complete the Reckoning build as below:
More info about the Reckoning build: 0/32/19
The core assumption with this build is that AoE grinding with Sanctuary, Redoubt, and Reckoning will be the fastest way to 60.
From 1-32 you will go a straightforward Ret path prioritizing sustain with Blessing of Wisdom over Might and Judging SoR on CD. You respec at 32 because you can get 3/5 Reckoning which represents the efficiency breaking point for it to be reliable.
Ideally you should strive for a slow 2H weapon with high damage range using SoC and HoJ on CD, however, if only faster weapons are available use SoR. SotC is not worth it to kill on average mobs ad should only be judged if you will extract its full value from the fight.
You get Seal of Light ranks every 10 levels (30, 40, 50, 60). From levels 30-35, 40-45, 50-55 SoL will have the highest impact as it was newly obtained. For these levels you can be more aggressive about pulling. SoL is used for multi target Reckoning rotation so as the efficiency of SoL dies down from 35-40, 45-50, 55-60 consider using 2H ST rotation with SoR instead of SoL.
1H Weapon specialization: conviction as paladins don’t benefit as much from crit as say Warriors. Also, Reckoning can potentially be overkill at times so smoother more consistent damage is better.
If you plan on tanking dungeons you can shave off 3 points in Toughness for Improved Righteous Fury to drastically help you with TPS.
7. DPS Cycle and Sceal choices
All you have to know about the seal is here:
Seal of Command
- Best with slow 2H weapon
- 3.5 Weapon speed or Slower
- Bis Seq to use Pre-32 if you have the weapon to support it.
- This will proc 7 times per minute (PPM). This PPM is how the
You can’t increase the PPM but you can increase the damage per proc with a slow 2H.You can also twist seals using SoC (Soul of crusader).
Seal of the Crusader
- Judge during long fights
- Fights 30 sec+
Judge Sotc before SoR or SoC on long fights where you will be able to extract full value from the holy damage bonus.SotC was broken for a long while on certain private servers such as Kronos and light hope buffing attack power but not reducing attack damage.
Seal of Righteousness
- Best with fast weapon
- 3.4 weapon speed or faster
Best seal to use with weapon that is 3.4 speed or faster. Best seal to use when you are ST killing with reckoning.
Each Reck stack benefits from SoR as opposed to SoC. If you can sustain through the mana cost this seal on cooldown as it offers instant damage.
What is Reckoning?
Reckoning is a Tier 5 Talent in the Protection Tree that when fully ranked 5/5 gives you a 100% Chance to gain an extra attack after being hit critically.
This effect stacks up to 4 times and doesn’t go away until used. Thus the term Reck bomb was coined where Pallys stack up max stacks and save them till an opportune time to deal massive damage to a player or npc.
DPS Cycle LVL 1-32:
- If you are ever at 100% HP you are likely misplaying - push the limits of your combat efficiency.
- Train First Aid is plus to save mana.
- Save every single copper - you will need money for weapon upgrades. Buy white weapons from the vendors as your money permits.
Here is the cycle of dps to respect for these levels.
If you fight a boss:
DPS Cycle LVL 32-60:
Multi-Target Reckoning (Setup & Rotation)
Start with 1H + Shield equipped, buff Blessing os sanctuary and the Retribution Aura should be enabled.
Single Target Reckoning (Setup & Rotation
Start with 2H equipped, buff Blessing of Wisdom. And put the Ret or Dev Aura.
Full Retribution
Use 2H with SoC.
Use Blessing of Wisdom unless mana is not an issue.
If fighthing 2+ mobs use Ret Aura if ST use Sanctify.
8. Best gear for leveling as paladin
As we highly recommend the Reckoning Build for leveling:
- Strength > Stam > Intellect > Agi > Spirit
Strength (often abbreviated STR) has the following effects:
- Increases attack power with melee weapons, paladins gain 2 melee attack power per point of strength.
- Strength does not improve the chance to block but it increases the amount of damage that can be blocked with a shield.
Agility (often abbreviated AGI) has the following effects:
- Increases chance to score a critical hit with a weapon. You gain 1% critical chance increased for each 20 points of agility. Increases chance to dodge attacks. For every 20 points in agility you will gain 1% chance to dodge.
Attack Power:
Attack power (AP) increases your base DPS by 1 for every 14 attack power. For example, an AP of 28 will give you 2 DPS.
Keep on mind, 1 Point of DPS = 7 Strength = 14 Attack Power
Melee, 2h or 1h + shield: 5%
Melee, dual wield: not possible as Paladin.
Enchants
While there are many different ways of playing your Ret Paladin, there is only one enchantment that stands above all others:
Permanently enchant a weapon to occasionally steal some of the health of the foe and give it to the wielder.
Why is Lifestealing so good for ret paladin? Cause it has a 50-60% proc rate and also scales with spell dmg and debuffs on the target so it's uber good.
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND CRUSADER ENCHANT FOR RETRIBUTION AS ITS PROC RATE IS MUCH LESS FOR US COMPARED TO ROGUES AND WARRIORS.
