Holy Paladin

“ Sorry for copy/pasting this article to my blog. It’s just to damn good not to ”

The Burning Crusade and beyond, by Zyuu
A well played Paladin is a great addition to any raiding guild or small group, PVP-wise too. With this guide I will try to

cover how to play your paladin to the best of its abilities. I will not cover any off-specs such as Retribution and

Protection, only Holy.

This guide will cover the basics of healing to the more advanced ways — level 70 only. It’s also primarily meant for

Paladins that raid. I’ll go into details about how to react in certain situations PVE-wise. Talent-specs and information

regarding most spells that a paladin has will be covered as well. Important to understand is that this guide covers how I

play a paladin and it’s purely PVE. I don’t offer five-to-ten different ways to play a Paladin, but instead I show you how

Holy DPS Paladin (Shockadin)

Shockadin eh? Alright…whelp, see ya later!

I have taken the time to make up an over view of the Paladin as a Holy DPS Hybrid, otherwise known as a Shockadin. I have seen a few attempts at making a viable “guide” which were lacking in one area or another.

I do not delve into Theorycraft or Mathematics. I speak only through experience, good and bad. I have taught myself the only way to know for sure is to test it out yourself. If you are looking for equations and exact numbers you are reading the wrong thread.

However, if there is someone who is willing to bring forth the proper numbers with a logical explanation behind them feel free to reply and I will see that it is added to the content I have posted.

I opted to explain the role of a Shockadin as an experienced player who enjoys the utility and power a Shockadin can throw out. This is, as with everything WoW, a Work in Progress, please feel free to comment after reading through the entire outline.

Shockadin 101 – Gear

Gear and Itemization: Stats to look for, and a basic rundown of easily obtainable, Shockadin oriented gear. With a list of how to enhance it with Gems and Enchants.

Shockadin 101 – Playstyle

Playstyle: Explains the basics of a Shockadin’s role in PVP, the control of the Global Cool-down, and the issues of using Avenging Wraith and Divine Shield.

Shockadin 101 – Questions and Comments

Common Questions and Concerns: Frequently asked questions as seen on the Paladin forums. I’ve tried my best to answer these questions without a bias opinion.

Shockadin 101 – Talents

A general Shockadin build is set up as 40/0/21. This will get you all the damage/healing increasing effects you will need to burst opponents and assist your allies.

Here are the basics of a general Spell Damage build. You can’t do it right, without the right build.

Shockadin Gear

[Edited to add: Please note: I have not updated this list post patch 2.3. With 1/3 of my +healing returned as +spell it’s actually better for me to just DPS in my healing set.]
