AboutFacebookWOW FOREVER · PLAYER REFERENCE
Paladins combine melee attacks, seals and group support. Holy specializes in healing, Protection tanks with Holy threat and a shield, and Retribution uses a two-handed weapon and timed seal interactions.
Holy heals with direct casts, Holy Shock and planned party-healing windows. Infusion of Light changes the casting rhythm, while Light’s Vigil gives the spec a dedicated group-healing tool.
Protection uses a shield, Holy damage and Righteous Fury to tank. Seal of Fury and Swift Judgement improve control, while Holy Shield and Templar’s Bulwark support survival.
Retribution is a two-handed melee damage spec with Holy attacks and seal timing. Twist of Light rewards alternating seals, while Champion of the Light connects the spec’s physical and magical damage.
During dungeon pulls, keep the tank alive first, then heal other party members as needed. Avoid repeatedly casting large heals on players who have only lost a small amount of health.
Flash of Light
Holy Light
Holy ShockHoly is strongest when you have allies to heal. For solo questing, keep a separate damage weapon and use Holy Strike and Judgement instead of wearing only healing gear for every enemy.
Seal of Fury makes Judgement a taunt. If the wrong Seal is active, pressing the same key will not provide the tanking response you expected.
Righteous Fury
Seal of Fury
Holy ShieldProtection works well when a pull can be gathered safely and your healer or own Mana supply can sustain it. Begin with two manageable enemies before attempting larger packs.
A slow, hard-hitting two-handed weapon suits the melee plan. Holy Strike uses weapon damage, so replacing a weak weapon can matter more than a small secondary-stat increase.
Seal of Command
Seal of the CrusaderHoly StrikeBegin with Seal of Righteousness, Holy Strike and Judgement. Use a two-handed weapon for melee damage and heal between fights rather than repeatedly casting expensive heals under attack.
Before Holy Shock is available, plan movement around Flash of Light and Holy Light casts. Stop briefly in a safe position, heal, then move; jumping repeatedly does not solve a falling tank health bar.
Leveling routes and preparationCarry drink, healing and mana recovery supplies. A healer needs enough water for the whole run; a tank should refill before the group pulls again. Use stat food or elixirs that support your chosen role rather than consuming every available buff.
