A HELPING HAND

In our tips and tricks segment, we feature the second in our class series. In this week’s episode, we focus on another very popular class: Paladins! Special guest Chad brings his three-years of Paladin-playing experience to the discussion table!

  • In our discussion, we cover:
  • Auras and Blessings (and which ones to use while leveling)
  • Seals and Judgments
  • Paladin talent specs, including an overall discussion of the differences between Retribution, Protection and Holy and which one we recommend for new players
  • Paladin Spell Rotations
  • Recommend Paladin Glyphs
  • And much, much more!

For a great list of some Paladin basics, we recommend you check this link. Though some of the information is out-of-date, there’s some VERY helpful rundowns of Paladin spells, rotations and abilities.

THE RAZOR’S EDGE

Both Mick and Chad bring great suggestions for addons for the Paladin player:

  • Smartbuff: An easy way to manage your blessings and seals
  • Healbot: One of the best mods to use for healing in a party
  • Decursive: Great mod to manage the cleansing of curses on party members
  • Mik Scrolling Battle Text: A replacement to the scrolling damage/healing numbers. If you like customizing your interface, you’ll love Mik!
