In the WoW class guide for Paladins, we take a look at healing tin cans, vengeful plate popes, and tanks dedicated to protection. Whether it’s skill, glyph choice, or playstyle, here’s how to get started in WoW: Cataclysm raiding.
The developers of WoW: Cataclysm are currently in a true hotfix and patch frenzy. Since the release of our first class guides for the current expansion, talents have been changed, attacks have been weakened or strengthened, and play styles have been completely reworked or given new, exciting nuances. Just recently, WoW Patch 4.1. provided WoW fans with changes and only a few days later, there were already the patch notes for the next content expansion WoW Patch 4.2. Infected by this mania for change, we took the opportunity to improve the structure of our class guides. Our goal: The important information should be understandable for you at first glance. No player should get lost in too large text blocks. What do you think of the structure of the current Paladin guide? Are you missing important information? Are there any further improvements? We look forward to a lively exchange in the comments!
The Paladin – Holy All-Purpose Weapon in the Service of Horde and Alliance.
Before we get into the tactics and tricks that are essential for raid disciples, let’s give a beginner a brief overview of the Paladin class and the unique mechanics that make up the holy warrior.
Holy Power
Since patch 4.0.1, Holy Might has been added to the Paladin’s playstyle. Using some attacks and spells, you can build up to three charges of the new resource and then convert them into damaging attacks, instant healing, or an increase in your Holy damage.

Auras are permanent buffs unique to the paladin that can be quickly adjusted to the situation at hand. If party or raid members are within 40 yards, they also benefit from the aura.

Heart of the Crusader
Blessings, on the other hand, are buff spells that last for 60 minutes. Cast them on yourself and your party members to benefit from the effect.

Blessing of Kings
Blessing of Power
Signets and Judgment
Signets complement the paladin’s buff portfolio. What is special about the sigils: Each sigil has two effects. The first one lasts as long as the sigil is active on the paladin – the duration of the sigils is 30 minutes. Now, when you cast a judgment on your opponent, the second effect is triggered in addition to the effect of the judgment.

Hand spells
Another support mechanic paladins find in their hand spells, which only work for a very short time. Therefore, depending on the situation, they must be cast at the right moment to have their full effect.
