In this article I will cover use and configuration of addons for an improved efficiency of your play in 40 men instances. I won't cover tactics about bosses because they can differ from guild to guild. For tactics just listen to your paladin class leader (if you have one in your guild) or at experienced players, they know what to do.Basically paladins duties are these: (not in order of importance

It will explain the criteria how the mobs choose their target, how to draw their attention if you want to be that target and how to avoid to be that target.What is "aggro"?Aggro stands for mob aggressivity. In other words a player "has aggro" when a mob is focused on attacking the player. The mobs never attack players randomly but base their target

This guide is pretty technical and contains a lot of formulas about game mechanics. Nevertheless it can be useful even if you are new to the class because explain some pratical tactics and routine good to know for every paladin. As the infamous slide at blizzcon stated we’re meant to be the “easy class”, this is due to our high survivablity. Thanks to this peculiarity the paladin class forgive a

Paladin roleThe Paladin is a hybrid character. It’s a mixup of a melee fighter, a healer and a caster with short range holy spells (aka judgements) it also get to use some other magical abilities. In addition to their respectable tanking skills, Paladins are welcomed in groups also for their ability to heal, remove debuffing effects and resurrect people. If your main healer gets in trouble, it's

As you advance through levels your stats will increase automatically. But you can also raise stats with equipment. Unfortunately unlike most classes we need to raise all the stats. Obviously some choices have to be made according to your playstyle. Let’s see how the stats influences your character.(note that all the formulas reported are intended for paladin class and do not works on other

Our class combat system is based mainly on four elements: aura, blessings, seals and judgements. Combining efficiently these elements a paladin can face efficiently quite every situation.Auras affect all the group member within 30 yds from the paladin, costs no mana and the effect is permanent (till the paladin dies). Multiple paladins can use different Auras within a group. If multiple paladins

Devotion auraGives additional armor to party members (735 at rank 7; 20% more with 5 points in improved devotion aura talent). The % of mitigation generated from devotion aura (see armor stat) is very small on a plate wearer like our class, may vary from ~4% if you wield a 2 hand weapon to a mere ~2% if you are equipped with a shield. This aura can be pretty useful for caster equipped with cloth

Cleanse and PurifyThese 2 abilities are one of the main paladin assets. Mana cost is 120 for both. Purify is obtained at low level (8) and can remove one disease effect and one poison effect from a friendly target. Cleanse can remove one disease effect, one poison effect and one magic effect. It’s effective both in pvp and pve, removing effects to a lot of other classes abilities. Note that it

The health pool represents your life. When your health pool is zero you're dead. These are obvious concepts. But how to keep your health pool up? There are essentially 2 ways: increase it and prevent it from be wiped.You can also replenish your health pool with healing spells and regeneration (see Mana pool & healing and Regeneration in combat sections). Remember for now that regeneration from
