Paladin PvE guide This is a Paladin PvE guide article . General tips . Some of the following notes assume that the paladin is serving a specific role - - healing , tanking or dpsing ( presented by the Holy , Protection or Retribution labels respectively at the beginning of each paragraph ) . Others are relevant to all paladins . Death Knight . " All " : Death Knights are much like yourself , a melee class that can either tank or deal damage , depending on gear ( and spec ) . " All " : For dps death knights Blessing of Might . For death knight tanks , Blessing of Kings is a very good health boost . After that , Blessing of Sanctuary if you have it . " All " : If you enjoy blessing passersby , use Kings or Might . Rogue . " All " : A combination of a well - timed Vanish and Blessing of Might . " Holy " : Be sure to heal your buddy from any AoE damage . Judgment of Light is a rogue ' s best friend , as they will pull lots and lots of free health out of it . " All " : If you enjoy blessing passersby , use Kings or Might . Warrior . " All " : For dps warriors might not be the best choice since is stronger than the untalented version of Blessing of Might . For warrior tanks , is a very good health boost . After that , if you have it . " Protection " : One of the classes that ' s as qualified to tank as you are ( the other being a feral Druid ) . " Holy " : works almost as well here as it does for Rogues . " All " : If you enjoy blessing passersby , use Kings or Might . Priest . " All " : For dps priests . For priest healers , Blessing of Wisdom and Blessing of Kings helps their mana regeneration as well as give them a bigger mana pool . " All " : If you notice that a fight is getting out of hand and a wipe is imminent , use you on the Priest to allow quick recovery from the wipe . Yes , you ' ll be sacrificed , but the Priest is placed out of combat , and will be able to resurrect the group . Furthermore , you don ' t take durability damage from Divine Intervention . " Protection " or " Retribution " : If you ' re in the back of the raid with a priest and a mob suddenly starts hammering him , try to draw aggro away with . " All " : Priests are aggro magnets , and are very squishy , yet they ' ll still be important source of DPS / healing . To counter this , you ' ll want to keep up and do as much holy damage as you can . Counting on healing aggro to keep the mobs off the priest is not viable as a paladin , since the reduced threat on paladin heals means you ' ll have to heal 4 times as much damage as the priest is doing just to match their aggro . Don ' t forget that you can use your Righteous Defense skill to taunt up to 3 mobs off of someone . will upgrade their fragile bodies to be able to withstand a small hit or two . " All " : If you enjoy blessing passersby , use Blessing of Wisdom . Mage . " All " : Blessing of Wisdom . Expect some water in return . If the mage is arcane they will benefit more from Blessing of Kings ( if you have it ) due to intellect converted into spell dmg in this spec . " Protection " : Mages love paladin tanks because they know they would be safe when AOEing ! " Protection " or " Retribution " : Be careful when using consecration , not to break a polymorph with it . " All " : A mage is a glass cannon , and the most fragile thing imaginable . Make sure that the mage withholds his / her mighty instant - casts to the end of the fight , or you may watch mobs sprint off to eat something squishier . As stated above , get water from them but be polite when you ask . Judgement of The Crusader stacked with Seal of Righteousness gives you the highest DPS with increased threat ( feel free to substitute Seal of Command for Righteousness if you have it , Retribution Paladins ) . Righteous Fury goes without saying . " All " : If you enjoy blessing passersby , use Blessing of Wisdom . Druid . " All " : For Balance druids Blessing of Wisdom . For druid tanks , Blessing of Kings is a very good health boost . For druid healers , Blessing of Wisdom and Blessing of Kings helps their mana regeneration as well as give them a bigger mana pool . " All " : As two hybrids , you ' ll have a large amount of flexibility partnering with a druid in a " two - man team " . Both of you can heal , tank , or dps , so work out your roles based on your strengths from talents and gear . Your judgement should reflect the druid ' s choice of forms : Light for feral forms , Wisdom for casters . Blessing of Kings ( if you have it ) is the best blessing for a Druid , due to the increase to all attributes aiding in all their forms . Any other blessing is too form specific , and doesn ' t sync up with the druid ' s massive bag of tricks . To their end , Faerie Fire is a must . " All " : If you enjoy blessing passersby , use Kings ( if you have it ) , followed by Might for any Druid under 70 , since they are most likely feral speced . Shaman . " All " : For Enhancement shamans Blessing of Might . For Elemental shamans Blessing of Wisdom . For shaman healers , Blessing of Wisdom and Blessing of Kings helps their mana regeneration as well as give them a bigger mana pool . " All " : Their totems will stack with your blessings / auras , though not of the same type ( e . g . Fire Resistance Aura / Totem will not stack ) . " All " : " Two - man team " : Judge the target appropriately . Enhancement shamans like Judgement of Light , Elemental shamans like Judgement of Wisdom . As for blessings , Enhancement shamans like Might , Elemental shamans like Wisdom and Restoration shamans almost always Wisdom . The Paladin should be tanking as well as possible , where the Shaman is DPSing . The paladin should also do the healing if possible for more aggro . " All " : If you enjoy blessing passersby , use Kings ( if you have it ) , or Wisdom . Hunter . " All " : Bless the hunter with Might for DPS , or Wisdom for mana regeneration , depending on what they prefer . Give their pet might . The hunters ' Feign Death gets rid of all the threat on them and can be used every 30 seconds . " Protection " : Paladin tanks ' ranged pull ( Avenger ' s Shield ) is clumsy , so hunters are your best friends besides healers ! Don ' t hesitate to ask them to Misdirection pull the mobs for you whenever you feel it is needed . Misdirection during the mid of long boss fights can also help improve your threat level . " Protection " : If you ' re tanking , you might or might not want crowd control , so let the hunter know in advance . Also , tell him where you ' re going to cast Consecration , and tell him to set his trap away from you so that Consecration doesn ' t break it . " All " : " Two - man team " : Devotion Aura ' s your strongest here . If encountering casting mobs , let the pet tank and put up the most applicable aura . " All " : If you enjoy blessing passersby , use Might , Kings ( if you have it ) , or Wisdom . Bless their pet with Might . Paladin . " All " : For Retribution paladins Blessing of Might or Blessing of Kings are the preferred blessings . For Protection paladin tanks , Blessing of Kings is a very good health boost , followed by Blessing of Sanctuary . For Holy paladin healers , Blessing of Wisdom and Blessing of Kings helps their mana regeneration as well as give them a bigger mana pool . " All " : In raid , always coordinate with other paladins for blessings and auras each of you will use . " All " : " Two - man team " : Paladin + Paladin is the most survivable pair alive . One of you should be the main tank , depending on where your talents are located . The main tanking Paladin goes with shield + weapon , where the other goes with the biggest , nastiest two handed weapon they have . Light and Wisdom judgements add to your survivability , as you both will receive constant infusions of health and mana . The non - tank Paladin should heal the tank as necessary . Devotion Aura + Concentration Aura is a good combo , but feel free to switch to resistance for casters , retribution for increased damage , or sanctity for more damage . Pick your Blessings however you want , as there are few bad choices . " All " : If you enjoy blessing passersby , first look at what blessing the Paladin already has up and bless accordingly . If the Paladin does not have Kings , use that . If the Paladin has Wisdom up , use Might , and vice versa . Warlock . " All " : For warlocks Blessing of Kings . Wisdom is very nice for low level locks , but at high levels it does not do as much ( warlocks have very low regen , and have to life tap anyway ) . The pet blessing will depend on the warlock ' s spec and pet : " Protection " : ask the raid leader to put a warlock in your group , and ask him to use imp . The imp ' s stamina bonus is huge ! Note that sometimes warlocks maybe reluctant to use the imp and give up the benefit from the talent . If you are very confident with your health then it is fine . Otherwise , you should discuss with the warlocks before starting the instances . " All " : " Two - man team " : Bless with Wisdom , and your aura of choice is Devotion . Seduce could be used , but it ' s usually better just to let the succubus lay into things for DPS . Judgement of choice on your target is Wisdom , because the mana regen lets you tank better , and keeps him casting without the need for Life Tap . " All " : If you enjoy blessing passersby , use Wisdom on the ( low level ) warlock as well as their pet . Warlock pets often need mana more than they need Attack Power . The only exception is the Felguard . Felguards are served well by Kings ( if you have it ) . High level warlocks often appreciate a Kings over Wisdom - - higher level warlocks feed their pet mana from talents if they are serious about the pet . Another exception is the imp - it cannot be blessed if it has activated . Ask the warlock to deactivate it for a second to get the buff .
