*`~ Best 19 Twink Paladin guide ~`*

[Valmilu]

Shall start out by saying, that this guide is aimed at people who want to roll a paladin as a first time twink, or have limited experience with groups of players who get more than just whats on the AH. If you have been twinking for a while most of this will be repeated information that is general knowledge, the rest of it, is how myself and others play our paladins. The primary intent of this thread is to answer the simple questions that flood my chat window when I play. This guide will hopefully illuminate the path to effectively playing a 19 paladin. There are few enough 19 paladins, and fewer still who know what they're doing. Read on.

1. Races.

Paladins are available as a class selection to 4 races in the game, the humans, the dwarves, the draeni, and the blood elves.

Humans- humans i have found to be the most widely twinked race for the paladin class. Their racials include perception to increase stealth detection, added spirit boost, an added 5 points to the skill cap improving overall DPS, and diplomacy for fast reputation gain. the last of these benefits has since become obsolete with the installment of the new honor system. The human versatility leaves way for excellent healadins and dps bots, though protection spec paladins thrive as an anti-rogue class with perception and redoubt.

Dwarves- Dwarves have a limited use as a paladin in the 19 bracket, as paladins cannot use guns, and only half of the stoneform racial makes a difference (due to the low mana cost or purify and its instant cast). Stoneform however does have its uses as it increases armor for a limited time which is helpful when being zerged flag carrying, it also provides a brief gap of time that purify is not needed to remove serpent sting spam from hunters, in effect, it will help you last longer for those few seconds that can make all the difference and will keep your casting bar free for a more important spell like BoF or a heal. Ideally, a dwarf would go protection spec to take full advantage of his abilities.

Draeni- For mother Russia, the draeni paladin rides forth. Draeni of any class are good to keep around for their group uff auras, on top of this they have gift of the naaru to keep people alive for a second to get the big heals off, or to give them that regenerative boost that can turn the tide in a combat situation. Draenei racials make them equally as efficient ay any spec they decide to play.

Blood Elf- Horde choice by default. Nifty racials for healing and damaging.

2. Specs
Paladins can be played in many different ways, depsite as it may seem, even at 19 spec and gear choice will entirely redefine the playing strat of your paladin. Note that i for the spec descriptions list the specs to be full in one tree, to elaborate on the utility of each tree. A section for hybrid specs included below.

Protection
The prot pally is the juggernaut of the 19 bracket, when fully geared and enchanted, it will top 2k in both armor and hp, and still put out decent damage, while its healing ability is minimal, tactical consumable use can keep you alive through almost anything. For a pure FC build, I would advise 5/5 devo aura, 2/2 guardians favor, and 3 in toughness. this build will give you a 16sec duration BoF, so you can only be slowed 4 seconds at a time, about 2200armor, and killer hp. My personal build is as above just with 5 points in redoubt instead of devo aura, im at 1971armor with devo aura, and find that redoubt and a fel-steel shieldspike will take out rogues faster than they like.

Holy
The healadin is ferocious in numbers, if theres 2 of them trading heals, just take the death. even on his own, he will be able to outheal what dps is getting through his thick armor, and be able to keep his teamates rolling through the heat. this is an excellent support player to have handy, and when theres more than one of them, it takes a lot to break them. for a full healing spec, its best to go 5 divine intellect to maximize mana pool, and 5 into spiritual focus to ignore 70% of incoming attacks to your casting time of healing spells.

DPS
In my opinion, the DPS pally is not much more than a big yellow numbers fun to play twink. It gets out dpsed by rogues and hunters, who serve much more utility in a BG than a dps pally will. Granted, a DPS paladin will get the job done, and is by no means a dumb idea for a twink, but when it comes to rolling the perfect 10 man its more effective to have a healadin in the midfield. Since they are a fun spec to play and relatively easy to gear to be effective, i will offer what i can. a dps pally will also go 10 holy, with 5 into divine str, and 5 into imp seal of righteousness, to get most possible burst dmg out of this class. These characters will get the job done well, can heal moderately, will swing a hard punch, and are survivable too.

Mix-Breeds
To be filled in later, mostly variants of DPS/healadin

3. Gear
How you chose to gear your paladin is about as defining as you spec him. Essential quests to complete for alliance are the seal of wrynn, the beetle clasps, and the glacial stone. To match this horde only quests include deadskull shield, the seal of sylvanas, steel-clasped bracers, and the Runic Darkblade. quests available to both factions are the arctic buckler, the talbar mantle, and the engineers cloak. I highly recommend collecting all of these to increase your versatility in a battleground, but only certain specs will use each item.

The FC pally
built for hp armor, and gross amounts of both. here is my profile for a completed FC paladin, it will take a while to build but once you get it there you will own. I advise libraming the green tinted goggles and enchanting the the silver-linked footguards until your fishing returns results.

Alliance FC profile: http://ctprofiles.net/3510392
Horde FC profile: http://ctprofiles.net/5175955

The DPS pally
Theres alot more variable slots on the DPS pally profile than the others you can go for a modest mana pool, strength builds, the experimental hastadin, or the stam build. DPS pallies use 2h weaps and get big crits. enchantments vary to taste. for the big crits char id enchant with crusader but for the overal dps/crit chance build 25agility is worth the investment too.

Alliance DPS: http://ctprofiles.net/5205297
Horde DPS: http://ctprofiles.net/5205274

The Healadin
The healadin embraces mostly mail gear of the eagle and cloth blues. Not too much variation between gear layout here, except choice of shield and MH weap, my ideal healadin would have razors edge and an arctic buckler for the extra spirit(alliance as well) although i do not play a healadin, so specific gear slots are mostly up to choice.

Horde Healadin: http://ctprofiles.net/5205401

The Jack of All Trades.
With the assistance of the Itemrack addon, its very easy to completely change your paladins role in a BG, using hyrid builds it is possible to have a paladin that is all round decent for everything, he will not out do any pure spec'd paladin, but he is still quite an asset to have as an elastic do it all man.

Example: multiple profiles of this same paladin is able to gear for all 3 jobs.
http://ctprofiles.net/5193610 Healer
http://ctprofiles.net/5197347 DPS
http://ctprofiles.net/5197424 FC
http://ctprofiles.net/5224871 Hastadin


On top of the gear suggestions made here, i highly recomend that every paladin gets a shadowfang and redbeards crest with a felsteel shield spike. the strength bonus on the shield makes it best for when you fight back. I also recomend the use of the lifestealing enchant, the extra healage you get from it as a must have, it outheals crusader, out does the hp gap made by a fiery proc, and on a prot pally where healing is limited, its essential.

Arena Grand Master
ive heard this described best by a DPS paladin in my guild when he said "this has become my new lay on hands" By far i would call this my most useful item on my character, and it serves well on any style of paladin. it is obtained by getting 12 arena masters from the chest in the gurubashi arena of stranglethorn Vale. the chest spawns every 3 hours 9-12-3-6 etc. often times people will show up just for the fun of pvp and will let your twink take it. you may not be as lucky and some people will grief you for being a twink trying for this, or you may have to fight off another twink and his friends that have come for it too. for the most part a descreet 5man group that shows in plain view a minute before the spawn, is a gauranteed chest loot.

4. Consumables.

Pots- They buff you up before you go, keep you alive when youre about to die, and let you speed off when in danger.

Bandages- as a paladin your mana is precious, whether its needed for healing teammates or keeping yourself off the ground, its worth it to save the mana for a more efficeint bubble-heal, and for keeping your friends alive too!

Engineering- Best array of consumables ever. you get watchdog explosive sheep, AoE burst damage, crowd control stun bombs that give you time to run on your rocket boots that are also engineered by higher level players, gives you trinkets that de-sheep your healer as well as boost his mana and hp by a good amount, gives you consumables from the inventory that allow you to absorb fiery scrub DPS for a minute, and also an inventory usable discombobulator ray that is great for chasing down FCs or chasers, especially with the paladins limited amount of ranged abilities (two) chasing down that out of reach guy is excellent, not to mention, it cant be too healthy for morale to turn target twink into a green gnome!

Scrolls-A paladins best friend. a purge/dispell happy player can really limit a paladin to nothing so it is important to refresh trash buffs faster than they can purge them, its helpful tohave a priest spam rank 1 fort on you between heals to keep you truckin as well. be weary, they dont stack with other buffs of the same stat, stack the spirit ones, and have a friend spamming strength on you.

Rum-2silver a pop for 15stam for 15min, old hillsbrad caverns of time instance, stack em.

Food- i save all my edible ferns for when im in a stalemate with another premade, but when i bust them out its nice to stack 14stam/spir with the 15stam rum quickly.

Sleeping powder- personally i find this to be the best anti-shaman, make sure you have good enough communication with your team to know not to touch the sleeper. also good for when youve been zerged low and have whittled the offensive force down to just 1 or 2 guys, can sleep one heal, dispatch him, or sleep the remaining one guy, bandage, and send him off to his respective graveyard. By far my favorite "I Win" button.

5. Professions

Engineering
Engineering is a must have for all 19s, as it provides a headslot to suffice until you catch a fishing hat. But that is just the start of it. as an engineer, you will have flame deflectors to repel the irritating dps of fiery scrubs for a good amount, a way to unsheep your buddies or fast heal yourself, boots to make the getaway on, various explosives that can be used for single target direct damage, AoE damage, and even crowd control. Its also useful to be able to make aquadynamic fish attractors to help getting your fishing hat.

Jewelcrafting
i do not have this profession due to the fact that my pallies account doesnt have TBC. but, as most players who twink do have the expansion, i will note that at 125 skill you can make a heal over time golem that acts like a shaman totem, stays put and has 1hp.

Alchemy
Potions are essential. if youre healing yourself, buffing up, off in a hurry somewhere, everyone can use it. on your paladin you will chew through alot of pots that would have otherwise left you in sticky situations, its is helpful if not essential to have your character able to make these on the go, or have an alt who can.

Cooking
Everyone loves a warsong campfire. this tradeskill has had its utility cut since the 14stamina buffing edible fern came out, but the sagefish recipes still help if the caster prefers a mana regen buff over direct stam. its always nice to be able to offer these things.

Fishing
2 pieces of your armor will eventually be obtained by this skill, pick it up, get it to 150 asap. it also helps to have a fun set of gear like a farmers costume that you dont care about to put +fishing enchants to. pick up a strong fishingpole in SW/org when you see one. The fishing tourney itself happens every sunday from 2-4pm server time, the boots and hats are rare fish with names that you can catch in schools of tastyfish, even after someone wins the competition, you may still fish for them. If you win the competition, you get a fun little fish form item.

First aid
get it to 225. heavy runecloth bandages win.

Moneymakers
If your a guest twink to another guild server, or just felt like starting up on a new server with no shiny main to help you farm gear, nothing will help you more than smart auctioneering, and through the gatherer tradeskills like mining skinning herbalism. also good for killing long Q times while making money.

6. WSG
Depending on how you spec and gear your paladin, your role in the gulch will vary.
Roles
Flag Carrier- Prot spec paladins llive to flag carry. it is not unacceptable to let someone die rather than heal them if your fast enough on the ninja right click spam. This is a very simple and easy job to do, and it amazes me that people actually ask for advice on this. The best i can offer, is purify poisons, BoF out of slows, and use appropriate consumables to keep the enenmy faction at bay. Bubbling with the flag- though it is mainly shunned as a noob mistake, you can in fact tactically bubble with a flag like rogues uses vanish in later brackets. the tricky bit is to remove the bubble before they return, do not try this when people are chasing you, you arent fast enough. however, when working with a team coordinated over vent or TS, it can be a real pain for the other team to have to deal with a pair of prot pallies. when they wear one down, he calls it to the other, bubbles and bandages, 2nd pally ninjas, and when he gets low he can bubble it back too. its a risk around fast clickers who are expecting a death when your paladin gets low on hp, if you bubble with a good chunk but still under half hp its usually a safe bet they wont be expecting it. it does not hurt to practice this in steamroll BGs with a friend. You can also bubble out of fear, sap, and a variety of other compromising situations which can be a lifesaver if you get feared out of range of your healer, bubble, click off pick flag back off, run free. Refer to consumable section for additional tactic.

Healer-Fairly self explanatory, i will leave this open for other paladins to fill in until i get more seasons under my belt with my own healadin

Midfield Control-Standard DPS position, dont let anything through, defend from the mid marker, form a membrane with other players, stun things going in or out. Or, heal those doing it.

7. Against other classes.

Druid- Druids get outplayed by paladins, there isnt much they can do that we cant counter, they can try and melee you at which you overpower them at, they can try to root you and heal but that results in a stunned druid and a BoFed pally, if they should get the distance on you needed to heal, or if you arent specced into guardians favor, you can heal yourself while they do. I have ranked them as my second easiest class to kill.

Hunter- As with all classes that depend on keeping you slowed to succeed, they have extreme difficulty killing you. however, a smart hunter will have your BoF timed so that the second it fades hes ready to wingclip and get range again. It is important to save your HoJ for when BoF is on CD, to reduce or prevent his range gained on you. full stam survival hunters will be able to stand up to your beating long enough to have a good amount of HP when your BoF fades. Just keep purifying serpent sting and stay up in their faces and the situation is favorable for you. Third easiest to kill.

Mage- Mages have the hardest times with paladins. they cant keep us still, and we're right up in their face interrupting their casts. BoF is the key ability to this fight, it becomes reflex when you get slowed. This is the easiest class for a paladin to take out.

Priest-When you pit yourself against a priest, you measure your effectiveness by how low his mana gets. paladins are at a disadvantage towards priests as we can only stop a spell being casted once a minute, the judgement of where to place your hammer is crucial. another thing to worry about is a dispell spammer, they will reduce you to an auto attack, drain your mana low on recasts, and if they get low fear and heal, it is important to keep your insignia/bubble ready for that last minute fear heal to finish off the job.

Rogue- when it comes to fighting a rogue, most of my damage is coming from my shieldspike or LS procs. since rogues hit fast prot pallies will have the easiest time killing them with redoubt and felsteel spike, they really dont like eating 38 damage everytime you block which is quite frequently. Dagger rogues, which are uncommon and subpar in effectiveness at 19 will not put a scratch in you. its the sword rogues who hit harder and faster than you that pose problems. I would say neither the rogue or the paladin have an advantage over eachother, as one can blow a cooldown the other can counter it effectively.

Shaman- a shaman is as effective against a paladin as a mage is effective against a paladin, if you dont scroll spam, they will diminish you to nothing but auto-attacking, kite you around, and heal themselves. if i run into a twinked shaman on defense in wsg i either stun and speed pot, or sleep powder him to get him off my back, i try to avoid direct conflict with them as much as possible. this makes it wise to stack scrolls so you can at least keep a BoF up and only have to deal with a few seal recasts.

Warlock- The paper to our rock. these are the most frustrating class for me to go up against. in the gulch i stun them when they try to fear and dont stay around for them to try recast. their tactic in a 1v1 is to keep just an inch ahead of you out of melee range, while sticking instant cast dots on you and having their imp dps you, if you stop to kill the imp, its a fear and a few shadowbolts and wand shots for you. you can bubble, and burst fear trinket after eating the first fear so then they have to wait some amount of time before being able to fear you again, but they are by far the most tedious class to go up against, especially when they have a good 1500hp to be chewed through. In the gulch, one well placed fear can be the end of you, since the 5 pugs/cheap fiery rogues will be DPSing you down while the lock has your arms pinned behind your back. so, tactical use of the insignia is mandatory, this is my primary reason for keeping insignia as a primary trinket and then macroing in a 2nd AGM or other trinket after its ben used.

Warrior- The only warrior to have killed me 1v1 had about 400more HP than me.(full fishing, boars speed, nethercleft) warriors are at a disadvantage at 19 and it is a wonder to me why anyone would chose to twink them, i rolled a warrior myself and got it a moderate amount of gear, but i found it could not out-do anything else. it got out HPed by druids, out DPSed by hunters and rogues, out FCed by druids and pallies, and wasnt as much of an advantage midfield control wise as a hunter or other DPS class would have been. Back to the point, a shield spike and a couple LS procs will put a warrior back in his place. In the gulch, they will always be advancing and receding on you charge after charge in an attempt to slow you. just toss them back a hammer of justoce when he comes close and let the midfield control take care of him.

8. UI.
Key bindings.
Macros.
UI mods.

9. Mods
Some people feel that addons "play the game for you" this is just in all cases flat out wrong, if anything some mods will require more attention as though they were another ability that you have, or others are just a UI tweak that make things alot more convenient. Make sure you preach to the ignorant the difference between "mods and hacks" I love the irony of people attacking me for it then asking for a dmagae meter report 10min later, priceless. You may object to them, or abstain, but you really are only depriving yourself of advantages that the top guy will have on you. The mods i have listed here will help you stay aware of whats going on in all parts of the battleground, whos coming for you, help you coordinate guild and social events with more ease, make your UI a litttle but more comfortable to taste, keep track of cooldown timers without having to mouse over them, and some of them are just fun to have around. Installing an addon is a simple process, it varies from mod to mod, but for the most part, download to a "my mods folder" that you create, extract files(some may require winrar which you can DL from link below) and then move the folder to C:>Program files>World of Warcraft > interface > addons. i know absolutely nothing about computers and i can install mods, so its not a tricky process.
PvP
BattleField Commander-An improved WSG battlemap that shows the class of blips on the map, what group theyre in, and turns their dot red when theyre in combat. this is helpful to a paladin to see where his healing is needed, and whether an area is safe to run through with the flag. link: http://wow-en.curse-gaming.com/files...eld-commander/

BGassist- greatly imrpoves the PvP UI. It adds the names of the flag carriers to the top of the screen where it displays which faction has whos flag, it adds a sidebar to the scoreboard that shows how many of each class both teams have for quick viewing of the enemy class balance/healer names, also has a target bank(no longer lets you select targets through it with 2.0) which is useful for classes who cant track, especially a flag carrying paladin wondering how hard that zergs gonna hit, he can plan his actions before they get there by already knowing their numbers and classes. link: http://wow-en.curse-gaming.com/files.../bgassist-2-0/

equip
ItemRack- Change between healing/dps/FC/alternate build sets with the click of a button. so much more efficient than wasting actionbar slots for gear, and equipping manually. I use this mod to macro in a shield spike after my stam shield has been worn through. sets can be keybound and are wonderful. http://wow-en.curse-gaming.com/files...1482/itemrack/

Outfitter- does the same thing as item rack, but will unequip gear in marked "empty slots" so if you have a tuxedo or farmer costume, you dont need to manually remove your belt shoulders tabard etc as you might with itemrack. i use it for fun sets. http://wow-en.curse-gaming.com/files...784/outfitter/


auction
Auctioneer- http://www.auctioneeraddon.com

UI. These mods are all just for making things more compact and pretty, entirely preference. i will post a screenshot of my UI for observation.
Perl Unit Frames- redoes your unit frames like party, player bar, target, etc. a matter of comfort because i like really tiny party player bars. http://wow-en.curse-gaming.com/files...c-unit-frames/

Bartender 3- does away with blizzards action bars. since i use titan panel listed below, i dont display my bags bar, or my mini-menu and other such clutter, i have action bars going from left screen to rigt screen in 2 rows. this mod lets you resize your bars, reorganize them into other shapes, and move them around anywhere on the screen. http://wow-en.curse-gaming.com/files...53/bartender3/

OmniCC-Cooldown counter, it displays in large numbers on top of the ability icon how many minute/seconds are left till it comes off cooldown. must have when juggling explosive, potion, class, engineering, and various trinket cooldowns. http://wow-en.curse-gaming.com/files...s/2775/omnicc/

Improved Error Frame- when you get a few mods going you need this, no more spamming error window that ****s with you, it just gets sent straight to a minimap button error bank, to see it when you want to.
http://wow-en.curse-gaming.com/files...vederrorframe/

Titan Panel-takes all the utility parts of the UI(gold, durability, inventory(all bags) group loot type, ammo count, and computer performance), and reduces them to a tiny icon each on a small bar on the bottom and top of your screen. keeps the UI very clean and tidy, and serves as a port for other addons tailored especially for this mod. The main advantage for most of these plugins is that you dont have to click on them, simply mouse over to see what you need. http://wow-en.curse-gaming.com/files...8/titan-panel/

10. Leveling up right.
Alliance:
1-10: local leveling quests and discovery
10-12: instance BoP collection, cobrahns grasp, gold plated buckler, kresh's back, blackened defias armor, seal of wrynn letter, talbar mantle jewel, get all of it you want done.
12: do the quest for the redemption ability, a bubble rez+LoH can turn the tides in many situations.
13-14: world discoery, walk from IF to menethil, from auberdine to the barrens, from there to STv, discover all coastal regions in STV for fishing and the gurubashi arena. then go back to westfall to start the chausses of westfall quest, which can still supplement as good pants until you get a better armor kit, or if youre speccing hastadin.
15:talbar mantle quest.
16: seal of wrynn quest
17: grind out remaining defias hunting quests till 18
18: off to ashenvale for the beetle clasps, arctic buckler, and glacial stone
19: PvP!

Horde:

follow similar template getting all discovery, class quests and BoPs done before 15, then do quests with as few runs as possible for the most output. it is my understanding for the runic darkblade/deadskull shield you need to get the quest at 19, and lie dead while mains gank the mobs you need to get credit for it.
I would love for a horde warrior or paladin to post a correct sequence of leveling/questing in place of my rather skeletal version.

11. Helpful links

www.battlegroundforums.com there are always helpful and wise people here who can answer any question you may have about any class, collectively, that forum group knows everything there is to know about 19s.

www.Curse-gaming.com the addon warehouse. every tuesday morning while the servers are being patched i kill that 30min between my shower and class with browsing for interesting mods that help.

www.thottbot.com any item, quest, enchant material list, engineering skill up list, or anything else you may need will be here on this database.

www.worldofwarcraft.com check your realm, and battlegroup forums here constantly, arrange matches with other teams ect. also frequent the paladin class forums to keep an eye out for anything interesting or additional tactics to utilize.

Thanks for taking the time to read my guide, I hope you learned at least a few new things to incorporate into your game play.

This is, of course, a copy/paste job, just like most of the guides in this forum. It's originally from the battleground forums (with a few updates). I'd rep ya if you would just cite your sources, since you brought this to all our attention, but you seem content to just copy and paste and let everyone assume they put all the hard work into it.
