Important Changes to Leveling a Paladin in the Shadowlands Pre-Patch

There is a new tab on your spellbook between General and your talent specialization, simply titled "Paladin". These are abilities that are now shared by all Paladins, regardless of what specialization they are in.

New Paladins will not begin in a default spec (Retribution). Until they are allowed to choose a spec at level 10, their abilities are drawn from the general Paladin abilities available to all specializations.

Experienced Paladins will notice some talents have been reworked or rearranged, and may require re-acquiring some talents.

Holy Power has returned as a secondary resource for Holy Paladins!

Best Paladin Leveling Spec in ShadowlandsEscudo de vengadorSentenciaCuchilla de justiciaVeredicto del templarioGolpe de cruzadoChoque SagradoChoosing a Paladin Specialization

Holy: Use Golpe de cruzado and Sentencia as you main damage abilities, with Choque Sagrado being able to be used to either damage or heal. Destello de Luz is your main healing spell. At higher levels you will learn more healing spells, like Luz del mártir to instantly heal someone in exchange for your own health, Luz del alba to heal many allies at once, and Señal de la Luz to have all your heals copied onto a selected target.

Protection: Use Golpe de cruzado and Sentencia to deal damage, with Escudo de vengador serving to attack multiple targets. At higher levels you will learn many spells to damage multiple enemies at once, like Martillo del honrado, which deals damage to multiple targets if standing in your Consagración, as well as defensive tank abilities like Defensor candente, which can save you from dying!

Retribution: Use Golpe de cruzado and Sentencia to deal damage and generate Holy Power, and use it on abilities such as Veredicto del templario or Tormenta divina. At higher levels, you will learn powerful abilities like Cuchilla de justicia to generate more Holy Power and Despertar de las cenizas, a powerful ability that deals heavy AOE damage and stuns Undead and Demon targets.

Best Paladin Leveling Talents in ShadowlandsSuggested Holy Paladin Leveling Talents in Shadowlands

Level 15 Talents:
Poder del cruzado is a strong talent that grants you more Choque Sagrados to heal or damage with whenever you decide to damage targets. Very simple and a must pick.

Ofrecimiento de fe is not a bad talent, but it has strictly defensive usage and considering it only heals after a few seconds, you might accidentally heal the target during the duration and simply waste the ability use.

Martillo de la Luz is not a bad talent pick, granting you some AOE damage and healing for a few seconds.

Level 25 Talents:

Prisma Sagrado is a strong talent that both heals allies and damages enemies no matter who you target with it, and definitely a good addition to your kit!

Salvado por la Luz has limited usefulness, as you will never see any benefits from this talent if your Señal de la Luz target never drops below 30% health, and even then, it is a weak absorption shield at best.

Sentencia de Luz is by far the weakest talent of this tier - The healing it does is very weak, and the more melee you have with you, the quicker the healing from this talent is depleted. Avoid at all costs.

Level 30 Talents:

Puño de Justicia is a very strong talent option that will significantly decrease the cooldown on Martillo de Justicia, as Sentencia is used very often in your rotation.

Arrepentimiento is not a bad option, but any damage will break the CC from Repentance.

Luz cegadora is also not a terrible option, but suffers from the same limitations as Repentance, as any non-Holy damage will break the CCs.

Level 35 Talents:

Hidalgo is a simple and effective talent that grants you a second charge of Corcel divino, and very effective for movement while leveling.

Espíritu inquebrantable is not a great talent for leveling, as if you do not use Defensor candente or Imposición de manos often, this will be a waste of a talent slot.

Imperio de la ley is a pretty weak talent option, as the range is only really useful for Luz del alba healing. Almost none of your heals have that short of a range, and you will usually be pretty close to your main healing target (the tank) anyway, so the Mastery range increase is also pretty moot.

Level 40 Talents:

is a strong cooldown that will increase the effectiveness of your heals and damage, and not that bad to use, as you have very limited Holy Power usage as a Holy Paladin.

Vengador sagrado can also be a good choice for dungeons as a Holy Paladin, as this will allow to more efficiently heal your entire group at once with Luz del alba.

Propósito divino is pretty weak for Holy Paladins, as you will usually not be using Holy Power abilities enough to gain the bonus granted with this ability.

Level 45 Talents:

Cólera santificada is an incredibly strong talent option that grants you increased duration on Cólera vengativa and reduced cooldown on Choque Sagrado while under Avenging Wrath.

Cruzado vengador seems like an interesting damage cooldown on paper for Holy Paladins, but as you lose the increased damage and healing from Choque Sagrado, the extra heals from your damaging abilities will not add much more to your healing than Avenging Wrath.

Castigo Abisal is a weak talent that requires you to use your Holy Power abilities to gain any benefit from. You will likely not use Palabra de gloria or Luz del alba often enough to gain the free Cólera vengativa from this talent at a reasonable rate.

Level 50 Talents:

Resplandor de Luz is an incredibly strong talent that multiplies your Choque Sagrado damage and healing, and lasts for long enough for you to be able to easily keep it up on multiple targets. A must pick!

Señal de la Fe is not that interesting of an effect, as you should not have two targets taking so much damage to the point where two beacons are needed at them.

Señal de virtud would be an interesting talent if Glimmer of Light didn't exist - It won't heal as many people often enough for it to be worth taking over Glimmer.

Suggested Protection Paladin Leveling Talents in Shadowlands

Level 15 Talents:
Martillo bendito is the strongest talent in this tier, as it not only is a permanent AOE damage in exchange for Martillo del honrado, it decreases damage dealt to you.

Escudo Sagrado is not a bad talent choice if you plan on doing dungeons, but does not do as much damage as Blessed Hammer for solo leveling.

Baluarte is a passive stat increase, and not a particularly strong one.

Level 25 Talents:

Primer vengador is a really strong talent option that not only grants extra damage in AOE for your Escudo de vengador, but you also gain an absorption shield every time you use it.

Sentencia del cruzado is an interesting single-target option that grants you extra Sentencia damage in the long run, but doesn't grant as much of a defensive benefit as First Avenger.

Momento de gloria is not that much of a good option as the cooldown is very long for a marginal benefit at best.

Level 30 Talents:

Puño de Justicia is a very strong talent option that will significantly decrease the cooldown on Martillo de Justicia, as Sentencia is used very often in your rotation.

Arrepentimiento is not a bad option, but any damage will break the CC from Repentance.

Luz cegadora is also not a terrible option, but suffers from the same limitations as Repentance, as any non-Holy damage will break the CCs.

Level 35 Talents:

Hidalgo is a simple and effective talent that grants you a second charge of Corcel divino, and very effective for movement while leveling.

Espíritu inquebrantable is not a great talent for leveling, as if you do not use Defensor candente or Imposición de manos often, this will be a waste of a talent slot.

Bendición de hechizos conjurados is a pretty weak talent option, as spell immunity likely won't be much help during leveling - Protection Paladins already have many ways to stop spellcasting from happening, to the point where Spellwarding would never be used.

Level 40 Talents:

Propósito divino is a strong defensive talent option that will help you gain more healing from Palabra de gloria or damage from Escudo del honrado.

Vengador sagrado is not a good talent for Protection, as you don't gain that much benefit from using Palabra de gloria and Escudo del honrado super often.

is not a bad talent choice, but can be a bit difficult to use with its Holy Power cost.

Level 45 Talents:

Terreno consagrado is a great talent option that increases the size and grants more versatility to your Consagración with the built-in speed decrease.

Mano del protector is not a bad defensive talent option, but with how easy it is to get enough Holy Power to use , you will likely not need the extra healing that often.

Sentencia de Luz is a very weak talent option that grants you negligible healing in the long run.

Level 50 Talents:

Cólera santificada is a great talent option that increases your burst window by giving you a bigger duration on Cólera vengativa.

Protector honrado is a weak talent option simply because you likely won't be spending that much Holy Power to grant you a significant cooldown decrease on either Cólera vengativa or Guardián de los antiguos reyes.

Batalla final is very useless while leveling unless you're doing dungeons, as during normal leveling, nobody else will be hitting your mobs but you, making a potential AOE taunt on Escudo divino useless.

Suggested Retribution Paladin Leveling Talents in Shadowlands

Level 15 Talents:
Celo is a very strong talent that provides you with extra damage by simply using Sentencia, which will be used on cooldown regardless of this talent.

Sentencia justiciera can be a bit hard to benefit from, as mobs will likely die too fast for you to be able to benefit from the damage increase on Veredicto del templario.

Sentencia de ejecución is a weak talent during leveling, as again, mobs are likely to die too fast and even before Execution Sentence lands.

Level 25 Talents:

Espada de cólera is a strong talent that early on, works as a passive damage increase for Cuchilla de justicia, and gains an added benefit once you learn El arte de la guerra.

Fuegos de justicia is not that strong of a talent, as Golpe de cruzado already has a low cooldown to begin with, although the Holy Power reduction can be nice.

Poder empíreo is not that bad of a talent if you're looking for slightly more AOE damage, as the free Tormenta divina you can proc with this talent has added damage.

Level 30 Talents:

Puño de Justicia is a very strong talent option that will significantly decrease the cooldown on Martillo de Justicia, as Sentencia is used very often in your rotation.

Arrepentimiento is not a bad option, but any damage will break the CC from Repentance.

Luz cegadora is also not a terrible option, but suffers from the same limitations as Repentance, as any non-Holy damage will break the CCs.

Level 35 Talents:

Hidalgo is a simple and effective talent that grants you a second charge of Corcel divino, and very effective for movement while leveling.

Espíritu inquebrantable is not a great talent for leveling, as if you do not use Escudo de venganza or Imposición de manos often, this will be a waste of a talent slot.

Ojo por ojo is a pretty weak talent option, as you won't get much damage reduction and also reflect little damage to enemies while it is active.

Level 40 Talents:

Propósito divino is a strong talent option that significantly increases the power of your Holy Power offensive abilities like Veredicto del templario and Tormenta divina.

Vengador sagrado is not that interesting of a talent choice for Retribution Paladins, as this talent makes it easy for you to overcap on Holy Power and miss potential extra Veredicto del templario and Tormenta divina.

is a pretty bad talent for Retribution Paladins, simply because of the Holy Power requirement to use - You are missing a potential burst for a marginal increase at best.

Level 45 Talents:

Manos sanadoras is a very strong talent option that increases the effectiveness of Palabra de gloria and reduces the cooldown on Imposición de manos based on missing health when either abilities are used. As those abilities are only to be used in emergency situations, this talent sinergizes well with their utility.

Sanación desinteresada is also a good talent that benefits you in emergency situations, but loses effectiveness if you aren't using Destello de Luz often, and in emergency situations you will likely be using Palabra de gloria or Imposición de manos instead.

Venganza de Justicar is a weak talent because of its Holy Power cost and low base damage, unless you're using it against a stun target. However, if you stun a target, you are better casting a couple Destello de Luz and healing for more instead of losing all your Holy Power for a measle self-heal.

Level 50 Talents:

Juicio final is an incredibly strong cooldown that not only deals heavy damage and increase the power of your Holy Power abilities, it even grants you a weaker version of it while not used. Definitely a must-pick for leveling!

Cólera santificada is not a bad talent to take, but not as strong as Final Reckoning, as you must have Cólera vengativa active to receive any benefits from it.

Cólera vengativa is an iffy talent to take at best, as you need to build up stacks for the talent to be stronger than it's counterpart Cólera vengativa. If you don't plan your Holy Power usage before using Crusade, you will likely not have a strong Crusade buff for long.

Protection or Holy are the specs to go with for dungeon leveling. Dungeon queues are perpetually short of tanks and healers, so you'll find yourself getting a group nearly instantly, instead of having to wait 15 minutes (or longer) for a group as a DPS class.

As a tank in a dungeon, your main job is to ensure mobs are hitting you and not your group, and because of this, you likely dictate the pace of the dungeon. Make sure you don't pull too much to not strain yourself and watch your healer's mana to ensure they don't strain themselves!

If you instead decide to heal a dungeon, your main job is to keep your group healthy. DPSing as a Healing Paladin is nice but you are not expected to do it, DPS while your entire group is safe and not taking heavy amounts of damage, but quickly heal them back up if the need arises.

Retribution Paladins an also be useful in a dungeon leveling setting, just be mindful that you will not be able to get into dungeons super fast due to being a DPS specialization. You will want to quest while waiting for dungeon queues to maximize your leveling time.

A great starter guide!

Comentario de Backaddict

Also remember the class mounts for Paladins (and Warlocks). That could confuse new folks.

Comentario de Xantrik

What mog is that in the static picture? Looks like a gold version of the CM armor.

Comentario de Translokator

Paladin is now extremly boring class for first 20 levels. There's nothing to do. Just Wait for Judge and Crusader Strike. Back in 2.4.3 it was good. You had auras, Seals judges, again seals. You had to know how to combine each Seals with Judges.

Comentario de Naahuc

Hey,
nice guide.

~~Just a little typo that has sneaked in... You wrote "Warlock" instead of "Paladin" in #players-choices.~~

Comentario de Cdaw

Holy paladin with correct PvP talents in war mode is quite easy to kill mobs too. Just heal yourself with holy light while dealing AoE damage.

Comentario de mageranger13

Great guide overall, I tend to go templar's verdict more over zeal but meh to each their own. In either case, I'm SOOOO glad ret doesn't revolve around Judgement anymore.

Comentario de cleric670

Why on Azeroth would you recommend Zeal, Crusade, and Justicar's Vengeance for leveling when Righteous Verdict, Word of Glory and Divine Purpose are almost infinitely better.

JV doesn't do enough damage or healing and is a colossal waste of 5 holy power, you can spend DP procs on free WoG that is a massive 75% heal while leveling. Otherwise spend those DP procs on Templars Verdict and couple it with Righteous Verdict for wrecking ball level damage.

Comentario de Zedahr

Although almost a year from the last comment, I'm now playing in a War Mode Retro Pally in 8.2, I have my first talent as Righteous Verdict rather than Zeal. This gives me greater Burst and Sustainable damage. You did not make it apparent in your talent choices for a Retro Pally if they were for PVP or PVE, unless I missed your designation along the way. Gr8 guide and thought process. Learned a lot from your explanations. Keep up your good work!

Comentario de Lanloriel

Righteous Fury has now been removed from the game with more passive threat given to Protection Paladins

Can anyone help? So recently my character hit level 42 and whenever I kill anything.. I’m hitting it at 50,000 hp for regular moves and I don’t know why... the quests are giving me super low xp as well ever since this started happening. It just started a day ago and it’s getting super annoying because I can’t level up anymore with all of the quests being so low in xp and the things I’m killing are level syncing.. they are all at 30 and I’m a 42

Returning WoW player here, and as of Patch 9.1.5, at least. Protection Paladins no longer have access to Crusader Strike.

Great guide. I didn't see weapon skills that a Paladin has?
