Most believe leveling a paladin is best done through retribution tree. Paladin takes most talents from protection tree generally geared toward tanking. What less generally known is that paladin can level equally well (or better ) in protection tree. I have written articles about AOE grinding builds on two separate occasions. What I intend to do here is condense some of the information from the these previous articles here.
Paladin AOE grinding build, what is it for?
Paladin is a great class that can level by simply killing many mobs at the time. It is a plate wear class with ability to self heal. A properly equipped and talented paladin can face 6-8 mobs at the same time and end the fight with little or no loss to mana and health. This build is used foremost for Paladin leveling. By picking the correct Paladin leveling area you can earn huge amount of xp in very short amount of time. This is great for farming material or doing quests. Also, since the build is designed to fight multiple mobs at the same time it is awesomely potent for farming lower level instances. With this build and some heirloom gears I have been able to solo some instances that is fairly close to my level (i.e. I soloed the lower SM instances at level 40).
This build is best picked up around level 30. To grind efficiently you will need a shield, a fast single hand weapon, a good shield spike and a mount. Although these are not the minimal requirements above listed criteria will insure a more pleasurable experience.
Paladin Talents
Talent selections are always subjective and always open to debate. WOWWiki has some excellent pointers for a minimalist AOE build. Don’t take what I put here as gospel. Design your build around your style of play. I have tried a few different builds and this one thus far have worked best for me. I have broken the talents into three categories: must haves, nice to haves, questionable value but a good space filler. Of course anything I didn’t take is something I didn’t consider required.
