been playing wow classic like a madman, so glad this game is back! great video, keep them coming!! :)

[@Milloh]

What server are ya on? :) and thank you!

[@PlebsGaming]

I believe 5 points into Benediction instead of Might is better for solo leveling. I don't remember where i read the math about it but in short, more mana means more heals means less downtime means more killing mobs means faster xp. Plus you will be going with Blessing of Wisdom most of the time just for the mana.

[@Milloh]

PlebsGaming right! The idea also goes that with might you do more damage which then the mob dies faster which means less damage and less healing! But honestly this is why I love classic! So many options! Thanks for the comment! Cheers!

[@Milloh]

Edward Biak it’s funny, so iv been leveling solo doing quests etc, and I almost exclusively use might and I rarely have mana problems, the only times I end up needing to drink is if I’m fighting mobs higher level than I or I pull more than 1 or I’m soloing elites, other than that, mana hasn’t been an issue. Plus if you are casting constantly you stop the rule of 5 leaving you to not regen any mana at all. Check out Esfands build too, he also goes BoM

[@edwardbiak8299]

@@Milloh Thank you for your reply. I will try out swapping to BoM and learn. Cheers friend

[@Milloh]

Edward Biak definitely! If you find it more useful going wisdom let me know! Just sharing what iv personally experienced! Good luck out there!

[@robertp457]

@@Milloh The increase in damage is negligible. 20% increase of blessing of might is only an additional 37 AP at the highest rank of Blessing of Might. It's only an 11 AP improvement at rank 1 of BoM. Improved Blessing of Might just isn't worth 5 talent points. If it was a 20% increase for one talent point it still wouldn't be worth it. A 15% decrease in mana costs for the most commonly cast spells are worth the 5 points. The synergy of less mana used and more mana returned makes a significant and noticeable difference.

[@godwings101]

A pro tip: pick up first aid. Theres nothing more satisfying than bubble bandaging while your mana regens to finish off whatever was giving you trouble.

[@trainingwithlukey3308]

@Vendrick Yezdan What?

[@Mixwell1983]

Dont think having 1st aid is a pro tip.. Everyone regardless of class has max rank 1st aid.. Never even really saw anyone in vanilla or any xpac without 1st aid.. 1st aid isnt even really an option, it is manditory and again never met anyone who didnt have 1st aid ever when playing.

[@parkythepancake2173]

Great video! I have been leveling a paladin and enjoy it - I do see conflicting information in this video from what I read/watch on a lot of guides. Not sure what is what anymore!

[@Milloh]

parky the pancake thank you! And I guess a lot of things can come down to preference, and I think that’s the nice thing about classic. I just do my best to share what I know, and I do my best to learn what others have to say! I try to be so hard stuck with whatever someone said in a video! I just hope what I say can maybe help you make your own choice!

[@godwings101]

Yeah. There is a lot of viable leveling builds for paladin that do work. For me I went for seal of command, then consecrate and then points towards precision. I do group and aoe pulls more often and ow at level 40 I have ravager so I'm able to cleave down easier. Although I definitely see the appeal of doing a prot AoE leveling build got level 40.

[@justanoob4425]

Consecration is a *must have* for prot tanking. Holds amazing threat, they will stick to you like rice

[@avargs3505]

Dwarves are the kings of strat.. Detect treasure is invaluable in knowing which crates to loot and which are phony.. Great way to reliably farm for holy water too!

[@Kabben13]

U can just mouseover them, everyone can see which is real

[@balzonyr4head]

5/5 improved BoM? Yeah stopped watching from there

[@AB-gj2gh]

same, please dont follow this guide

[@KC_604]

Oliver Hüter got a better 1 send me link pls I need it

[@joshuaroe1402]

You could pick talents randomly with paladin and still have almost the same leveling speed as the meta spec. People take a fifteen year old game, that was conquered fifteen years ago, way too seriously.

[@Xirmak]

LOL thought it was just me

[@Pharto_Stinkus]

Same.

[@justinTime077]

you use holy shield and light consecration in combo iwth seal of wisdom

[@cumfartchuglord]

What is that bar addon that you're using up top?

[@Veritas666]

Does kinda AoE Level really works with Prot around 40? I'm at 43 now and think about switching... as I still sometimes tank and Ret does not do the speediest solo stuff

[@matthewkeating6970]

Great vid

[@taylenday]

You forgot Humans most valuable Racial: Aesthetics.

[@Milloh]

Hey guys! If you think I missed anything please let me know! I love sharing what I know and learning new things at the same time! Top comments so far is shouldn’t you go benediction, instead of improved might? My thought here is that if you do more damage, things die faster, when things die faster that equals less healing / mana, not needing wisdom up as much! But I can definitely see both working! Another point I missed was for prot you should definitely pick up shield spec, thanks for the corrections!

[@ofueru2219]

Hello thx for the guide but just a question Why choose redoubt because you're without shield Thx for the answer

[@Milloh]

ofu eru Thank you! I usually pick up redoubt for anytime I may need to switch over to a shield, like if I have multiple people attacking me. I think the talent points are super strong even just for those moments! You can definitely place them elsewhere if you don’t want to bother with it! :)

[@oscarsodergren]

I would also go with spiritual focus instead of Divine intelect, you dont really have that much intelect when lvling and SF can really save lives.

[@prisonerofthehighway1059]

Paladins in Vanilla synergize with each other really well. If you have a ret pally with Sanctity Aura it’s a tremendous threat increase. Remember all your threat basically comes from holy damage only. Imp RF only buffs holy damage. As prot you should be running blessing of sanctuary on you and salvation on everyone else. Having another pally gives you wisdom as well.

[@toppernl8690]

Do u suggest to play with 2handed sword/mace or 1 handed with a shield?

[@Milloh]

TopperNL 2h for sure, 2h weapons take fewer hit % while 1h take more. Not only that but 2h typically will be dealing more damage. But if you are in a situation where you got a very nice 1h and your 2h is lacking then just roll with the 1h until you replace it!

[@andrewvanwormer4841]

2H mace. for ret pally your seals want slower weapons. righteous hits harder and crusader will increase weapon speed!

[@morriganrenfield8240]

@@andrewvanwormer4841 righteous doesn't change based on speed. A fast weapon is actually better for that seal. Command is great with a slow weapon though. You get about 7 procs per minute regardless of weapon speed so slow for it is the way to go

[@LvladenPvP]

Righteous actually does scale with weapon speed. Slowet weapons deal more damage even with righteous

[@shoc2177]

Anticipation is very bad for leveling, rather take imp shield spec, or more Toughness, also imp 1 handed is pretty useless, rather get Guardians favor, or some more useful stuff. Also you never choose Spiritual Focus as prot. it can decide a battle.

[@peeko_luxx2873]

How does spiritual focus make or break a battle? Not arguing, genuinely curious as to why that would be? Not too savvy with paladins and I thought maybe if I spec 2 into that and 3 into improved SoR, I could make up for the lost damage with throwing a seal of crusader up and judging first off with it to sort of give me that extra edge of damage I was missing. If I’m playing all wrong, please let me know! Haha cheers buddy, I know this comment is old as hell but hope you still have that insight ! 😂👍

[@shoc2177]

@@peeko_luxx2873 Improved SoR doesnt do a lot, since it only buffs the base dmg of SoR. Spiritual Focus will allow you to heal without pushback

[@peeko_luxx2873]

@@shoc2177 ahhhh so you are in favor of spiritual focus? I misinterpreted your comment! Haha yeah I figured I’d be wise to get that or at the least some points in it in case a pull goes wrong or if you are solo aoeing like I was planning! Cheers buddy! Appreciate the response! 👍

[@bjarnigujonsson4914]

[@HL_Eminence]

You should always go 5/5 benediction and always have wisdom up. Using BoM is inefficient and will slow you down. Don't put your points in there.

[@Milloh]

Eminence iv always gone back and forth with that, the idea being might gives more damage which then kills things faster, which equals less healing req. but honestly Iv tried both and they seem fairly similar! But this is why classic is great, tons of options and theory’s!

[@Telarius]

@@Milloh It depends I think. If you're just autoing and not using spells. Aka judgement or crusader. Might is fine. But if you're Using Crusader judgment then applying seals every kill then wisdom 100% better.

[@robertp457]

Can't agree more. Improved Blessing of Might isn't a noticable improvement in damage.

[@gabegriffin8311]

Idk. I’m almost level 58 and throughout my leveling I’ve simply gotten water from mages 5stacks at a time and never thought about mana. IMO might is worth it if you’re staying very hydrated

[@psychstive]

solo leveling as holy is doable, it's hard when up against self healing mobs but other than that it's actually not all that bad

[@RobertAxelsen]

Been trying it out lately, and doesn’t feel slower than ret at all. Been doing int+sta and spell+heal gear. With a fast weapon it scales well with holy dmg procs.

[@peeko_luxx2873]

@@RobertAxelsenThat’s cool man! I’ve been on the fence and currently going with a prot build I’m kinda just winging as I go, but obviously gotta grab that consecration first. Aoe killing is such a good time once you get to blessing of sanctuary. I’m gonna have to make a holy pally to play now as it really did sound cool. Too many people are obsessed with meta gameplay and I understand the sentiment but it just makes it tough to find a solid group that is chill about a pally tanking when most prefer a warrior or even a Druid in some instances. Whereas a solid holy build can seemingly take care of solo play and jump easily into a group as healer! Cheers man, hope you are enjoying the HC life! 👍

[@RobertAxelsen]

@@peeko_luxx2873 awesome - give it a go and let me know how you like it 😃👍

[@zackl2011]

Can anyone confirm is spamming the sit key will give 100% chance of getting crit striked? I kind of want to Respec to a reckoning build but I want to confirm that this is the way to go in classic. I want to do big dps in dungeons and level fast.

[@zedtrix320]

This does not work in Wow Classic

[@Odesious25]

Not in Classic.

[@zackl2011]

Bummer, was looking forward to AOE farming but idk if it’s worth it now.

[@robertp457]

Reckoning only resets your swing timer it's a terrible waste of 5 points

[@1MoreTurn]

Get a weapon swing timer that shows the enemy swing timer. Sit, then stand just before the enemy swing timer is full. If you get the timing right you actually get 2 white hits (1 for reckoning and another for reseting your swing timer). Im killing green mobs in less than 5 seconds with high top end damage slow weapons (stoneslayer from uldaman) and yellow/orange mobs for sub 10 sec kills. It is mana efficient (1 holy light to heal before killing the next mob) rather than seal/judging everytime. The key is the timing because it is partially based on your internet connection. You won't be proccing reckoning all the time. I can manage 60-70% most of the time though. See the rextroy reckoning video for more information.

[@maik4393]

5 points imp bom is like 4 extra ap @ level 14... 😉

[@honaker326]

I play a little different from you guys. I like being able to swap back and forth between specs. But this is vanilla. So how do I heal (good), but still dps when needed? classic.wowhead.com/talent-calc/paladin/05503110521251--0523005122 31/0/20 is my build. I start off in the ret tree, go down to seal of command, conviction, eye for an eye is optional (I'm on a pvp server). I go full holy the rest of the way. I can sword and board heal when I heal dungeons, or throw on a two hander, and go ham. I'm definitely doing less damage than full ret, but when you are lvl 46 with a 4k mana pool using wisdom/judgement of wisdom with seal of command. I can usually out dps other ret paladins because I don't go oom as fast as they do. Just throwing my two cents out there.

[@ZeranZeran]

You make WAY more money selling skinned stuff on the Auction House in my experience. Lazy people with alot of gold buy it all up.

[@Milloh]

zeranzeran I definitely experienced the same thing for classic, on private servers I had problems selling so it was better to just vendor. I agree that the AH worked better this time.

should have mentioned when you say damage will be lower in holy spec and non ret spec that damage is not that lower i changed to sword and board holy for the fun of it and my killing time compared to ret was only 3-5 seconds lower so yeah

[@SuperRareIRL]

wtf lol

[@Jvstm]

All of your talent spec suggestions are awful. Want the best leveling spec? 11 Ret for SoCom (Benediction and Deflection) 11 Holy for Consecration (Strength and the Concentration Aura talent) Pursuit of Justice 2 in Critical Strike 2 in Imp Ret Aura That's it. That's all you need for the best leveling spec. After that I would suggest going Prot (Redoubt, Precision, Imp BoP, Imp Righteous Fury) if you want to tank some more or finishing Ret 5/5 Vengeance. Ignore Repentance for PvE content.

[@Milloh]

Jvstm thanks for your suggestions! Good luck out there :)

[@Jvstm]

@@Milloh So, in an attempt to be less rude... Reduced cooldown on Judgment does very little outside of boss fights in dungeons because most trash pulls and quest mobs die in 2-3 judgment rotations meaning you won't get extra casts of it almost ever. Defoection is GREAT because it doubles your party chance and parrying gives you party haste. Imp Concentration Aura is a godsend because it gives your heals 100% resistance to knockback meaning you can hit it in a tough fight and heal without worry. Imp Ret Aura is great because it puts out way more damage than Sanctity will while questing and makes it easier to tank for 5man groups because the big increase in holy damage. Divine Intellect is less useful because while leveling it's unlikely that you will have large amounts of Int unless you're leveling Holy. Imp BoP might be the best talent in all three trees for group utility. It acts as a life saver and a psuedo taunt. It's unwise to rush Holy Shield if you're going for an AoE build because the damage is negligible and Consecration will put higher numbers at equivalent mana costs. Also, while the 30% block is nice, redoubt will proc a LOT when you're AoE grinding so it loses a lot of value because of that. This is obviously for leveling. Specs change at 6p once you get in to the raid scene. Got two 60 Paladins in a raid guild, one Prot and one Ret/Holy.

[@MrSparerib77]

Tanking with seal of command? Stopped watching

[@henkarars]

Dwarf paladin is not necessary at all. even if they have stoneform.. It's more useful for rogues or hunters.. not for paladins. Paladins already have clean ability. While human paladin has stealth detections and more dmg with mace and swords... and spirit increase.. is way more useful.. Dwarf paladin is helpful in pve. Can't agree anything with this review no sorry

[@Milloh]

henkarars if you are stuck in a blind you can’t use cleanse. Weapon specializes in pvp is equivalent to 0.2% hit or so, if you think that’s worth it for pvp then awesome! Good luck out there!

Yeah but dwarf, along with gnomes, are the master races!!

There are tons of scenarios where stoneform is a big plus, if I rolled a paladin it would 100% be dwarf.

I think this video is unpersonal because I think seeing you in the corner gaming and not making really contact with the people watching your video. It feels unpersonal this way. I also think that the video about you doing the deadmines dungeon has nothing to do what you are trying to tell the people who are watching your video. It doesn't make sense. Do you get what I am saying? I mean c'mon seeks some interaction with your audience or show that you have the x-factor. I think that "just live talking" what you are saying in the video is more reliable. I mean I just want to see you talking and gaming at the same time. Or that it is not some recorded voice. Could you do that? Like talk and see you talking in a video and then explain the people and show the people what you are talking? Do you understand me now ?
