Paladin Protection Builds
Tankadin
Talent Calculator 0/44/7
During patch 2.0, Blizzard made some changes to the paladin talents which allowed them to be much better at tanking. Spiritual Attunement allows the paladin to gain 8% - 10% of mana for each heal. Consecration was changed from a talent gained from the Holy tree to a trainable talent. Righteous Defense commands up to 3 targets attacking someone to attack you instead, it's basically a taunt. Tankadins use a 1 handed weapon and a shield for the chance to block and extra defense. The protection tree is filled with talents to help increase your use of the shield, decrease damage taken, and help generate more threat. Righteous Fury is an important skill to have to keep your threat high and the mobs on you, improved righteous fury is a must.
Holy Tank
Talent Calculator 0/41/20
This build is a bit like the Tankadin build but goes into the Holy tree a bit. It takes away some points from your resistance to stun, your chance to hit, and the improved hammer of justice talent. It puts those points into increasing your intellect and your chance to not lose casting time while taking damage.
Survivadin
Talent Calculator 23/38/0
This build is a mix of a Healadin and a Tankadin. This makes paladins in between the two. It has the talents needed to take some serious blows and also has some important healing talents but won't be as good as the healadin at healing or the tankadin at tanking.
Critadin
Talent Calculator 5/3/38
This build is more for the paladin looking to deal the most damage possible. It's good for PvP and you can do well on the damage meters but it's not so great for raids or times when you need to heal. If you do find yourself as the healer in a party make sure to keep Blessing of Wisdom or Blessing of Light up on the enemy. This build focuses on talents that will help deal more melee damage. You enter the holy tree to get the added strength and the protection tree to get the extra defense bonus from devotion aura but other than that you stay in the retribution tree and increase your critical strike chance and get seal of command.
Paladin Weaknesses:
Very gear and spec dependant to do what they want.
They are weak to magic attacks.
With limited mobility.
They can be complicated to play.
With the Wrath of the Lich King hitting the market, we will see some changes referring to the paladins in terms of their talents, spells and others. Now we will have a review of the paladin talents builds in details.
Protection Builds
Tanking Build: This build gets all of the normal Tanking talents which includes Holy Shield, Toughness, Redoubt, Hammer of the Righteous and many more. The core Protection talents chosen in this build should be in every tanking build and it would be easy to pick up even more talents in the tree, however we are saving points to go into the other two trees.
In addition to all the Protection tree talents the build moves into the Holy tree to get the improved threat from Seals of the Pure and reduced fear from Unyielding Faith. In addition it moves into the Retribution Tree to grab the 5% parry from Deflection and to cut down your judgement cooldown by a second with Improved Judgements.
So you want to take a beating, do you? Well, we’ve got the right place for you. Our Protection guide will walk you through the basics of playing a protection based Paladin, or Tankadin as they are commonly called.
Retribution Builds
PvE Build: This build is for those players looking for the best possible DPS, giving up healing and defence for the ability to lay the holy smack down on the enemy!
This build gives you the highest amount of possible damage. There are few compromises for anything else in the build. While using this build and properly geared you will be able to do huge damage, while providing group buffs, some group healing through your Divine Wrath ability, and mana return from your Judgements of the Wise.
