Modern PvP: Your Paladin Can Rule
Player versus Player (PvP) combat is in your Paladin’s future, even if you’ve avoided it so far. WotLK has brought more advanced, real time battles to the game.
The first real time PvP battle zone is Lake Wintergrasp. In this new zone, players face off on the live server to earn points that allow them to buy a wide variety of special items such as the new Heirloom items. These are items that any of the player’s characters in that account regardless of that character’s level can use.
With Lake Wintergrasp’s high popularity, and the increasing amount of PvP combat in other popular games, there will surely be even more World PvP in the future. Here’s what you need to know to handle your Paladin in this new world:
Playing a Paladin class character in World of Warcraft PvP requires a little bit of schizophrenia. Paladins can fight like tanks, but at the same time have the magical power to heal themselves and others, at least while their mana lasts. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of this class is crucial if you want to dominate in player versus player combat.
A Paladin can play more than one role in the arena. When soloing, a Paladin’s ability to heal themselves can drive their opponents crazy. If they start out with a high level of mana available, Paladins can heal back from almost any level of damage once or twice and essentially double or even triple their health bar. In other words, a smart Paladin with mana available to use will still be standing long after they “should” be dead. When playing as part of a group, Paladins often play more of a support role, providing bubbles, blessings, heals, and combat support wherever it is needed on the battlefield. This is a role that a skilled Palading will excel at, making them valuable assets for any party.
While playing a Paladin offers many benefits, the Paladin class has its downsides too. A Paladin’s mana supply is always limited, and once it is gone, so are many of this classes advantages. Even when their mana reserve is full, Paladins can have a terrible time drawing close enough to Hunters and Mages to do any damage at all! Knowing how to make the best use of their mana, and how to fight against each opposing class is key to PvP success for a Paladin class character. As with other WoW classes, learning what you need to know by trial and error is a long, slow, bloody process.
Avoiding that long and bloody stuff is a great reason to invest in a Paladin PvP Guide. The best guide gives you a detailed blueprint for fighting against each other character class. But it will give you much more that that. It will teach you just about everything there is to know about achieving victory in each PvP situation, whether dueling one-on-one, or as part of a party, or in World PvP.
