Paladin Leveling Specs – A WotLK Paladin Leveling Compilation

In WotLK, Paladin has come to life in a big way. Now one of the most consistently powerful classes, many players want their own. Discover the best paladin leveling spec to make your journey from 1 to 80 as quick and easy as possible.

WoW has been around for a long time, and like all MMOs, it has changed a lot over the years. However, this creates a bit of a problem when searching for up-to-date information. So I will say now that this article is about an updated version of WotLK Paladin leveling as of June 2009.

You may have heard of Prot AoE leveling, but it’s impractical for a number of reasons, and the negatives outweigh the positives if you want to level up as quickly as possible. So this build will be a Ret leveling spec, focusing on hitting things with two hands.

5/5 Blessing (Levels 10-14)

Your first talent points should go towards Blessing. Max it out early – It might not look as good as other starting talents, but pretty soon the main limit on your DPS will be mana efficiency, and this will make your main abilities cost less.

2/2 Improved judgments (15-16)

Your main source of damage for your entire Paladin leveling run, you want to be able to spam judgments as often as possible.

2/2 Improved Blessing of Power (17-18)

An obvious talent, more strength = more damage = faster leveling.

1/3 Heart of the Crusader (19)

A good talent, but for now we only put one point, since getting to the next level is more important.

1/1 Seal of Command (20)

This will be your new Reference Stamp for leveling.

2/2 Vindication (21-22)

This debuff will lower production and damage reduction from enemies, which will reduce downtime and kill faster.

2/2 In search of justice (23-24)

This is one of my favorite talents. Nothing will reduce leveling time faster than increased movement speed.

2/2 An Eye for an Eye (25-26)

This will mean that an unlucky crit from an enemy doesn’t always mean another GY run.

3/3 Sanctity of battle (27-29)

Another major damage increasing talent for your paladin leveling spec.

3/3 Two-Handed Weapon Specialization (30-32)

AND ANOTHER major damage talent for your WotLK Paladin leveling build.

1/1 Sanctified Retribution (33)

Another damage increase, not just for you but for any party member.

3/3 Heart of the Crusader (34-35)

It’s time to kill off this talent.

4/5 Belief (36-39)

Crits are important to paladins, but even more important at this point is

3/3 Judgments of the Wise (40-42)

This talent will give you enough mana to become an unstoppable giant of skill spam. You will get a massive boost in kill speed now.

1/1 Repentance (43)

It’s good to have some CC while leveling up, as Paladin is a bit lacking. Also, necessary for fanaticism.

2/2 The art of war (44-45)

A huge damage increase AND survivability increase.

3/3 Fanaticism (46-48)

More critical, more damage, faster leveling.

5/5 Belief (49)

Finish this talent now.

1/1 Cross Strike (50)

Woohoo, another instant damage attack to spend mana. Another increase in kill speed.

3/3 Quick Retribution (51-53)

Nice all around.

3/3 Vengeance (54-56)

This is a nice buff now that you have a decent amount of crit boost talents.

3/3 Just Revenge (57-59)

Another great damage buff.

1/1 divine storm

Another impressive attack.

From here I would recommend venturing into the Prot tree and grabbing 5/5 Divine Force.

Afterward, feel free to put the rest of your points into any talent that catches your eye. You already have the key talents for a good WotLK Paladin leveling build.
