Best paladin race?

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion
1

Which race is better for buffing/healing as a paladin, dwarf or human? I’ve looked it up and there’s a lot of mixed answers.

2

Human… they have more Spirit

3

I mean… humans have a spirit racial bonus right? For healing that is the only thing I can even think of that might be considered an advantage.

4

The answers are mixed, because both have benefits, and its largely an RPG choice.

When I looked it up I saw a lot of people saying spirit doesn’t matter because there isn’t any time where you will be using it in raids, as a paladin I mean. I’m not sure how true that is.

They also said the dwarf racial is better for cleansing yourself in raids.

They only exist as Forum Trolls… only female human paladins exist ingame!

Thanks for proving my point!

I mean… if you want the right answer to everything it’ll obviously always be Dwarves. For Everything!

Pallys get Mana from mp/5 and crit healing.

PvP perspective dwarf is prolly better since stoneform is prolly the best racial.

Yeah, so that does make the spirit bonus on humans moot then? That’s what I had read.

Seems like it might be the best choice for PVE too if the spirit bonus doesn’t matter. People said it’s good for cleansing debuffs on Naxx.

yea Spirit is basically useless for Holy Paladins as you never enter the 5 second rule to enable mana regen ticks

Not at first, but once you get enough crit to make FoL spam the go-to heal, it will be. Unless you PvP or lolret, Human vs. Dwarf is purely aesthetic.

Thanks, dwarf it is then!

well Stone Form is the ultimate PvP racial alliance side since you can’t cast Cleanse on yourself while Blinded

but you can cast Stone Form to remove it

Eventually in AQ and Naxx you will have so much +healing you can use rank 1 flash of light and will NEVER oom.

if your class can be played as a dwarf then the answer is always dwarf ofc

Humans were by far the best race in Vanilla for one simple reason. +% rep. That made such a massive difference back then.

Edit: My biggest regret in vanilla was not maining a Human. I love my horde rogue and hunter but the sheer amount of time I could of saved with hat simple rep racial would of taken literal days off my /played.

But stoneform saves you 600$, because if I die to even 1 rogue I punch monitor.
