I have decided on Paladin being my main, should I solo or group level?

From my reading, it seems sword + board with SoR and some +spell damage and proc gear is the way to go if solo.

My question is: As far as speed, how would being a healer for another person ( say warrior or rogue) compare to questing solo like the above? Does anyone have any experience with this?

i know either is a very viable option.
sword and board (Fast weapon) + SoR, BoS, and reactive damage, or being a healer for a warrior or rogue.

A rogue with a pocket healer = 0 downtime. More mobs to kill since you split experience, but you’ll knock out quests faster because there’s 0 waiting.

I know the main tank and main tank healer for our guild was a father/son team that leveled together with father playing a warrior and the son providing the healing with a paladin.

it worked well for them and they never had a problem filling a group for anything.

I do not believe that they were rushing to 60, but they were among the first 60’s in our guild.

BoS? All I see when searching is Blessing of Salvation, but that can’t be it.

reduces damage you take, does damage to them on block

Oh! Does that mean I should be also taking consecration+ ret aura and pulling multiple mobs at once? Or still just 1 or 2 at a time?

i wouldn’t take consecrate at all. ret aura is a given. and yes, prot specced paladins are one of the few specs able to aoe pull mobs.

that said, i would wait until you actually get BoS to bother with aoe pulling at first. at level 30. at level 40 it gets even better with holy shield.

this is the build i would aim for. keep in mind you go down the prot tree first. obviously.

imo, don’t do dungeons just for the xp if you’ve already done the quests; if you’re gonna do it, then do it for the quests and/or loot
there are few items that are worth doing lvl<45 dungeons over and over for

getting a group together to do a dungeon can be a very time-consuming process; if you just want to go for the xp, then do it if the group is g2g after getting a tank or a tank and 1-3 dps

There is a space in your link (https ://) just before the colon.

yeah. its because you can’t actually link stuff on the forums. so you put the space in there so they know what the link is. copy one part, copy the second part.

You can link stuff on the forums. It’s based on your forum level and rank. If I remember right I think pictures are the last thing you get the right to post. All this paladin talk makes me think of this:

Depends on your play style, i became a heal slave to a warrior in Stranglethorn zone and it was great

well clearly i’m not at that level yet.

Here is there post on it :slight_smile:

Ugh scroll up in that link to trust levels
Trust level 3 is not that easy to get the way it reads.

Spell power and proc gear leveling up?

Oh you sweet summer child…

probably isn’t a trusted website then. i can do youtube links and forum links.

Its a support class in Classic so if you have the choice of grouping up then that just helps you and everyone else out, its not necessary though.

Eh, perhaps. I only leveled a priest back then and I am not an alt-o-holic, so I don’t remember much of the gear. I specced into imp wand and dotted everything in range and wanded them down :joy: I then spent most of my time doing the GY run from the spirit rezzer to MC.

Oh the memories! I could point my guy while dead, get rezzed, and then put it on auto run and go to the restroom, and when I was back I would be walking up the BRD steps :slight_smile: sigh After all those tries, I am still sad that I didn’t have benediction to go with my Devout set.
