Which spec to go to leveling a paladin?
I mean 10-60, not just 50-60, I just made a new paladin to be a lightforged draenei.
Im leveling as rest, but, I feels like doesnt has AoE spells (the only one is good for that its the lightforged draenei’s racial) and also the skills has a high cooldown, doesnt has a “basic attack spell”.
So, which spec to go and what are the tips?
I have read that leveling Protection pally is good for leveling. Even though its the tanking spec dishes out the damage. If you don’t want to go protection just go Retribution.
Here’s talent tree for Protection and Retribution. https://www.wowhead.com/paladin-leveling-guide#protection-leveling-talents

There are other sources out there like on Icyveins and mmochampions so you can go to those sites and compared notes.
Thanks alot.
And I made a mess, I was leveling as rest not prot, Ill gonna try as prot now, thanks.
Just level as Ret.
I leveled my palies as Prot. You lose very little DPS, and are unkillable. You can also easily solo elites, rares your level.
You will kill single mobs a bit faster as ret, but in prot, you can pull 5 mobs at a time and end up full health and mana. Prot is especially great for world quests, where you need to kill a ton of mobs to get anywhere.
It’s easy enough to switch between them, and you should get to know both specs anyway. Leveling is the perfect chance to get good at all the specs, as it isn’t particularly challenging.
Bonus: Fast Q times.
I always level my characters as the spec I plan to play them as. That way I’m already building the muscle memory for all my abilities, and I have time to learn exactly how everything works before jumping into group play. My pally just hit 59 yesterday, and I leveled her as Holy the entire way.
This is what I do. Switch between the two.
Prot, does a good amount of damage and you can pull groups and burn them down. Also you can’t be dazed and knock off your mount as you run from quest to quest
