AOE PROTECTION PALADIN GUIDE (Leveling, Boosting, Talents, BiS, Gold Farming) WoW TBC Classic

this video is going to be all about the aoe protection paladin i'm breaking it into four different sections so number one i'm going to talk about why you should play an aoe protection paladin two i'm going to talk about equipping your paladin both for leveling and then when you're at 70 the best in slot gear number three i'm going to talk about talents what talents you should get while leveling and what talents you should have at level 70 and four where to grind where to grind while leveling where to grind for gold and where to grind of course for boosting so with that said let's just jump right into it and start talking about why you should play an aoe protection paladin in the burning crusade classic so number one the aoe nerf the aoe nerf as of patch 2.2.0 is a burning crusade patch and each rank of a spell is given a maximum amount of damage it can do so for example if you cast a spell with a stated damage of 200 over 10 seconds in an unstated cap of 2000 i'm gonna explain what happens so if there's one mob the spell will deal 200 damage to that single minion if there are two mobs then each mob will take 200 adding up to 400 damage now i'm getting the point if there's 10 mobs each will take 200 adding to 2 000 but here's the thing if there's 11 mobs you'll still deal 2 000 damage but each mob will each take 181.8 damage each so there's a point where you reach the maximum amount of damage your spell can do and each mob will be left with more health so this hurts aoe boosting where you'd pull all of maradon in one pole for example and each minion would take the maximum amount that your spell would do whereas now if you pull too many mobs each mob is going to share that damage dividing up that maximum that maximum cap so i'm going to give you a more realistic example take blizzard rank 6. it's going to do 1272 frost damage over eight seconds and 363 bonus spell damage for one through 11 mobs it'll do 260 236 to 237 damage per damage tick but if you have 12 mobs it's gonna do 231 to 232 damage per damage tick so with this nerf boosting as we know it will probably change dramatically however paladin boosting relies on holy shield shield spike retribution aura among some specific items and these spells do not do aoe damage and aren't affected by the aoe damage cap of course consecration um is one of those aoe spells that does get nerfed by the aoe cap but you know the rest of the stuff i just said is not so this is going to make paladins most likely the best in slot boosting class so if you want to aoe farm if you want to boost paladin will be your class all right now that i've convinced you to play paladin for aoe farming and boosting let's talk gear let's talk with gear progression from the lower levels and work our way up to the best in slot gear at level 70 i've scoured the internet and i have found the absolute best gear for aoe tanking paladins uh you're gonna love to see these items so stay tuned um so while leveling and we're gonna start you know down here at the lowest level you're gonna want to aim for items with a lot of stamina intellect and defense stamina to survive and elect to keep your mana up in defense again to survive so uh at level 16 it's an alliance only ring seal of rin uh it has a little bit of almost every stat it's a nice ring to go after it's gonna be worth your time at level 18 we have a horde only ring seal of sylvanas this gives eight stamina which is quite a bit actually for this level um if you're getting boosted if this character is not your main then you can get it at 18 but you'll probably have to be 20 plus if you're gonna run shadowfang keep to kill arugal to bring his head to turn in to get that seal of sylvanas at level 26 we have a horde only uh what windstorm hammer it's got nice stats plus six strength plus six stamina and can be acquired at uh at as low as level 26 um but then you're gonna have to get rushed uh because um the quest requires you to find a book in the library of scarlet monastery um so you'll probably have to be higher level for that if you want to do it yourself with a group here's a big one for aoe leveling um at level 28 you can equip thermaplug's central core now this is basically the ideal shield until you go to scarlet monastery uh the proc is great and it will proc off any physical damage hit done to you and at level 30 we have the alliance only talvasch's gold ring or the horde only nogs gold ring you've got the griming cust encrusted ring that drops from gnomeregan and leads to the quests to make these plus nine stamina rings at level 32 you can try to get dragon claw ring this provides plus 10 stamina and it's obtainable from a level 37 quest in razer fan downs and there's a lot of razer fan downs gear that's quite good for you so we're gonna get to that next at level 33 there's a horde only sort of almond even though there's only plus four stamina on this weapon it has a lot of really other good stats like the strength and the weapon speed is absolutely perfect basically as we go through this you're going to want a one-handed weapon that does at least two weapon speed or less due to reckoning and we'll get it we'll get to that later and that'll make sense um you know honestly sort of almond could be replaced probably with a different item but um with higher stamina but it's a pretty strong sword basically so horde only all right so at level 34 we have the alliance only sword the sword of serenity it's got plus nine stamina it's got good speed it's alliance only but it's strong at level 37 we've got harad's shoulder we've got high stamina on this and it makes it a good shoulder until you can start wearing plates which is soon at level 39 you can get aegis of the scarlet commander this is the shield you should aim for after thermoplug central core it has the key stats that you're looking for stamina on armor and then at level 39 you can get mark of the chosen this is a maradon quest item for both horde and alliance it has an equip has a two percent chance when struck in combat of increasing all stats by 25 for 60 seconds so we know we're aoe leveling here as protection paladin so it's going to go off quite a bit and it's going to let you hit with plenty plus 25 extra strength strength and then that 250 health from that stamina is going to be awesome um it's definitely going to be the best for aoe grinding paladins at level 40 carapace of tootin cash just straight up good stats you got ice metal bar boot uh great helm from razer fun downs last guy uh level 44 you've got truesilver breastplate this is a fun item i love just looking at it the stats are great it's craftable by blacksmiths and it's boe so you could just buy it as well if you get it right at level 44 it's going to be a really nice way to improve your survivability getting those procs at level 45 you've got thrash blade this is a maradon quest reward a chance to get an extra attack which is fantastic for our purposes i'll get into how to aoe farm later after we go through the gear level 46 we've got the six demon bag this is kind of a world drop so it can be hard to get so don't really sweat it if you can't get it but it gives you a powerful frontal cone aoe use effect also at level 46 we've got the worm slayer spaulders great shoulders once again you can debate uh if you want the agility from these or the spirit from big bad pauldrons um at the end of the day these might cost you a bit of gold to get whereas big bad pauldrons have a nice drop rate these do not um at 47 uther strength is a really fun trinket gives you a 250 health point shield which can happen actually again quite frequently when we're pulling you know four to you know ten mobs depending on the pull um another one you might again might not find on your own but if you can buy it cheap go for it it's not biss so don't like think you need to get it or it's the end of the world at level 48 i'd go after gizlock's hypertech buckler uh it's an unusual shield having int and mana regen but you definitely need those things and if you're particularly struggling with mana i would suggest this shield as well 49 aegis of stormwind um if this is cheap on the auction house definitely go for it it's got high stamina and armor uh definitely makes it an upgrade from the aegis of the scarlet commander and then at 52 we have a very fun item the demon forged breastplate this is a boe crafted item giving you a chance on hit to drain life and it scales with spell power it's going to be really strong especially level 52 so if you can get this at 52 go for it definitely all right level 52 you can also get bracers of valor um so you know if you're pro you're probably either aoe grinding or doing dungeons as well i think this is a solid piece of gear the set bonuses are pretty nice actually so not only are we going to try to get bracers of valor but i would also go for the belts of valor boots of valor gauntlets of valor spaulders and helm of valor um it's you get the chance on hit to heal yourself if you can get these that six piece set bonus so i would go after it since you're probably gonna be dungeon grinding anyway as prot um or or aoe grinding depending um just a solid solid piece of gear and you get a really nice set bonus of course while you're doing dungeon grinds if you can get hand of justice of course it's helpful but don't go out of your way to get this like don't think it's necessary but if if it drops yeah you should definitely try to get that um at 54 nagel ring obviously i mean if you just read it it's fantastic for aoe grinding it's best in slot for your ring slot you'll want it eventually so the sooner you can get it the better so go out of your way to get this one unlike the valor set um skull flame shield level 54. um probably going to be really expensive costing hundreds of gold but it has a life stealing and aoe flame strike effect so uh it's got really good armor and block so it's super effective for grinding in the 50s and and probably you know until you get to outland uh even then it's probably still great up until you get uh the next shield which i can't wait to tell you about um at level 60 you can equip the essence of pure flame it's actually bis abyss trinket slot so if you can run molten core while you're leveling to 70 definitely try to get this if you can't totally understandable you can get it later but you're going to want to get it eventually level 60 you've uh you've got an optional i put this optional but it's up to you it's up to your individual choice we've got the force reactive disc it's got incredible damage it's going to give you some really fast grinding uh it breaks really easily there's a chance to lose one durability after blocking so as a protection paladin who expects you know to block you're gonna block a lot and this thing's gonna break really fast so it could really kind of slow you down so you're going to grind really fast things going to die much faster but you're also going to have to get repairs a lot more so it's it's optional but it's it's an option um for you if you're interested all right at level 62 we've got the new burning crusade shield that is the best in slot i can't wait to tell you guys about it it is the petrified lickin guard okay this uh this shield comes with a proc that is a very nice damage over time effect whenever you block it only requires grinding to honored reputation with the sporoguar in xangar marsh and you have to collect 15 glow caps in order to purchase it it procs on every single block and the damage over time deals 12 damage every three seconds stacking up to five times yes that's correct 60 damage every three seconds um this effect is affected by one-handed weapon specialization which is a burning crusade change to not only deal the physical damage but all of your damage is improved by five percent with five points in it and it does a total of 63 damage per tick on a fully stacked dot with 5 out of 5 out of that because five percent of 60 is three uh so yeah there you go it stacks up to five times last 12 seconds refreshing uh when another stack is applied so pretty much should never come off um so when you get this shield really quickly the first thing you should probably do is get the fel steel shield spike um say that five times really fast uh tbc has added the fel steel shield spike and that is the best in slot shield spike and i probably should have mentioned this while you're going through the gear but you're basically always going to want a shield spike on your character while you're going through this um it's the best in slot shield enchant and the petrified licking guard is the best shield uh for aoe grinding in the burning crusade to make the shield spike uh you'll need to be a blacksmith and you'll need four fel steel bars four primal fire and four primal earth but you don't have to be a blacksmith to equip it um so you could just buy it from the auction house and apply it yourself or you could take those materials hand it over to blacksmith and they can make it for you and then give it to you um two items that are very strong when combined with um you know the whole aoe thing these two together are the figurine of the colossus and de beers enigma so figurine of the colossus gives you 32 block rating passive and the uh use effect that each successful block kills you for 120 effect lasts 20 seconds de beers gives you 125 block rating on use so you can see the two have great synergy together you pop both of them uh and basically you're going to heal yourself to full guaranteed you're right you're going to have like 20 30 mobs on you whatever it is you just pop those to your full health within a matter of seconds um so if you're not super confident in your gear yet and you want to have an option to just get yourself to full health if you know you messed up or you're just taking too much damage those two trinkets are incredible together um not necessarily abyss because there's other things that do more damage um these are both survival uh quite frankly but you know um maybe you need it if you want to do a ridiculous pull like ridiculous um yep all right so what's next oh so de berry's enigma is a quest reward from demencius the all-devouring uh that is a quest another storm and figurine of the colossus drops off war chief cargath bladefist which is the last boss of shattered halls in hellfire peninsula so the order for the shield spikes from weakest to strongest hasn't changed much but if you need a refresher the weakest shield spike is the iron one then methyl thorium and then after thorium is fel steel uh so those are the four shield spikes in order of weakest to strongest um you'll want to always have a shield spike while you're doing this aoe paladin business all right now that we've covered the items that are good while leveling let's talk best in slot let's talk biss my friends and we actually covered a few already so the helm the crystal forge face guard and the reason i want this helm is because if you look at the two-piece set bonus it gives you a 15 or sorry it gives you 15 increased damage from retribution aura now at rank 6 which is the max rank of retribution aura it does 26 damage so plus 15 increased damage is nearly a 58 increase in damage now that that's just ridiculous that's just absurd i mean i'm going after that i'm gonna get that two-piece set bonus i mean retribution aura is now like literally like 58 stronger it's it's broken it's crazy good so get that two-piece set bonus uh the neck you're going to want steam hinge chain of valor and my logic here is i'm just looking for block rating i want more blocks because the more blocks you get essentially you'll be doing more damage you're going to get more procs from your shield um so it's just a really nice tanking neck piece but it has block value or block rating shoulders you got the pauldrons of stone resolve same same logic there block rating greater inscription of the night i'd rather have more defense than dodge because you want more more blocks right this is a scryer enchant uh opposing the alder enchant which is flipped the defense and dodge stats um it's the only difference between the two and honestly it's not that substantial uh for the back you're gonna want cloak of flames um this is just amazing if you can get it the enchant on that you'll want uh major armor for the chest demon forged breastplate it's just it's fantastic it's damage you want as much as you can get i would enchant it with exceptional stats uh for your bracer bracers of dignity again this is just a good tanking bracer uh nothing aoe special about it um gloves razor gauntlets um these are gonna really help you it's got that aoe damage i'd enchant it with major spell power that's gonna just provide a lot of um benefit to like retribution aura to uh demon forge blast breastplate consecration all all your stuff basically uh for your belt just go after the shattari vindicators wasteguard again just another good tanking uh piece of gear for legs uh crystal forged legards so again this is going to complete that two-piece i talked about earlier it's going to give you that 15 increase damage from retribution aura you're going to want that not 15 increased damage 58 percent increased damage it's broken it's broken dude 58 percent better broken uh boots you want boots to the protector uh just another good tanking piece enchant boots boar speed uh for the ring we talked about this you want the nagel ring it's gonna give you that three damage three arcane damage every time someone touches you uh for the ring this is actually a very cool ring you want on dormoo's tier so that's very nice it's got exactly the stats we're looking for here's the fun stuff the trinkets now we talked a little bit about some trinkets you can go for but in my humble opinion i think that there are some trinkets even better and one of those trinkets is dark moon card vengeance so dark moon card vengeance is going to really help your damage quite a lot like look at look at this like the amount of damage that that freaking card does it's fantastic and the chance on it happening 10 i mean dude that's gonna proc a lot my friend so if you are you know your character is like decked out strong not gonna die or maybe whatever you're not pulling too many definitely gonna help your damage i would go after darkmoon card vengeance alternatively i mentioned it you could go after figurine of the colossus for more survivability or maybe you want figurine and darkmoon card you could do both of those too the other trinkets i actually already mentioned essence of the pure flame you can get that extra dps or de berry's enigma so these four trinkets i think are all good i think they all have their place you can switch it out for something else like if you want the thing of six demons bag of six demons or whatever go go for it like it's up to you but i think this is the the best trinkets you can go after for a weapon uh i'm gonna i'm gonna say crystal forge sword uh it's got the stats we're looking for and then for the enchant actually fiery blaze enchantment this gives your weapon a chance to actually do aoe fire damage um it's not an enchant an enchanter can do you gotta go do the quest um which i will link in the description below for the shield we talked about it petrified licking guard with fel steel shield spike that is absolutely best in slot no question about it definitely go after that shield and here's a really fun one the libra so the tome of the lightbringer is in my opinion the absolute best in slot drops off mother shahraz in the black temple the alternative would be librium of repentance but your holy shield only has eight charges so i think it would be used up very quickly making tome of the lightbringer have much more value for aoe farming grinding boosting in my opinion um because it can't just turn off uh quickly right okay so for gems uh a lot of these items are gonna have sockets you've seen so uh for your meta i would uh recommend eternal earth storm diamond it has 12 defense rating and plus 5 percent shield block you've got solid star balloons got 12 stamina solid azure moonstone 9 stamina you've got the subtle living ruby which gives plus 8 dodge rating uh you got flashing living ruby plus eight perry you've got thick dawn stone plus eight defense rating enduring talus sight plus four defense rating and plus six stamina you got glowing knight's eye plus five spell damage remember spell damage is good and uh plus six stamina and you've got shifting knight's eye which is plus four agility and plus six stamina uh agility's gonna give you some armor some chance to crit and uh the stamina is good as well now when it comes to consumables um there's a bunch you probably already know all of them i looked and tbc didn't really add anything significant as far as i could find you know the dragon's breath chili you know uh the immolation oil you know you should know uh if you did it in vanilla if not um you know though you can start with those two and look up the rest um all right so let's move on to talents uh there have been a lot of talent changes going from vanilla classic world of warcraft over to tbc classic world of warcraft and i'm going to walk you through some of those changes and then i'm going to talk about the talents you should go in the order you should pick them while leveling and then the order or i guess just when you're 70 what's the best setup for your talents so let's talk about the changes so first of all improved righteous fury is now going to reduce damage taken by two percent per point up to six percent previously that did not exist anticipation uh now increases defense skill by four per point versus two per point in classic so a nice little buff right there reckoning uh is very different in tbc so they changed it pretty much completely instead of a 100 chance to get an extra attack after getting critically hit in classic uh at five points you have a 10 chance after being hit by any damaging attack that the next four swings within eight seconds will generate an extra attack so this is basically why you want to have a weapon that has two or less weapon speed because you have eight seconds to swing four times so in order to get those four swings in within those eight seconds to uh generate that extra attack um you gotta have a weapon fast enough to swing four times within eight seconds it's a thing you could miss but it's really important now this change is good and bad so you can't abuse the mechanic like in classic since you only have eight seconds to get those extra swings you can't just collect your reckoning and just explode on someone on who does he doesn't see it coming explode on someone uh but it's more likely to proc more often in tbc right it's a 10 chance of just getting hit instead of 100 chance off of getting critically hit again it's important to have a weapon that is two-speed or faster because you're gonna want you get your four extra attacks so another big update is the update to one-handed weapon specialization which increases all damage you deal while you have a one-handed weapon equipped by one percent per point i want to stress all damage you deal it's not just the physical damage that you're doing with your weapon it's all damage see back in classic it was um it was two percent per point but only the damage you deal with your weapon so in classic it could go up to ten percent at five out of five but it was only your physical weapon in tbc it's one percent but it's all your damage so everything right even the proc off the sporoguar shield uh sorry uh holy shield was buffed moving on to holy shield uh in classic increased block by 30 and dealt 65 damage for each attack blocked while active with a max of four charges and in the burning crusade holy shield does still increase chance to block by 30 it still has four charges but with the addition of a new talent called improved holy shield you can get the max charges up to eight and also increase the damage caused by holy shield by twenty percent nice talent another huge talent that was added in the burning crusade is ardent defender this talent reduces damage taken by 30 when you have less than 35 health when you're 5 out of 5. this talent as you put points into it it will reduce the damage taken by um like what like 5 5 10 15 20 something like that per talent point but it'll always proc when you have less than 35 percent health and that's how that talent functions as you put points into it it's also another new damage mitigation talent called spell warding which reduces spell damage taken by four percent when you're two out of two and combat expertise which increases stamina by ten percent not mitigation but a nice tanking talent with that extra health all right and the elephant in the room for aoe protection paladins consecration is no longer a holy talent all paladins get the spell this is fantastic because you had to go into the holy treaty of consecration and there was this big debate over you know should we go to holi to get consecration or should we start in protection how do we do it as aoe paladins uh who want to level as as prot well uh you don't have to go holy anymore consecration is no longer talent thank you thank the light um so with that being said let's talk about the really important talents here for aoe leveling so you're going to want to go five out of five redoubt then you're going to want to go five out of five toughness then three out of three improved righteous fury into three out of three shield specialization into three out of three precision yes that hit chance is very important one out of five anticipation 1 out of 1 blessing of sanctuary and then you can get reckoning now you can technically start your transition from retribution over to protection as early as level 34 with four out of five in reckoning and of course you'll want to get five out of five reckoning when you turn level 35 um and then of course you progress to one handed weapon specialization until you can get holy shield at 40 and get one out of one holy shield so that's sort of the talent progression um you know people a lot of people want to know when when can i start doing this aoe tanking or aoe grinding leveling 34 is pretty much um as as early as you probably want to do it reckoning is really strong so four out of five reckoning i would say is the the sacrifice one point out of that 35 if you want to be extra safe 40 if you want to have holy shield but i would say 34 you can get started all right so how do we do it what what do we what do we do to grind well you're going to buff yourself up put on retribution aura you're going to want to use seal of light and judge that seal as you aoe and then reckoning is going to give you more attacks which mean more more judgment slash seal of light procs you should be hitting them getting your health back um of course you're going to want blessing of sanctuary for that reduced damage taken uh if you get too low health you can always throw on concentration or and heal but hopefully that that doesn't happen if health is no issue at all uh then you might have the opportunity to deal with the other issue which is mana and then you'd so switch over to seal of wisdom and judge that and get procs off that of course like i mentioned before shield spike is a must for more damage when you block aoe leveling quite frankly is just more fun than single target and arguably faster as you can see here i pulled you all to see uh which paladin uh spec is fastest for leveling in the burning crusade and you can see here that a lot of people actually uh had a lot of different opinions on what was fastest so i really wanted to do a guide to show you all how do you level as aoe protection paladin uh and this hopefully will give you uh the right information to do that then at level 70 become a boosting god and also gold farming god but we're gonna get to that stuff so uh that's basically how it goes of course when you hit level 40 you know go with holy shield all that stuff um where to grind this is a big one right uh now that you've got the gear you know how to do it you got the talents now what do you do so let's say you're level 34 right i recommend you go to hillsbrad foothills and farm dun garok dwarves now you're probably thinking your head bro those mobs are elite i'm gonna get owned yes that's right no they're not they're not elite so these dwarves that were elite in vanilla are no longer in tbc in fact this is the case for a lot of areas that had elites such as stromgarde uh with the ogres and trolls and gintha allure with the trolls in hinterlands a lot of these areas that had elites uh really made the game you know as you would say sociable and having to put a group together you don't really have to do that anymore um which is good or bad depending on your perspective on it but i kind of like it uh you can if no one's around you can just do stromgarde and you could do jintalur you can do battle of hillsbrad if you're horde by yourself um while you're in this area i would recommend watching out for priests and riflemen you don't necessarily want to pull them riflemen are ranged and priests are arranged and heal so i'll be careful with those you can also go to duskwood and there's tons of nightbane worgen you know worgen everywhere you can aoe grind those safely for the most part actually i think it's contested yeah whatever go on a pve realm uh level 30 to 33 you can also do hillsbrad foothills you can do the cave yeti you can do the ferocious yetis they're inside the cave between taren mill and hillsbrad great for aoe grinding there's freaking tons of them they do enrage at low health but um there's a ton of them and even though you can't mount up and by the way you can mount a level 30 in the burning crusade still a good area to go uh here's a really great one arathi highlands uh the the dabiri militia and dabbery laborers they'll run away and pull others which can be good or bad depending on how geared you are and by the way you really want to be geared it's kind of why i listed some of the gear to go after while you're leveling um of course gear is always important but especially when you're you know doing a aoe protection palette and it could really make or break you um so at level 31 to 33 you've got the wrathy highland syndicate highway men syndicate mercenary syndicate path stalkers path suckers have a range attack which kind of makes them a pain in the you know what after they run they can attack it they'll just turn around and attack you at range it's kind of annoying um so you might have to move and pull them back to melee distance but the barns actually provide a really good enclosed space you can just los them into there and some of these mobs dual wield which means they're going to hit you faster which makes uh aoe that much better so uh definitely a good spot if it's not taken by mages or something uh you've got at level 32 to 34 you got dustless sargeran uh hate fury seders they're a bit spread out uh which makes this area a little difficult to grind but there's a lot of them uh 33 to 38 you've got arathi highlands hammerfall peons and hammerfall grunts at the gauchec farm uh you've got to be alliance for this one of course i'm almost positive horde cannot kill their own hammerfall peons the hammerfall grunts are going to enrage which increases their damage and they will also cast infected wound on you so keep that in mind of course your paladin who cares right um 35 to 38 you've got the dust swallow marsh murlocs pretty straight forward 37 to 40 you've got the cresting exiles some of them aoe frost novas keep that in mind level 40 to 42 you've got badlands earth elementals and troggs 41 to 43 you've got the swamp of sorrows murlocs they're freaking everywhere along the coast do keep in mind that the ink spewers do cast a debuff that lowers your chance to hit by 50 percent negating reckoning and i would say nullifying a lot of that health and mana uh procs that you would would have gotten because you're not hitting uh the marsh oracles are casters that ignore your avoidance uh and mitigation from armor as well since they're casters and there's also a level 50 caster roaming in there so keep that in mind if you want to go uh farm those murlocs alternatively uh you could also go to fair loss and do wood paws uh they can get a little high level so i'd recommend 43 to 46 uh there's a good level range there at 43 to 48 the zulfa rock scarab is just prime time if you run the instance and your group doesn't kill it then just go ahead and do that on your own when everyone's left the instance you can just you know aoe that before you leave at 45 to 48 you have the tanneris south sea pirates there all over the place um you know they're they're both in that cave area and they're also just along the east side of tanaris however keep in mind some pirates do use ranged weapons and you know how that works you know run to the houses whatever but the dock workers are all all melee but they do disarm you know you can never have your cake and eat it right at 45 to 48 got the feral scar yetis they're everywhere just in and around the caves they all enraged but they're all super squishy and the ogres honestly the dune mall brutes and dune mall enforcers it's the first thing that came to mind when i thought squishy like dude those ogres are so freaking squishy at 40 level 46 48 go to teneris go to the dune mall compound and just kill those guys they're so squishy they do they do the the enforcers i think have like a knock a knock up and do some damage but like a knockout but they uh but um yeah they have really low health and there's multiple camps all across the southwest oh and some some of them are casters though that'll put a curse on you that deal uh like make you deal thorns damage to yourself so watch out for that actually definitely watch out for that uh also at 46 to 48 you could go to fair loss and do the frey feather sky stormers there's a lot of those uh all throughout fair loss um and then speaking of the fray feather that reminds me of you know just generally any harpies and fair loss if you're level like 48 to 50 you could basically go grind um once uh if you're horde actually and you're uh actually on the opposite side of the world uh if you go to the blast deadlands you've got the nethergarde miners this is horde only um it's near nethergard keep you going to the mine and you just have fun there they do sunder your armor shouldn't be that big of a deal 48 to 51 you've got the thistle shrubs so it's a nice transition from the teneris dune maul compound over down to thistle shrubs if you want to do that type of type of grind there's also some quests there so it should be a good area they do entangle roots and i think they cast regrowth on themselves other than that nothing nothing to worry about let's see here what else do we have i'd say at 48 to 51 you can also do the fellawood deadwood village deadwood furbolgs um yeah there's a lot of ranged and healer mobs in fact they actually do have a minus 50 healing debuff i believe there's a lot of them in a very small area and they're really squishy so definitely great just watch out for that healing debuff if you're not too tanky um at level 50 to 54 you can move on to western plaguelands i would say dude sorrow hill just is like screaming in my head right now sorrow hill you got the skeletal flares you've got the slavering ghouls uh it's freaking fantastic farm area once you hit level 52 or around 56 go to fellwood jade fire run do the jade fire saters usually grouped in four or five you might have like one caster part of the group super squishy and they drop fell cloth which sells fairly well in the auction house even to this day in the burning crusade um if you're doing it with someone watch out for the jade fire tricker uh he will mind control one of you and that's no fun um it's like they mind control the aoe paladin the healer's just like oh my god um i'll bum rush him uh level 52-56 uh while you're in follwood go ahead and go to the iron tree cavern and start farming the warpwood treants it's a nice uh farm spot right there um at 54 to 59 we're getting towards the end of azeroth you've got the western plaguelands i mean this is pretty straightforward i say wpl you guys are probably already thinking it but of course dawson's tears blighted zombies rotting cadavers skeletal terrors just these farm fields are excellent for large poles however they do have two diseases you've got the damage over time disease and you've got the -4 stamina debuff frankly it's gonna happen so frequently that it's almost casted on you too often to dispel so i wouldn't even worry about it like i would just live with it honestly minus four stamina minus 40 health who cares right um 54 to 60 you can go to felwood to the felpaw village kill those deadwood furbogs um mostly melee with the occasional shaman and uh fairly squishy and if and again actually i just thought of it um the reputation if you if you want it so get that timber maw rep all right level 54 to 58 you can go to western plaguelands um northridge lumber camp uh you can get the scarlet lumberjacks oh watch out for that level 59 commander though yeah watch out for that guy um 57 to 60 epl uh north pass tower you've got the scourge siege engineers uh they're just east of the north pass tower they're all melee and the spot uh is pretty freaking good um if you want to like throw on force reactive disc and just start grinding them that'll that'll be some good grinding so at 58 the iconic level and once you're in the burning crusade that you can now pass through you've gained enough strength to pass through to the dark portal through the dark portal and enter hellfire peninsula i would definitely say the expedition armory it's got a long row of unyielding footmen just lined up on the hill i'm sure you can picture that huge pulls but very very slow respawn rate so keep that in mind if you pull a knight kill that guy first because they cast a heel at uh 60 to 62 um you can do southern rampart rampart gorgas outpost uh killing the shattered hand orcs some casters uh but what's nice is that the berserkers dual wield and that is yum yum for the prot paladin also in hellfire peninsula you've got the ravager nest on the path to tarot car those ravagers people might be collecting the eggs so you might be doing them a favor by aoe grinding there there's huge clusters of these and they've got really fast attack speeds and they actually run away from you surprisingly usually humanoids run but these ravagers are like i wanna live uh and then you kill them uh which makes them perfect for aoe grinding they run away and bring their friends it's always more fun when they bring their friends uh 61-63 hellfire peninsula the peninsula the great fisher stone scythe uh and you've got the alpha stone scythe whelp the stone scythe alpha and the stone scythe whelp mask that was actually kind of hard to say um they sometimes um become invulnerable like half health for a few hits and they enrage um but other than that they're not bad i would avoid the burrowers i don't know if you remember hellfire peninsula you've got these worms just crawling around try to avoid them because they're super annoying uh incredibly incredibly annoying they will shoot a ranged attack burrow move to different spot and shoot a ranged attack try to avoid those as much as you can 61-64 uh just south of the temple of tel uh telemat you've got a ton of bone stripper vultures like a ton dude you go to like the bones that they're around you can pull easily like 10 plus vultures these things are amazing you're going to find huge crowds of them and then when one dies other gets pulled from a good way away you could literally have a 10 or 15 minute pull like non-stop if uh if if it happens that way so it's fantastic uh level 65 to 68 head on over to nagrand uh the ancestral grounds fallen orcs are just prime time you've got tons of undead orcs with pretty decent loot tables and crystals for the repeatable quest and challah for an easy 10k rep every 10 crystals 10k experience excuse me it's 68 to 70 head on over to death's door and kill all the demons there is a ton there and then level 70 shadow moon valley demon hunter supplicants um those guys do like very little damage have not that much health and there are a ridiculous number of them and of course you're level 70. so now dungeons um you know go forth get the best gear that i listed out before and use that to start boosting um and you know like i mentioned if you're 70 you can go back to some of these grind spots like level 70 shadow moon valley demon hunter supplicants are going to drop tons of stuff you could probably get like at least 100 gold an hour just getting the uh scryer reputation tokens sun fury cygnets and you know what not uh you can also again start boosting you know go to go do stockades go do you know whatever whatever you want to do uh deadmines um you have the ability you have the best class for it um that's pretty much everything so hopefully you now have a better idea on why you should make an aoe paladin and how to do it what gear to go after what talents to do what buffs to get um i've laid it all out i know it's a ton of information so if you feel like you need to go back and refresh on something definitely feel free if you learned absolutely anything from this video i would love if you gave it a like that helps out tremendously subscribe if you want to see more videos like this let me know in the comment section below what you liked what you didn't like your opinions did i say did i miss an item that you think is better um and let me know your thoughts i'd love to hear from you guys so with that said guys i'll see you guys in the next video take care [Music] you

Good guide, but not sure I agree with the Vanilla / thorns items so much. Like Nagel & Razor Gauntles. Issue with "On attack" / "When struck" mods is that they dont trigger when you block/parry/dodge. The way to go is with max block & spelldamage. Replacing like Razor Gauntlet with https://tbcdb.com/?item=28518 and adding 2 SP gems, will definetly have more DPS output.

The title of the video is misleading. This is not a Tankadin guide, its a Boostadin guide.

I also hope that boosting will be purged by Blizz going into TBC. I don't want a flood of Paladins on every server just because they are the only class that can still boost.

And before the downvoters come crawling out of their basements: This is not a "Fun police" issue. Boosting isn't fun. It's ruining the game for everyone.

Consecration isn't affected by the aoe dmg cap.

[u/sdfsdfsdfdoifz]

Really good shit learned a lot - so much better than a lot of the other fluff posted here.

Seems like skullflame shield may not be worth that much after all considering the bis blue at lv62.

Also might want to incorporate ZF GY aoe farming from 42-54 if they haven't fixed it by TBC.

Not too sure about your emphasis on reckoning talent/hand of justice/fast weapon/flurry axe (reckoning only did 1.8% damage, hand of justice 1%, flurry axe 0.2%, compared to 45% from consecrate and even 9% from your shield spike -- 29:50 in the vid https://youtu.be/vEIg-qpF4AM?t=1793) and this was on a pretty small pull compared to what someone might be able to do on a 300+ mara pull. Raw stat wep or even a caster wep would probably be much better. I haven't played pally in tbc though so I may be missing something.

Thanks

edit: https://legacy-wow.com/tbc-talents/paladin-talents/?tal=3550002052013240035005005023500001000000000000000000000000000000 maybe something like this deep holy with 10% less consc cost, holy crits (bop then holy wrath), and 35% spell dmg scaling from total int. Sacrifices a lot of health but could be big damage.

sidenote: (not sure how aura mastery works in tbc, maybe you could conc aura/aura mastery/pop a big holy light on yourself, too)

[u/N1LEredd]

Could you maybe post a full spec? That was missing from the vid unless I missed it. Thanks a lot though!

How do you feel the recent scaling changes to skull flame shield / demon forged breastplate impact the viability of this spec? Looking forward to your opinion

[u/Einurdottir]

Toy could you recommend the standard protection paladin talent tree, for dungeon spamming, i just hitted level 60, i got a couple tanking pieces and i want to try prot.

thanks

[u/Luckydo97]

can you start aoe grinding at lvl 20 with concencrate and a shield spike?
