Hey guys, today if I would like to talk about one class in Wrath of the Lich King Classic which is definitely booming in every aspect, it must be a Paladin. Its three specs are viable in any raids and any content.
Protection Paladin has the biggest improvement must sweeps out Warrior off. As a main tank in the raid, Protection Paladin plays an important role even on low gear level due to some awesome cooldowns and talents. DK tank is a league of its own, but Protection Paladin rises in WOTLK from being an AOE tank. Now that paladins are no longer relying on spell power items to dish out threats and damage, it can do much more.
Retribution Paladin as my favorite melee spec in tbc has improved, and it's quite decent in WOTLK. They performance is very well with more haste and crit especially in the end game, they will be doing nice damage in the beginning, however more or less Frost DKs will do better. What makes me happy about Retribution Paladin is that Seal Twisting is a thing of the past, and Retribution Paladin now has a proper identity with rework spells and kept its rate utility along with cooldowns.
Just like any paladin spec I think it's important to know that they do some off-healing while dealing damage, both themselves and others around themselves are quite hard to deal with in pvp.
Still Holy Paladins I won't say much, because I believe they are popular and just a stronger single target healer throughout the expansion, however with Holy Light costing a bit over 1000 mana you might find yourself struggling with mana. After reaching a huge amount of intellect, the rotation will be a little annoying, the amount of spells used will increased so it will be harder to play for many players choosing holy paladins as their main.
So do I think there will be a lot of Paladins in MOTLK? Yes definitely, Protection, Retribution and Holy alike will be all popular throughout the expansion. The amount of rework spells for paladins is huge starting with blessings, there is a reduced amount of it to the point where you almost don't even have to use a pally power, but please do still. Same goes for seals, the biggest change being taking out the entire seal of the crusader and some others along with some blessings were converted into hand spells.
