This is the call of the paladin: to protect the weak, to bring justice to the unjust, and to vanquish evil from the darkest corners of the world. These holy warriors are equipped with plate armor so they can confront the toughest of foes, and the blessing of the Light allows them to heal wounds and, in some cases, even restore life to the dead.

Ready to serve, paladins can defend their allies with sword and shield, or they can wield massive two-handed weapons against their enemies. The Light grants paladins additional power against the undead and demons, ensuring that these profane beings corrupt the world no longer.

Paladins are not only zealots, but also guardians of the righteous, and they bestow blessings on those the Light would shine upon. The Light radiates from paladins, and worthy allies who stand near them are emboldened by its power.

@Sorakume: you know honestly, I thought that was how you were suppose to make Death knights when the idea of "hero" classes came about. that a Hero class were the "ultimate" version of an existing class. So if you wanted a death knight you would have to level a paladin and then at a certain level you do an epic quest that will turn your paladin into a death knight. I was kinda bummed because I wanted their to be like some epic hero class "Templar" or something, but the "hero" class was a fallen paladin....So I thought I'd be the only paladin left on my server because I Didn't want to give up my paladin to make a death knight. Then I realized it just meant you started at 55. hahah I wayyy over thought that one.

@Ilfias: druids arnt acaly better they were meant to have more variety but be worse than the classes they coppy.
Login to rate
@Koronos: In normal instances Druids are little better or worse than Paladins. However once you start running heroics or raids they begin to show their true colors. In Heroics Druids are proxies for both tank and heals imo.

@Wise: well I think that where paladins lack as a hybrid class Druids shine. Such as Resto druids are better than healadins, but Tankadins are better than a bear XD

@Ilfias: thats because you've fought noobs. I can pwn mostly any hunter easily, for a pally like myself, rogues are the easiest, then comes druid then comes hunter in the order of how easy it is to kill each, hunters just need to be hit with seal of justice, repent, or hammer of justice and ur downed. all hunters do is run, making them vulnerable to up close combat which we can slow u down and disable you from attacking lol

i dnt think there the best kindove op if u ask me. They have a shield and heals like a priest. A angel like pet like a shaman. A variety of weapons like hunters. skills like a warrior i mean its a mix of some classes which makes it the best. same with druid . They take some skill but kids that are 12 can kill a really skilled hunter or warrior..
