A Good Pally build?

[xodkrm]

Since theres been that buff to the pally in the last patch, i started a human pally. The only problem is that i dont know any builds for it. Ive tried googling "pally build wow" but nothing useful camup...
Any help or hints for playing a pally in appreciated.

The trick is to first level up to get to your talents. Sure, it sounds like a 'no duh,' but in reality, you get the feel for the build and what you enjoy.

From there, look at your moves that you currently have, and think about it a while, asking yourself "Do I like this move?" and "What does it contribute?" as well as "Would I want to do this for the rest of the game?"

Once you reach level 10 and get your first talent point, go into your tree chart. Look at *all* the talents. Not just the first levels, and not just the final 'superior' tier talents. Everything. If you do this on a class, you'll instantly see strengths and weaknesses. Druids, although Moonkin form looks nifty and all, as well as the massive armor boost and cool 3% crit spells... Kind of lacks a lot. Expecially seeing as how the balance tree is very shoddy and needs worked on again, in my eyes. I've respeced to play Moonkin just to get the feel for it. Didn't work well. Mana whoring, as well as only mediocre damage. Compared to a non-speced Mage, who can only use half the mana we do, and get the same kill.

In any event, don't look at the one talent at the end, nor all the talents at the beginning. Find the tree that has the most of what you want. If you see more than one thing, figure which one is better for YOUR style, and go from there.

Once you get there, try it out. If you don't like it, respec and learn. Simple ;)

Respeccing gets expensive. Really. It does. First its 1g, then 5g, then 10g, and so on. EXPENSIVE.

All to expensive, I just forked out 20g for another rebuild.
I think I'm happy with this one though.
There are just so many damn talents to try, what choice is there really, never going to get my epic mount at this rate.

I'm up to 25g for my respec now on my Druid. Yet I don't have money problems. Got my first mount paid, got about 10g set aside, and I still give out minor loans to friends.

You just gotta know which mobs to kill, which quests to take, and be tolerant of grinds, as well as green item hunts in lowbie areas for DE's. Gets you mats to sell for prices, gets you sellables, and you take very little wear and tears, since you can one and two shot most lowbie things.

my advice to you is do not play a paladin...

unless you like to be a priest in plate

oh well. heres the spec i would use to lvl up a paladin

start down the ret tree first to get the most damage potential seal a paladin has, SoC

move onto holy after those points in ret has been spent

lastly finish off the prot tree with good all rounder BoK


of course if you happen to get to 60 this spec wont do

The cost mainly is only a problem if you respec a lot early on (which I did) or if you need a LOT of money for an epic mount or a really good craftable item (which I do).

I also have to say don't play a paly. Unless you don't intend on doing pvp. In which case, still don't play a paly. The paladin's job is to not die, more so than protecting others, its to protect himself. If you wanted to selflessly keep others alive, you would have rolled a priest, especially since they can also do insane pvp as shadow spec.

Whatever you play, the best place for advice on all and anything that has to do with your class is the official WoW message boards. Specifically, the one about your class. While there are a lot of annoying people, there are also many smart people, and many with very interesting and new ideas. If you're new to a class, read the Sticky posts, since they're usually moderated, and if not, the first post is always worth reading, no matter how long it is.
