Holy Paladins and PvP
I have never really pvp'd regularly on my paladin, but, being asked by some guildmates, have decided to start pvp'ng regularly with them. However, I am sort of at a loss about what I should be focusing on, what gear I should work on procuring to better support my teammates, or what strategies work when dealing with each class.
So.... I would like some advice / suggestion on playing my Holy paladin as best as I can to help the team be successful. I am looking for help regarding: 1. Gear to work on procuring first (and why) 2. Strategy vs. each class (do’s and don’ts, basically) I am probably one of a few pvpers that actually HEAL in battlegrounds, so understand that to be a given. I appreciate any constructive advice. Regards, |

No PvPers around here, eh? :( |
I know I'm going to get yelled at for this but, paladin's aren't very good for PvP.
my two cents. |
They're great in arenas. A plate wearing healer with a bubble?

Yeah, yeah.... I've heard the whole "lol"adin thing before. Not needed, requested, or required here.
Some solid information/advice would be nice though. |
As a holy paladin, do what you are supposed to do, even in BGs:
HEAL WHATEVER YOU CAN! There's not much more to do.... just try your best to keep your mates alive. I tell you, they will be gladful if they have at least someone around who keeps them alive. There are just a few more things to do, like buffing Blessing of Freedom on the Flag Carrier in Warsong, but you main objective is HEALING... like it always is. ;) Quote:

as for strategy for holy paladins, i recommend the arena gear aswell as alot of resillience gear (but dont let resillience take away to much +healing or stamina) i don't use resillience gear myself and i do notice it from time to time, but if you play it right (which alliance side on our server (aggramar eu) does SO often if its pug) then its easy. I use a combination of T4(mostly, still) and some T5 and khara gear (not set) so i got stamina and plenty mana (8k hp unbuffed, almost 11k mana unbuffed) and keep the biggest range i can (i dont pvp for gear, i do it for fun :) ) This way locks cant get to me and only rogues can get up to me (which makes it easy to yell ROGUE or DRUID and get backup) |
It's a shame that paladins can have every spell-based attack effectively shut down (unless you are Retribution-specc'd) with ease. :(
So what about getting the more easily obtainable PvP gear vs. Tier 4 and Arena gear? The Tier 4 and Arena is better, to be sure, but, if I get a lot of honor and tokens outside of Arena, should I get the armor pieces, or focus more on rings/trinkets/neck/weapons? |
I reckon as holy you could do pretty well in warsong... Running with flags I mean... Concentration aura on along with 70% pushback resistance from talents makes healing while being beaten highly possible, and with freedom on yourself and Sacrifice on a mate that gets beaten all the time you can stand against most CCs and snares :D
Not counting the DI'ed self-shocks heal great when you get low and a interrupt-crazy rogue is near! |
