Holy Paladin Leveling Guide From 1 to 80 for WotLK Classic

Move the slider below to make the guide update to your level!

Your first talent unlocks at Level 10.

1. Levels 10 to 14 — 5 points in Seals of the Pure
2. Levels 15 to 19 — 5 points in Divine Intellect

Divine Intellect increases your Intellect by a scaling percentage per point, topping out at 10%. This vastly increases your Mana pool, letting you fight for longer and lessen downtime between mobs. Seals of the Pure increases the damage done by both your Seal of Righteousness attacks, as well as when you unleash it with your Judgement ability. Seal of Righteousness will be the seal you use primarily while leveling either in a group or solo.

1. Levels 20 to 22 — 3 points in Healing Light
2. Levels 23 to 24 — 2 points in Improved Lay on Hands
3. Levels 25 to 29 — 5 points in Illumination

Healing Light is a flat healing increase to your Holy Light and Flash of Light, which will make up almost all of your healing. Improved Lay on Hands drastically reduces the cooldown of Lay on Hands, which is a powerful cooldown that you can both use reactively or in a time-sensitive situation where you are running low on Mana but need healing. Illumination gives a chance for critical heals to return 60% their Mana cost. At max rank, with 5 points, it is a 100% chance to return Mana when your healing spells crit.

1. Level 30 — 1 point in Divine Favor
2. Levels 31 to 32 — 2 points in Improved Blessing of Wisdom
3. Levels 33 to 34 — 2 points in Sanctified Light
4. Levels 35 to 39 — 5 points in Holy Power

Divine Favor, when active, will make your next Holy Light or Flash of Light crit. This synergizes extremely well with the previous talent, Illumination. Improved Blessing of Wisdom increases the Mp5 you gain from the Blessing of Wisdom buff. This is both extremely beneficial to you as it will lower your downtime between mobs and make it so you can participate longer in fights, but if you are leveling with any other Mana users, it will have the same benefits for them. Sanctified Light increases your crit chance with Holy Light. Holy Power increases your crit chance with all Holy abilities.

1. Level 40 — 1 point in Holy Shock
2. Level 41 to 43 — 3 points in Light's Grace
3. Level 44 — 1 point in Sanctified Light
4. Level 45 to 49 — 5 points in Holy Guidance

Holy Shock is an extremely powerful heal or damaging spell, depending on if you are targeting a friendly or hostile unit. It does considerable healing and damage and has a relatively short cooldown, but costs quite a bit of Mana, so using it on cooldown is not recommended. Light's Grace causes your Holy Light to grant you a buff reducing the cast speed of your next Holy Light. Holy Guidance increases your spell damage and healing by a percentage of your total Intellect, making both your damaging abilities and your heals more potent.

1. Level 50 — 1 point in Divine Illumination
2. Levels 51 to 55 — 5 points in Judgements of the Pure
3. Levels 56 to 57 — 2 points in Enlightened Judgements
4. Levels 57 to 59 — 2 points in Infusion of Light

Divine Illumination is a strong cooldown that greatly reduces the Mana costs of all of your spells. Judgements of the Pure greatly increases the damage dealt by your seals and judgement abilities, while Enlightened Judgements gives us considerably more Hit rating.

1. Level 60 — 1 point in Beacon of Light
2. Levels 61 to 65 — 5 points in Divine Strength
3. Level 66 to 67 — — 2 points in Guardian's Favor
4. Level 67 to 70 — 3 points in Stoicism

Guardian's Favor greatly lessens the cooldown of your Hand of Freedom and Protection, which have strong uses both in parties or solo.

1. Level 71 to 75 — 5 points in Toughness
2. Levels 76 to 78 — 3 points in Improved Righteous Fury
3. Level 79 to 80 — — 2 points in Improved Hammer of Justice

1. Keep Seal of Righteousness up.
2. Use Consecration on cooldown for more than 1 target, if you have the Mana.
3. Use Judgement on cooldown if you have the Mana for it.
4. Use Holy Shock on cooldown offensively, as Mana allows.
5. Use Hammer of Wrath on cooldown.
6. Melee.
