Paladins in Classic
Paladin’s are exclusive to the Alliance in World of Warcraft: Classic that means you can’t make a Blood Elf or Tauren Paladin on the Horde. However, during Classic/Vanilla Paladin’s had a counterpart in the Horde Shaman. Here is what makes Paladin’s unique:
- Healer that uses Plate Armor
- Auras which can buff themselves and Allies.
- Unique Buffs for different Situations
- Can Summon a Class Mount
- Can be a Healer, Tank, or DPS
Paladins are unique in they get class specific mount at level 40 and 60 through a quest. This is beneficial in two ways, one it frees up bag space as mounts take up space, and two it is acquired via Class Quest. The Level 40 mount Summon Warhorse is free via the quest, while the level 60 epic version Summon Charger is a longer quest chain and costs a significant amount of gold.
Paladin Tier Sets
World of Warcraft: Classic brings back Tier Sets and their original glory. Each Class has there own unique set and takes time and RNG to get them.
