It would be very difficult to say all there is to say about paladin in a few paragraphs. This is one of the most versatile of classes and it would take a much longer world of warcraft guide on paladins than this one to cover all there is not know about paladins. But hopefully you will get a good idea from this article about what it takes to be a paladin.
Paladins are a unique class that could be described as being a hybrid mix of warriors, priests and other dps classes like warlocks and mages.
While they can be best described as a hybrid class due to the fact that they display traits peculiar to those classes, the paladin uses those "borrowed" traits in a very powerful way. Some would say in a far too powerful and unfair way. At PvP they very easily hold their own and most classes find them hard to beat. They are nicknamed holy warriors as they fight like warriors but can also heal themselves like priests and druids and like warriors they can wear the hardest armour of all: plate.
So Paladins specialize as tanks by having in one of their abilities tree called the "Protection Tree" spells and learned talents which enables them to both take and give enormous damage to and from several enemies at once. Special spells here include "Holy Shield", "Retribution", and "Consecration" which all add up to give the Paladin well sought after tanking abilities which for some raids and instances are far superior to that of any other class.
One of the other two trees available to Paladins is the "Retribution" tree from which paladins can pick spells and abilities that allow them to deal lots of DPS or close combat "melee" damage against the enemies they are fighting against. Here such spells like "Crusader Strike" and "Seal of Command" allow the paladin to be a class that is very useful during raids.
The third ability is that of the Holy Warrior. From here they can draw from a range of spells that bestows and improves their healing power. Their healing speciality is to be able to give heals to different players in the game or their group. And also, since they can fight like warriors, they can heal themselves while fighting making them more resilient than warriors. This really does make them the most versatile class for group play where they are equally comfortable at taking the place of the Priest to heal or the place of warriors to tank. A good group will always have a paladin to back up either class or take over when need be.
So there you have it, whether you fancy yourself as a healing priest, or a tank raging warrior or a DPS expert like a Mage or Shaman, there is no need to start up one of these classes when a Paladin does all three things at once. Also, this is a class that in WoW is highly effective in groups and ideal for all the end game activities like raids and large instances where the services of paladins are highly rated. - 15634
