Doh, male players

have to QFT this.

AoE grinding is incredibly fun. I went ret till level 40 then AoE grind my way to Outlands. Lv 50 is one of the best levels to AoE grind. Head to Sorrow Hill in Western Plague lands and just kill the packs of undead there. Gain about 4 levels just kill those packs of mobs and helps you acquire AD rep (not like you need it anyway)

When you reach level 40 spec reckoning and do aoe grinding. Here is a simple guide you can follow. Paladin aoe grinding. It have specs you can use while leveling, gears and grinding spot.

As mentioned by above poster the maintankadin forums is mainly catered to lvl 70 players who are planning to raid. So i think its not very useful to you at this point of play.

Basically with this spec you can easily solo 4 mobs 2 level higher then you and 6-8 mobs similar level as you with minimal down time. But you need some practice to get it right.

Pros
- Can kill alot simultaneously
- Hard to die
- Can tank instance to a certain extend

Cons
- Killing 1 mob will take as long as killing 6
- Bad against casters. This method works best on melee mobs.
- Big repair bill. I highly suggest you bring an extra shield.

Glad to have more prot pallies among us.

I have 3 Paladin.. Here is my experience with them :-)

One is Human Ret Paladin lvl 35 - I don't like it.. It spoiled my mood! I stopped leveling him at lvl 35 lol.. (Maybe I'm too inexperienced that time)

Second is Human Holy Paladin lvl 70 - I really leveled him from lvl 1-70 as holy lol, well it's a pain in the a$$ but I kinda like holy leveling, you just can't die, but dps is average cause you get only +sta +int gear, don't bother with str, it's useless for leveling, even for ret imo..

Third is BE Prot Paladin lvl 48 - I leveled him as ret, but yeah, you have high damage, but if you got other dps class b4, you will feel that the Seal of Command proc is very frustrating to see, I rather use Seal of Righteous.. By the time you at lvl 40, it's good to spec Prot, yeah the damage is not low actually, just that it hit fast with low dps, but I still like see my block damage + reckoning proc, more fun.. I actually tanked RFD without healer at lvl 42, I use Seal of Light + JoL, yes we did all bosses (we 4-man it) with me healing myself with that seal and tanking at the same time (u must use a 1hand weapon with speed below 2 second, 1.5 sec if the best, don't worry if it's not blue, even a lower level sword with 1.5 speed can serve u for another 10 level) At lvl 45, I killed 10-15 murlocs at the same time at Dustwallow with more coming to me when they run away for backup, and I'm got 75% hp left with them all dead.. It really fun to see them died hitting me lol..

So Prot is the way to go for leveling till you're a GEM at 70's

Cheers
