For a long time, the Paladin class was only specific for the Alliance players.
When the Burning Crusade expansion came out, Horde players were introduced to this wonderful class and were able to role a Paladin.
The only race with the Horde that could role a Paladin is the Blood Elf race while for the Alliance a Paladin could be rolled by Humans, Dwarfs and also the newly introduced race - the Draenei.
Paladins are considered to be one of the hybrid classes since they could be healers, melee dpsers and tanks as well.
Being able to change your build or combine it is a great advantage and will make your game play with a Paladin even more fun! When it comes to tanking, Paladins are highly valued for their ability to tank multiple targets (AoE tanking).
If you choose to play a Paladin tank, you will need to make a good build using the Protection tree.
If you choose to become a Paladin healer your talent points will need to go on the Holy tree.
Paladin may not be the best healer but he can still be on top of the healing meter since his heals are fast.
A Paladin doesn't have HoT spells (Healing Over Time) and his healing is mainly based on flash heals therefore his gear needs to be rich in critical strike rating and spell power.
Retribution Paladins are good melee DPSers and for a long time they were only PvP oriented.
However, with the Wrath of the Lich King expansion even the Retri Paladins are more than welcome in raids and instances.
Paladins are famous for their blessings which are very useful for the raid members but also highly valued in PvP.
Blessing of Might (BoM) gives the party members additional attack power and therefore feral druids, rogues, dps warriors and hunters love it.
They also have Blessing of Wisdom which gives mp5 (Mana Per 5 Seconds) and is preferred by the healers and Blessing of Kings (BoK) which enhances all stats by 10%.
BoK is basically the most favorite blessing of all since any class can have a good use of it especially tanks.
Similar to Priests, Paladins can also dispel and resurrect the dead party members.
One of the most famous spells Paladins are famous for is "the bubble".
With this spell a Paladin can shield himself from any harm and become immune to any kind of damage spell cast towards him.
When it comes to armor Paladins wear plate which is the strongest armor in the game.
Unlike Warriors and Death Knights Paladins need mana and they are depended on it no matter if they choose to be tanks, healers or melee damage dealers and therefore their gear needs to have intellect and mp5.
Crit is also very important for them since they will get mana back each time their spells crit which also made Paladins famous for their never ending mana regeneration.
In PvE, choosing the role of a Paladin will surely bring you loads of fun since you can change your build any time you feel like it and you will be appreciated for any build that you play.
In PvP, with the right kind of gear healing and melee dps Paladins also rule and are highly appreciated.
