Due to the original thread disappearing under mysterious circumstances, here is a re-post of the Paladin Specs post by Ginmungo:

Paladin Specs

After noticing people wanting to know what specs they can spec at 70 etc. I decided to make a paladin specs thread so people can see what some people use and people could add their ideas and specs.

I m going to list some common know specs and then some of specs I used which are usually variations of common know specs. I will also put some comments below them to tell you the advantages of that spec.

Heres are some Common know specs:-

Paladin Spec Builds


Standard Tankadin build (00/49/12)
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=qZVhtIx0dggqzVbx
This is a pretty started Tank spec. Gives you nice def and agro management and with the 12 in retri gives more parry, imp judge and reduce mana cost on seals


Healbot(41/20/00)
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=sVxuMxzhektVMphMc
This is a tipcial healbot spec, you will last long enough to pvp healing effeicently

Retrinoob(20/00/41)
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=qExhMZZxf0tMcuVsot(the stuff taken in retri vaires on persnal chooice)
This is a common retri spec, nice dmg and abit of healing help

Reckconing experience(00/27/34)
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=qZxGkhMh0gZVf0tMcuV0s
This is for someone with enough dmg and stamina to get reck procs.

Smiter spec(40/00/21)
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=sVEhMxz0eoxZVfszMcz
This is nice as long as you have some nice +dmg. You will be able to crit 2k or over with enough +dmg and pvp heal at the same time

Hybrid holy/retri(41/00/20)
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=qVEhMxzheotZVfot
This is for someone that wants to heal but has some melee choices to dmg.

Holy Shock/vegeance spec aka Gin's Holy Retri Hybrid (31/00/30)
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=qxxuMxzhxoZZxf0tMcuV
I think this could work only if you collect loads of retri gear and stack loads of spell dmg enchants on it. It would give you some nice melee dmg with holy shock as back up dmg ^^


Here are some variation Holy/Retri hybrids

Holy PvP (44/00/17)
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=sxEuMxz0esxZVbjzM

Non Sanctity aura spec (43/00/18)
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=sVEhMxz0eoxZVfszMcz

Gin's Arena/pve healing spec (43/18/00)
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=sVxuMgzhektVGzu0c


Here are some Tankadin Variations:-

Tankadin Hybrid (10/41/10)
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=aVxZV0tug0dgMqzV0x
Nice and simple Tanking spec, you get maxium def and threat control.having 10 in holy for iff you need to off heal someone before taking agro

Imp str/Intellect Tankadin (10/51/00)
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=aEVZVhtIM0dggqz
[Edit] Been told that having any more than that in holy is piontless for tanking so put 5 into imp stun and guardians favor. The Imp intellect and str is there for people who don't have it because of gear having more def stats


Retribution Spec variations:-

Protection/retribution spec(00/20/41)
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=qZxGkhMhZxbetM0ui0ot


Here are some new ones / Specs i use:-

Blessing of Kings Retrinoob(9/11/41)(a paladin i know on bb has this)
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=qxLZxGzZVf0tMcuVsot
This is a variation of a retrinoob spec, this is for people who have abit low stats.

Zalagradis Experience(00/31/30)
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=qZVGzIMhzg0oZxfItM0zV
This is the closet spec you can get to the Zalagradis pvp movies 1-3 spec.
Gives you a very deffencive playstyle not the easliest spec to play, you need loads of stamina to pull of this spec.

[Edit]
I tried the Zalgradis type spec and it just didn't work for lv 70 because everyone health and dmg has been increased so much you can grind people down with holy shield and reck. warriors can nuke you so fast now its nasty.
I think since Zal's videos were made they nerf the base Defenceness from paladins and made it so that people specing down to holy shield can be too offencive

Its a shame that a zalgradis style play can be done anymore Sad.


My own specs


Gin's Arena Healbot(40/21/00)
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=sVxuMxzheshVMthMc
This is my fav healing spec for arenas, you can stay alive well and heal well.

Gin's smiter spec (40/00/21)
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=qVEu0xz0eshZVfjzM0z

Gin's Retrinoob (9/10/42)
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=axLZVGZxbhtMcuicot
When i get more crit i will put the points from imp SoCr to Imp Judgement

Ginmungo's Holynoob Smiter(34/27/00)
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=aVEhMxzoxoZVGzuMhzg
This is a spec lauran made one day when, he was playing my paladin and this is one of my fav specs. Gives you stability and offence capabilitys. You can do nice dmg with recks and seals and healing quite well.

This is a nice raiding healbot spec so that you have imp wisdom and might. also you have kings so if you get asked to do any blessing your fine.

Ancilorn

With the launch of 3.1 and the class mechanics receiving a large overhaul, many of the guides we have had listed are now outdated. We’ve opened up a new sticky, linked below, which will catalogue all guides and places of interest for the most up to date version of World of Warcraft.

Paladin Guides & Useful Links

If fancy your hand at drawing up some up-to-date Paladin guides, or have seen one within the forum which is worthy of a mention, then be sure to bring it to our attention by reporting it for ‘Sticky Request’ using the Biohazard symbol on the post in question.
