Hey Gwen,
Didnt know what to choose when i started to play WOW. Didnt even know the game... so a real noob !
Just chose the paladin because i played a paladin in others games...
I am glad though, mainly because of the healing powers and the "tanking" ability of the character. You can be both in different parties.
When playing alone the healing is very handy, no need for potions, just some meat and drinks and i'll be okay
I am building the retribution talent tree because of the striking power, but i also put in some talent points in the other two (holy and protection).
At the moment (lvl 63) i am still experimenting with different seals and judgements in combination with spells.
For me it all depends in what quest i need the different combinations, so i got them all ready in an extra action bar to use.
By the way, i am thinking about staring a DK to... or a hunter (because of the pet). But i think i will play my paladin first to lvl 80 before doing so, i am afraid i wont play Bink anymore if i like the others to much... I do want some advice in the DK departement though ! So, cool topic to discuss the characters !
