About the Paladin TBC Talent Calculator
Paladins undergo a dramatic transformation in The Burning Crusade, evolving from primarily Holy healers in Classic into a class where all three specs are raid-viable and highly desired. Protection Paladins become the undisputed kings of AoE tanking thanks to Consecration, Holy Shield, and Avenger's Shield — they trivialize heroic dungeon trash and many raid encounters. Holy Paladins remain the strongest single-target tank healers in the game, with Illumination providing unmatched mana efficiency on critical heals. Retribution Paladins finally earn their raid spot by bringing Crusader Strike, Sanctity Aura, and Judgement debuffs that amplify the entire raid's damage. Whether you are healing Black Temple, tanking Hyjal trash waves, or smashing faces in arena with a Shockadin build, your Paladin talent choices define your capability. Allocate your 61 talent points below.
