Best Cataclysm Paladin Leveling Spec Overview:
If you are a newbie at paladin leveling, here is a quick tutorial of how to distribute your talents in order to level up as quickly as possible with the best Cataclysm Paladin leveling spec for WoW 4.3.4 going forward:
Levels 10-19:
3/3 Crusade
2/2 Improved Judgement
1/2 Pursuit of Justice
Crusade boosts up damage and Improved Judgement gives Retribution Paladins a great ranged attack option. Pursuit of Justice cuts down leveling time a good amount by increasing your movement speed.
Levels 20-29:
2/2 Pursuit of Justice (was already at 1/2 from last level)
3/3 Rule of Law
1/1 Communion
Rule of Law is a large damage boost to your Crusader Strike. Communion is awesome because it increases your damage by 5% outright and improves your mana regeneration to boot.
Levels 30-39:
1/1 Divine Storm
2/2 Long Arm of the Law
1/3 The Art of War
1/1 Seals of Command
Divine Storm does deal lesser damage than Templar’s Verdict does against a single target, but is better for fighting groups because of the AoE damage. The Art of War is another good talent which we will max out shortly.
I like 2/2 in Long Arm of the Law talent because you can use it to increase movement speed between mobs. It might not seem like much to you, but that speed boost will save you a lot of time – In fact, much more time than you could make up for by jacking up your damage dealt. Trust me, this belongs as part of the best Cataclysm Paladin leveling spec.
Seal of Command increases your damage by about 5 percent and gives you another AoE attack when using Seal of Righteousness. This is another important talent to have with your Paladin leveling spec.
Levels 40-49:
1/1 Sanctity of Battle
1/1 Rebuke
3/3 The Art of War (This is where we max this out, finally)
1/1 Repentence
Sanctity of Battle will have more and more benefits as your gear gets better. Rebuke helps reduce the amount of damage you take from spellcasters and gives you a good interrupt ability. The Art of War increases your damage dealing capabilities and Repentence is a good crowd control talent that will make questing a bit smoother.
Levels 50-59:
2/2 Divine Purpose
3/3 Sanctified Wrath
Both of these abilities increase your damage output capabilities.
Selfless Healer or Inquiry of Faith just don’t help your leveling spec. You will not be healing other people when soloing quests and you will not be using Seal of Truth when trying to level. You do not get Inquisition until level 81 which makes Inquiry of Faith not at all helpful.
Levels 60-69:
3/3 Inquiry of Faith
1/2 Eye for an Eye
1/1 Zealotry
Inquiry of Faith is much more helpful when you reach level 81 when you get Inquisition. Eye for an Eye is another filler talent which will increase your damage a bit.
Zealotry is actually a pretty good talent and can boost your burst damage, especially when used in conjunction with Avenging Wrath.
Levels 70-79:
3/3 Judgements of the Pure
2/3 Seals of the Pure
The up side of both of these talents is plain to see. The haste granted by Judgements of the Pure stacks well with Sanctity and Seals of the Pure is a nice damage boost.
Levels 80-85:
3/3 Seals of the Pure (from 2/3 last tier)
2/2 Eternal Glory
2/2 Improved Hammer of Justice
Improved Hammer of Justice is big time for Retribution Paladins; a 6 second stun every 40 seconds is awesome. Eternal Glory seems pretty god to me; this is a inexpensive instant heal and Retribution Paladins can certainly use more Holy Power.
I was leveling about 3 times faster after watching the video just below here. Zygor’s has the best in-game WoW leveling guides and is a must have. I use this guide to level my toons at lightning speeds. Get all your tunes to level 85 before “Mists of Pandaria” is released! Click the link below the videos for a special promotional 40% off. This is the #1 purchased leveling guide on WoW for a reason.
Haven’t seen enough yet? Here is the latest video with must see information about the upgrades made to the new WoW guides





Hi there!
Kevin here, thanks for stopping by my site on paladin leveling. I live in the northern US and have been playing WOW for about 3+ years now. I have played many different classes in that time and have tried many different guides and specs for those classes. My paladin was actually my second character I built and still one of my most favorite characters to play (especially PVP). I hope you find the information here useful in your efforts to level up your paladin. If you wish to email me, click on the contact me tab.
Healthy and speedy leveling to you, fellow paladins!!
