This is extremely subjective, as there is no “best” way to level up. In grinding from 1 - 70, you will be discovering every nuance of the Paladin class, and some methods will work better for you than otherswow power leveling. Other than that, there are basically 2-methods of leveling up for a paladin. Single-Target(Can be used from 1 - 70 effectively) The idea for this is putting out as much single-target damage as possible. In order to do that, you will be looking for either a ret/holy or holy/ret build, the key talents to grab are Seal of Command and Spiritual Focus. SoC will greatly increase your dps, making almost every other hit as if you got a crit, which by itself is capable of critting. Spiritual Focus will make sure that you can survive without worrying about getting interrupted by casting. After getting those talents, any path up holy or ret is a good idea to help maximize your damage and/or survivabilitywow power leveling. For gear, grab as much str and sta as possible, think warrior. Get a nice heavy 2-hander and start pounding away. An option for Holy Paladins once they get into Outlands is to start a shockadin build. This does require a good amount of mana, and is more focused on spell damage. Outlands has a good amount of Plate spell damage gear, so stacking that up, using a shield and one-hander, and using SoR, JoR and Holy Shock to kill can be another viable option. Multiple-Target/AOE Grinding(Should be started around 35 - 70) The idea for this is that a Paladin can become a porcupine and survive a lot. It may take a few pulls in a certain area to figure out your limit, but the idea is to be able to reflect as much damage as possible to all your enemies, and to survive through them pounding you. In order to pull off this attempt to level, a protection spec must be chosen, and you must use a shield. A shield spike, Retribution Aura, Blessing of Sanctuary, and Holy Shield are all methods of inflicting damage to any enemy that attacks youpower leveling. Judge seal of wisdom on your current mob and pull up Seal of Light, this will keep both your mana and health topped off with those mobs beating on you. For increased survivability, throw 10 points into Holy to get Spiritual Focus, allowing you to heal uninterrupted. Throwing out Consecration every now and then if mana allows can help speed up the process. This approach to leveling really takes more skill than the single-target, however it is very good practice if you plan on tanking end-game.
