Do you want us to log onto your char and play him till you get to 70 too?

Really though, the reason you haven't gotten any responses is that you are asking for a TON of info.

Do us all a favor and do the research, look at the FAQ that's what it's there for. And while it doesn't tell you exactly what armor to get when and where, it does have useful info.


Since your first question is easy enough and doesn't require hours of compiling data in Alla, go ahead and do arathi to get the boots if you want to spend the time and effort to do so. If you don't then don't. It's that simple.

Capjack, you don't get to be a jaded grump until you are 2,000+ posts!

That being said farming the boots out of AB is a massive waste of time at lvl 40, no matter how horrible you are at world pvp. If you really are so poor that you need the speed increase (especially at lvl 40) then you are one of the few cases where I recommend you spec Pursuit of Justice. It is just as fast as the boots.

In terms of gear, keep it plate, keep it up to date. Don't spend copious amounts of time or gold on it since you are going to level out of it in a week.

Your ret build is ok, for you I'd recommend taking points out of Eye for an Eye and into PoJ. Relying on spell crits for small damage returns is a good waste of points while leveling. Your prot build is horrible. You won't be able to tank past a regular 5 man and you won't be able to heal past one either. Hell you won't even be able to tank/heal 5 mans all that well.

How are the boots a waste?
If you like to pvp then its time well spent. Plus, they are the best boots you can get at that level.

The talent points are too valuable to waste on PoJ. If you don't want to waste a day doing BGs then spend the gold for the speed enchant

The boots are a waste because he only wants them thinking they will somehow be a cure to his world PvP woes as he gets to 70.

It is not like he is going to be a twink.

Is taking a week off to farm the boots in AB worth it just so you level out of them in a week? Effort put in vs Value gained = *****. Simple theorycraft right there.

Yeah I had the PvP gear for a while, the boots, the bracers, and a couple other pieces that escape me right now. It was great while it lasted.

It really boils down to if you enjoy PvP or not, I did at those levels so I PvPd some to get what I wanted then moved on.

same here

I was being sarcastic, alluding to the fact that you were asking for so much info for your entire Paladin career, it might as well just be easier to logon to your account and play your char for you.




I have leveled 2 paladins from 1 to max level (1-60 pre-TBC, 1-70 post-TBC) I have a good idea on gear to get for specific slots. If you were asking for weapons or chest armor or whatever, I would have helped you. However, you were asking for items for every single slot and every single level range, thats a bit much tbh.



In page 2 of the FAQ it goes over gear choice in general terms. It doesn't mention specific items, but it does go over it depending on your build.

I also go over talent builds such as end-game tanking builds. I ALSO mention leveling builds.


Look, I'm sorry that I blew up at you, and I would help you if you were asking questions that I felt haven't already been covered in the FAQ. But they are covered in the FAQ. It just bugged me a bit that I spent a lot of time on that FAQ which covers or answers almost all of your questions, and now you are telling me that you read it and you're asking questions that are covered there.
