Paladin Alliance Race question.Follow

Yes, I have read the FAQ, but I am wanting opinions.

I am planning on doing Retribution til my upper 20s (maybe switch earlier) and then go Prot.

I do not plan on raiding at L.70.

I play WoW because it is fun, I dont play it to stress out over raids and raid times.

I have five L.70s and I have decided I need to start my Alliance Paladin.

I know the alliance races that can be a Paladin, but I would like to know why YOU choosed the race you picked.

In the past I thought people played humans Paladins because they didnt care, and others choosed Dwarves because they didnt want to be humans.
I already have three four Draenei characters, and I have indeed played human and dwarf characters in the past.

So any input on why you picked who you picked might make me think out of my confined box.

Humans - 10% extra rep (default race for many, IMO.)
Dwarves - Stoneskin/10% armor right? (I have yet to find a good looking dwarf model)
Draenei - Gift of the Naaru, and the extra rep they seem to get. (I have three Draeneis already... do I really want a fourth fifth?)


Any help or constructive criticism is much needed, Thanks!

I agree. I went human, but this was my first toon ever so...

I love the rep gain, it's nice espically when I get higher for other stuff. But I'm a prot pally, and stoneskin could be really nice...

I would go dwarf if i were you.... maybe ugly, but it makes the already hard to kill pally even harder.

Since when did Paladins get Shieldwall??? I think I need to download that patch!

I like Dwarves.

The Frost resist is a minor help versus Frost effects, the Stoneskin removes effects against Rogues and the armor is moderate.


The most obvious Paladin choice is unfortunately Blood Elf.

The rep bonus for humans is great once you reach 70 and have to start the rep grind but IMO Drae all the way, I have 6 of them now.

I picked a Human Pali... I didnt want to be a dwarf and the draenai weren't an option until recently.

I was thinking of making a Female Pali from the draenai because I hate how the males look and wanted to have a HoT option... then again I could make a warrior and have that (which would be more helpful)

Hope that helped...

Basically asthetics is everything. I hate how the Male draenai look and thus I cannot bring myself to lvl my shaman anymore.

I picked a human female paladin for RP reasons. I have kind of a backstory for all my characters and I needed a class to go with one of the characters when I rolled her.
