Holy paladin for leveling? xD

[marek451]

So, what do you guys think? How long would it take and generally, is it gonna be a lot longer than going for retribution?

not sure why you'd handicap yourself?

are you talking 1-80 or what?

just go ret or prot.

With decent spell power it can work, but not before holy shock, until then its a serious pain and not worth the "bonus" of being in a dungeon group.

If dungeons are your concern, then just go prot, its pretty similar to ret for a few level, after that prot is better in aoe and ret better at single target, either way, not holy.

Even full heirloomed holy paladins have issues, until holy shock, but keep in mind that is with crapton of heirlooms...

Bottom line: you will waste A LOT of time for simple things.

Does it work? Sure, but by the time you're level 20 you could be 40 with another spec...

Don't level as Holy, trust me.
