let's get started:
Holy - Obvious choice for shockadin since the name comes from holy shock (31 talent in holy tree)
  • 0/5 Divine Strength, 5/5 Divine intellect - Focus comes from Spell Damage so you need the 10% int, Str make your melee go up, but if you want Divine str, you should be doing ret build.
  • 3/5 Spiritual Focus, 5/5 Improved Seal of Righteousness - Main judgements will be coming from this seal, so it's obvious you want it maxed out. 3/5 into the other since while healing will be important, it should not be a priority.
  • 3/3 Healing Light, 1/1 Consecration, 0/2 Improved Lay on Hands, 2/2 Unyielding Faith - If your going to heal at all, you want the healing light maxed out so you get the most out of it. Consecration is obvious for the AOE, With Improved Lay on hands can be VERY useful, I feel for PvP it not something to be priority. Lastly 2/2 Unyielding Faith is useful even for 10%, however if you feel Spiritual focus is better suited, feel free to swop out the Talents.
  • 5/5 Illumination, 0/2 Improved Wisdom - Illumination is a must have for the Holy Shock ability, Imp Wisdom is not a prio, you still can use wisdom, plus if you have a pvp healadin in your raid they already (most likely) have imp wisdom which eliminates your need to have it.
  • 1/1 Divine Favor, 0/3 lasting judgements - Divine Favor, required for Holy Shock plus an awesome ability, Lasting Judgements are not a prio in pvp imo
  • 5/5 Holy Power - 5% spell crit is needed for shockadins.
  • 1/1 Holy Shock - The ability is 30 sec CD which is for Offense/Defense. Awesome Ability in PvP!

The last build is a personal favorite of a friend of mine who currently uses r13 gear (previous private server). Feel free to add your own opinions, comments, complaints, suggestions, just keep the trolling to a min plz.


I had this previously in an older post. I wanted to get more into depth with it for a PvP enjoyment.

Was wanting to see what the Nost Paladin Community had to say for those wanting to also have some fun with shockadins.
Got any gear suggestions, Talent Builds, Offense/Defense Strategies. (post comments below.)

Unless you pickup the new Blue PvP armour, then I'm afraid Shockadin just isn't valid atm on Nostalrius as that is the only Plate gear with +spell dmg on it currently.

T2 Judgement has nothing but +Healing on it and zero STR and zero Spell dmg

Lots of Str and SP on T2. Are those stats on the db wrong?

Paladins, their spells/abilities and their tier gear changed so fucking much over the course of Vanilla that it was hard to keep track of everything that got switched.

it may be a fun spec, but ultimately its inferior for serious pvp. paladins are best holy and supporting, they throw the most weight around that way, being defensive not offensive.

big holy shock crits on people with poor gear is fun for awhile.

Shockadin is holy...No one said you cant be defensive and offensive...

The post I made had nothing of that, so don't assume this was only made to be only as offense, and that you only would have crap gear.

Just stick to the topic, not assumptions please.
