Races & Racials

Human is the most popular race for Holy Paladin at 66%, followed by Dwarf (14%) and Blood Elf (8%).

Human at 66% usage is a clear favorite, largely thanks to Will to Survive, which removes all stun effects, acting as a PvP trinket on a 3-minute cooldown.

Dwarf players bring Stoneform, which removes poison, disease, curse, magic, and bleed effects while reducing physical damage taken.

Gear Strategy
