Re: Earl's F2P Paladin Guide
It was a good mix back in Cata because Prot's would get SP and mana from Int. Now all hybrids have the same amount of mana and because of Guarded by the Light you only get SP from AP. Holy Gear is useless on a Prot now because you gain nothing from the Int. Even the SP maces don't actually give any SP to Prot's.

Re: Earl's F2P Paladin Guide Gear
Hi!
I have made several f2p twinks the past year, and every time i get to lvl 20, i go to thottbot (Yes, im one of those who still likes thottbot most.) and take an hour or two to write down a check list of all the best gear and weapons aviable for me. It always feels like a big waste when i delete everything, so this time i was thinking that i could post this here so that maybe somebody else could get some use of the information.
This list is for Protection / Retribution Paladins.
May also work for warriors when i think about it.

Alt. 2H: Reef Axe---------------------------------------------------Gelihast--------------------------------------------BFD

PS: I always get Leatherworking first and fix the Medium Armor Kits, then in this case i go Jewelcrafting to get the necklace. After that i go Engineering and get the goggles. I remove mining but keep engineering so that i can use the goggles. After that, i get enchanting, enchant everything that i can and then remove enchanting and get herbalism for the Lifeblood spell.

Nice guide
I would add that the use of bloodthistle, is what makes belf the better choice for horde.
Might have been mentioned, didn't read the comments.

I just want to add a change to my last comment. The chest should be Phantom Armor.

Re: Earl's F2P Paladin Guide
Haste is not a great stat for prot paladins at level 20. It mostly benefits auto-attack (white) damage and spells with cast times, though it also does lower the GCD slightly. Since prot primarily makes use of instant spells that have cooldowns beyond the GCD, the only thing haste really helps with is slightly quicker heals and a minimal increase in auto-attack damage.
You'd probably be better off with defensive trinkets such as Arena Grand Master, Inherited Mark of Tyranny, or an Inherited Insignia of the Alliance/Horde for non-Human characters.
