Holy Paladin PvP Best Arena Compositions (Shadowlands / Patch 9.2)
Team composition in 2v2 or 3v3 Arena is very important, because not all classes work well together. Here, we give you the best compositions you can have for your Holy Paladin (i.e., the best classes to pair with it).
This page is part of our Holy Paladin PvP Guide.
2v2 Arena
In 2v2 Arena you will be focusing on crowd controlling the enemy healer and
rotating your utility to keep your teammate alive. Holy Paladins have multiple
defensives that allow them to survive high dampening situations. For example,
Divine Shield will always make you immune to all damage, even in long
matches with high dampening. The same goes for
Blessing of Protection
that makes you immune to all physical damage. You also have
Hammer of Justice to help setup
Repentance on enemy
healers.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 2v2:
- Holy Paladin + Arms Warrior
- Holy Paladin + Subtlety Rogue
- Holy Paladin + Beast Mastery Hunter
- Holy Paladin + Havoc Demon Hunter
- Holy Paladin + WindwalkerMonk
3v3 Arena
Your role in 3v3 is similar to 2v2 Arena. You will place
Beacon of Light on the teammate that will be taking damage. If the enemy
team is using multiple burst cooldowns you will want to use your
Avenging Crusader followed by the rest of your burst healing rotation.
When your team is ready to use their burst rotation, you will want to use
Hammer of Justice and
Repentance on the enemy healer. This
crowd control is very hard to stop if you are able to Hammer of Justice
the enemy healer behind a pillar or out of line of the rest of the enemy team.
There are going to be teams that will try to focus you. Make sure to rotate
your
Blessing of Freedom and
Blessing of Protection to survive as
long as possible. If you are playing against a team where
Blessing of Protection does not help, try to line of sight any damage or
use
Divine Shield.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 3v3:
- RMPally (Holy Paladin + Fire Mage + Subtlety Rogue)
- Jungle (Holy Paladin + Marksmanship Hunter + Feral Druid)
- WMP (Holy Paladin + Frost Mage + Arms Warrior)
- Holy Paladin + Arms Warrior + Havoc Demon Hunter
