Blizzard published Protection in full: Improved Seal of Fury, Shield Specialization, Swift Judgment (16-point Forever gold), Templar's Bulwark, Reckoning and Iron Creed.

20Consecration baseline

50–60Templar's Bulwark + 16-pt

Level 10. Open Prot. Prefer Mail while leveling. Keep Seal of Fury up once you learn it; Judgment of Fury is the taunt.

Level 20. Consecration is baseline and holds packs. Holy Strike, Consecration, Seal of Fury / Righteousness and Judgment are the threat core.

Level 30. Provisional beta path: Redoubt 5, Precision 3, Anticipation 5, Shield Spec 3, Improved Righteous Fury 3, Improved Seal of Fury, Swift Judgment. That is 21 points in Prot.

Level 40 to 60. Push Templar's Bulwark and Iron Creed, then the Forever 16-point row. Stats: Stamina 1st, then Strength and Agility, Intellect for mana. No interrupt still: bring a kick class for caster packs.

Leveling hours and the 2 speeds

A quest-led 1 to 60 is about 150 hours of play. A Paladin sits near the class average on the published leveling board. Holy Strike at level 6 and Consecration at 20 cut the slow Classic open. dungeons mobs give less XP; dungeon quests pay more on the 1st run: 1 clear per dungeon, then open world.

2 speeds on the Starter Pack:

1 booster, 12 hours a day: about 14 days to 60 at $299 (regular $399 after the pre-order window).
2 boosters in shifts: about 7 days at $420 (regular $599).

Profession leveling 1 to 300 is an add-on on the same order. Playing on a Normal realm is set in the builder before the 1st session.

Full route detail: leveling guide. Skip the grind: Paladin power leveling.
