I just want to be like you!

im 46 pally atm and i will hit 50 soon. I was ret then speced to prot then after i reaized that specing to anything except ret when ur low lvl is stupid because it will make probz when ur questing alone (yes this is my opinion sry, and yes it IS possible to play with other specs too) so i speced to ret again but i speced better then i was first time because i knew better what i needed and what i dont. After all my server is heating up atm. A few guys killed Thrall a few days ago. And on the same day at evening time I was with my friend. We were just in GS and doing races and having fun until it said there "Vineyard under attack!" She is lvl 59 so she wanted to go there. I lead there there and then i saw the first time a mass raid group of the horde.
Im quite new in wow and i was so amazed. So many 70s but not just normal fresh ones. Their armor looked high even though i dont know the difference between t1 or t4. W alarmed immedietly stormwind and a few sec later we had about 100 high lvls guarding sw. i didnt turn my pvp on as i was still low lvl. i watched how all the hordes die and i wanted only one thing back then. Join a raid group and do as much dmg as possible.

So lol sry for the long story but will i be able to acutally "help" in raids? or will i be just the free honor target?

You will be able to help, but when you get into an organized raid - you will be able to help out even more.

Those "Lets storm their city - msg me for raid invite" and so on, is just a large PUG where noone really helps, it's mostly solo play. As a level 46 paladin, you can shield and heal for helping. Your damage would be laughed at compared to the higher enemy.

As a Palla, if you are just talking city raids and stuff, the simple answer is yes

If nothing else you can burn all your mana on buffs, obviously healing is nice and any clothy will love BoP and any War will /kiss for BoF.

Playing at that low lvl would actually teach you how to play a good BG (battleground) palla (i.e support not mad dps)

You can also be bait when oom run out get chased back Bubble an hide in the pack whilst they take the free kill (tho this doesnt actually help with the oom part .. opps u survived :)

You can also hang back even further and just heal back to full those that are retreating, saving downtime and lives

ohh and ofc, the 6 sec over the shoulder stun is loved by all :)
