It definitely does not stack; the spell description for Crusader Aura says so.

The reason your pally friend could beat you is that Crusader Aura is a 20% speed buff, whereas Riding Crop is only a 10% speed buff.

I don’t know much about Paladins but I do believe the crusader Aura that increases your mount speed does indeed stack with items that increase mount speed such as Riding Crop, Carrot on a stick….I have a paladin friend and we have raced each other on mounts (out of group so I was not affected by the aura) and he could beat me every time because he had aura and I did not when we both had the same riding trinket equipped.

@Adese: thanks for that! I’ve added a note about that in the main article text, with credit to you.

@Magnilda: Nice going on the pally :) I imagine you probably know most of what I’m likely to say, but I hope the next pieces prove useful.

@Pike: You’re welcome! Hope it proves useful – new pallies can be rather intimidating thanks to the Seal/Judgement mechanics, so I hope this explained things a bit more clearly.

This is going to be super helpful for my baby-pally! Thanks!

Nice little intro. I’ve just reached 39 on my pally so looks like I might out level this handy guide.

Looking forward to the next pieces. :)

One small clarification regarding Seal of Vengeance. If the seal procs when there is already a stack of 5 Holy Vengeances on the mob, you will do a small amount of holy damage to the mob. The stack will also be refreshed.

Haha! Dont worry about it! We’re only human after all!!

We all forget stuff – especially when its not part of our main build!! Dont ask me to try and remember any of the stuff you get in the holy tree for instance!!!

Nice guide!!

Just a small comment though. In your description of Blessing of Salvation you say that ret-paladins don’t have talents to reduce threat. We do now! (since 2.3) Its buried deep into the ret-tree. ( i cant remember the name of the talent, but it reduces threat by 30% with 3/3 points spent.
