Paladin

Classes (back)

Description

Paladins are a plate wearing melee fighter focused primarily on defensive capabilities. Paladins gain some healing, protective, and stun spells, they can be considered a hybrid of Warrior and Cleric.

• While not as good of a Tank as a Warrior, Paladins can hold their own. They are expected to tank, and off tank.

Stengths/Weaknesses

Pros - tank - heal - rez - Brells (HP buff that stacks with most other buffs)

Cons - gear dependent, dps could be better

• Divine Might (spell adding a proc to attacks)
• Instrument of Knife (spell adding a huge undead damage proc to attacks)
• A self only haste spell
• A healing over time spell "HoT"
• The class gained Paladin only quests and items to help them become more useful

Grouping

• You have one real role in a group: to tank the bad guy!
• Your DPS isn't great, so ensure you konw how to keep Aggro
• Make use of the aggro generating spells (stuns, root, rarely-flash of light)
• You have "Taunt" use it, keep the skill maxed. Use taunt when the enemy faces away from you!
• If you root an enemy make sure you are standing closest to it.
• You have very minor healing capabilities, but they can be useful in a pinch. (don't be affraid to heal yourself with the HoT)
• Also do not ignore your bash skill! You can crit with a shield bash for 256 dmg in the 50s, as well as stun!

Raiding

• Most often you will be an Off tank, though when warriors are absent your next in line to main tank!
