Tips and hints

  1. Paladin is perfect for support. Use the Lay on Hands ability to heal team members and the Glorious Beacon to blind enemies.
  2. Paladin is also pretty good in defense, dealing minor damage. Flames of Devotion and different auras can buff Paladin (and often their teammates as well) and effectively debuff enemies.
  3. It's easy to notice that Paladin is a rather universal class. Depending on your needs, you should focus on different attributes. Might increases damage; Constitution - health points; Intellect improves Paladin's area of effect; and Resolve shortens time of hostile debuffs. If your Paladin is going to be a tank, invest your points in Constitution and Resolve - you can add some Might for additional damage. If you're going for support, focus on Intellect.
  4. Paladin's abilities use up Zeal - the pool is replenished after every fight.
