Combining physical ability and magic to become a force to be reckoned with, the paladin class is probably one of the most unique and popular classes in the game. This class excels in melee fighting, healing, spell casting, tanking, and taking damage for other players. Every group needs at least one paladin to be successful. It’s highly recommended that you play this class at least once.

Getting Started

In picking the race for your paladin character, consider elves and humans because they are popular choices, but since this is a hybrid class, you can pretty much choose whatever you want. Becase of this, it is recommended that you start with the race that you are most comfortable with.

Master both weaponry and healing if you want to excel in this class. If you’re not really sure what profession to try or which style of warfare suits you best, picking the paladin class is a good choice. Try both ranged and melee until you find the one that you find most comfortable.

Manage your mana carefully since paladins rely heavily on mana. Remember that casting spells and engaging in battles will deplete yor mana quickly, so be mindful of this. Losing too much mana will result in loss of health points, and a low reserve of it will prolong your character’s rejuvination.

The Tools of the Paladin

In addition to the usual armor and weapons, the paladins also have some unique tools that will benefit the whole group.

Auras – Very powerful tool that protects the paladin and his entire group within a 30 yard radius. Use one of these while conducting a raid. Having multiple paladins in a group can maximize the power of auras since the group will be using different auras.

Seals – A special kind of spell that is unique to the paladin class. Used for either regeneration or increasing skills during a battle, only one of these can be used at a time. When managed properly, seals can be extremely handy. using seals on your enemies usually have the opposite effect of what you experience. For example, a healing seal will heal you, but it will deplete your enemy’s health.

Blessings – Another unique item for paladins, this incredibly powerful item can be used to bestow certain gifts on an entire group or just on the paladin who used it. Effects of blessings can last up to fifteen minutes in some cases and can provide extra strength, extra health, or extra skills.
