Overview

Paladins are a plate-wearing, tank class, initially conceived of as a hybrid of clerics and warriors. As the game has evolved, the class has become far more distinct. They rely heavily on stamina, agility, and wisdom as their primary statistics.

Unlike their shadow knight counterparts, paladins are more defensively focused: heals, group heals, and defensive buffs are a nod to that. Also unlike shadow knights, the paladin class is generally limited to "good" and "neutral" races: this includes the Drakkin, dwarves, Erudites, Frogloks, gnomes, Half-Elves, Halflings, and High Elves, humans.

Paladins are mostly desired in groups for:

• Tanking
• Miniature versions of cleric buffs and rezzes [ Brells }
• Backup Healing and Group Healing

Paladins are mostly desired in raids for:

• Offtanking
• Kiting
• Group Healing
• Disease and curse curse
• Their ability to generate AoE aggro.
• They're also a popular choice as rampage tanks. The DA hammer helps with that.

Class Capabilities

• Aggro
• Stuns are quite useful for aggro, starting with the level seven cease and level thirteen desist lines.
• Group heals also generate quite a lot of aggro.

Slay Undead: Seen up to 33k hits at lvl 85 so far .
