### Intro
Paladin is normally a support class in raid content, however in cube and chaos dungeons you need to build for AOE damage for fast and efficient clears. Paladin has one of the fastest chaos dungeons clears due his immense amount of AOE damaging skills that you can rotate per each mob group. Chaos dungeons and cube are fairly easy content and Paladin just excels in both with this AOE build.

### Skill Progression
- At 268 skill points add :tripod[Execution of Justice, Acuteness] on :skill[Execution of Justice]
- At 284 skill points add :tripod[Flash Thrust, Chain Attack] on :skill[Flash Thrust]
- At 296 skill points remove :tripod[Flash Thrust, Chain Attack] from :skill[Flash Thrust] and add :tripod[Execution of Justice, Express Fury] on :skill[Execution of Justice]
- At 312 skill points add :tripod[Flash Thrust, Chain Attack] on :skill[Flash Thrust]
- At 340 skill points add :tripod[Flash Thrust, Flash Enhancement] on :skill[Flash Thrust]
- At 340+ skill points start getting :skill[Heavenly Blessings] and :skill[Holy Explosion] to level 11, while getting other level 10 skills to level 11 as you unlock more skill points.

### Skill Breakdown
- :skill[Heavenly Blessings] is the bread and butter of AOE damage. It has massive range and one-shots every mob in the area and on top of that gives you an attack power buff for your next AOE attack.
- :skill[Holy Explosion] is the 2nd best mob clearing skill that has smaller AOE but deals a lot of damage and clears whole packs of mobs in one go.
- :skill[Wrath of God] is similar to :skill[Heavenly Blessings] where it has lower damage but stuns all the mobs in the AOE range while also giving attack power buff.
- :skill[Holy Sword] is good for dealing with Elite mobs and bosses due to its high damage to single targets.
- :skill[Executor's Sword] has massive AOE damage when you combine it after attack power buffs. Efficiently clears whole packs of mobs and deal with Elites as well.
- :skill[Execution of Justice] deals massive AOE damage also after self buffing with attack power.
- :skill[Flash Thrust] cannot be interrupted while casting, has decent damage and low cooldown while staggering mobs it hits.
- :skill[Charge] is movement skill for repositioning and grouping up mobs.
- :skill[Alithanes's Judgment] is the preferred awakening as the other one is more support oriented and you want damage.

### Combat Stats
This build focuses heavily on high Swiftness as a primary stat and Specialization as a secondary stat on necklace which will give you you high mobility, high attack speed and low cooldowns.

### Runes
Runes will help you by enhancing your skills with extra stats or abilities, they are not mandatory in chaos dungeons and cube but will help with faster clears.

- :rune[Bleed, 4] on :skill[Flash Thrust] to apply bleeding effect and clear groups of mobs faster
- :rune[Galewind, 3] on :skill[Holy Sword], :skill[Executor's Sword], :skill[Execution of Justice] and :skill[Holy Explosion] to increase casting speed even more and clear groups of mobs faster
- :rune[Wealth, 4] on :skill[Heavenly Blessings] and :skill[Wrath of God] to farm identity gauge
- :rune[Quick Recharge, 3] for a chance to refresh cooldowns when you use the skill for mobility

### Gameplay and Rotation
Since this build is based arround AOE skills, the rotation is as following.

1. Rotate between :skill[Wrath of God] and :skill[Heavenly Blessings] to apply attack power buffs before using other skills for higher damage.
2. Group as many mobs as possible then blast them with :skill[Holy Explosion] and :skill[Execution of Justice] depending on which one is off cooldown first.
3. To clear Elites and bosses make sure to activate your identity for more damage on :skill[Holy Sword]
4. Use your Awakening skill :skill[Alithanes's Judgment]  whenever you group up 3 Elites in Stage 2 as they will reduce the cooldown of it and you will get it back before Boss spawn to use it again.
5. Your filler skills are :skill[Flash Thrust] and :skill[Executor's Sword] but they also deal a lot of damage to big groups of mobs.
6. Repeat the same rotation of skills as they come of cooldown. You don't need to have perfect rotation so don't be conservative with using any skill whenever it is available.

### Summary
- Paladin has one of the fastest and most efficient chaos dungeons clears due to high AOE damage skills
- Group mobs before self buffing with :skill[Wrath of God] and :skill[Heavenly Blessings] as they both deal massive AOE damage
- Combine the buff with even more high AOE damaging skills.
- Use the awakening whenever you feel it is needed as the cooldown gets reduced when you kill Elites and the Boss in stage 2.
- Only activate your identity at the start of the Stage as the effect doesn't carry into the next stage.

Paladin - Chaos Dungeon/Cube AoE Build

### **Intro**

Paladin is a support class. His numerous **CC**, shields and damage reductions make him one of the strongest classes in PvP.                                                                                                                  
His mechanics are simple but will require a good positioning to peel efficiently for your team and his damage shouldn't be underestimated.                                                                            
Saving your HP while supporting your team is your main objective.

### **Glossary**

- SA = Super armor = immunity
- T1 SA= stagger(stiffness effect) immunity
- T2 SA= push(knock) immunity
- T3 SA= hard cc immunity 
- CC= crowd control
- AOE= Area of effect, a skill which affects an area
- HP= Health Points
- CD= Cooldown

### **Skills**

- :skill[Charge] : is a knockup skill 
- :skill[Executor's Sword] : is a knockup/down skill
- :skill[Execution of Justice] : is a protected(**T2 SA**) which inflicts a **stagger** then knockup in **AOE** (You can replace :tripod[Execution of Justice, Bulwark ] by :tripod[Execution of Justice, Forward Attack] to hit more easily).
- :skill[Holy Sword] : is your main damaging skill. (You can replace :tripod[Holy Sword, Vital Point Hit] by :tripod[Holy Sword, Outburst of Light] to hit more easily).
- :skill[Holy Protection] : is a defensive supporting skill which gives a shield to your team and heal them at the end of it (:tripod[Holy Protection, Vow of Light]). 
- :skill[Godsent Law] : is a defensive supporting skill which gives a huge buff of damage reduction in **AOE** (:tripod[Godsent Law, Grace]).
- :skill[Heavenly Blessings] : is a supporting and damaging skill which gives a buff of damage reduction to your team. 
- :skill[Wrath of God] : inflicts a hard **CC**  (:tripod[Wrath of God, Thunder]) and a knockdown (:tripod[Wrath of God, Light's Guardian]).

### **Identity**

- Left one : is a protected (**T2 SA**) offensive skill which increases blue skills damage and range.
- Right one : is a protected (**T2 SA**) offensive supporting skill which gives an attack buff in **AOE**.


### **Awakening**
- :skill[Alithanes's Judgment] : is the most used one, it gives a huge shield to your team, do some damage and inflicts a knockup.                                                                                                                                         
You can use it aggressively after a hard **CC**, on an opponent without his roll (spacebar) or defensively when the opposite team is hard pressuring you.                                                                                
Be careful, the casting time is slow, if you are low in **HP** and try to use it you might die while casting it and lose your ultimate.

### **Stats**
- Common distribution : 750 **Swiftness**, 249 **Endurance**, 1**Critical**
- To charge identity gauge faster : 750 **Swiftness**, 200 **Endurance**, 49 **Specialization**, 1 **Critical**

2. :skill[Wrath of God]
3. :skill[Holy Sword]

Variation :

2. :skill[Executor's Sword]
3. :skill[Wrath of God]

3. :skill[Holy Sword]


Long range catching Combo
1. :skill[Godsent Law]
2. :skill[Charge]
3. :skill[Wrath of God]
4. :skill[Holy Sword]

### **Gameplay**
Using your shields properly along with damage reduction skills such as :skill[Godsent Law],:skill[Heavenly Blessings], will make a big difference.
- Start of the game :
Stay behind your mates and look to anticipate an engage of your team or of your opponents to use : :skill[Holy Protection] .
- If the opponents are in range, catch them with :skill[Charge], its mobility (:tripod[Charge, Excellent Mobility]) will surprise your opponent.
- Look for a good positioning by using the **FOV** at your advantage to peel for your mates thanks to :skill[Godsent Law]. You should use this skill when your mate is about to get bursted.                                 
- :skill[Heavenly Blessings] should be used in a combo or when the opponents are pressuring your team. It will lower the damage they will take if they get caught. 
- Use your numerous **CC** to cancel your opponents combos : :skill[Charge], :skill[Executor's Sword], :skill[Execution of Justice], :skill[Wrath of God].
- Staying near the middle of the map will give you more options to dodge and support your team but it will be harder to anticipate an engage.
- To reposition yourself and retreat, use :skill[Charge], :skill[Executor's Sword] or your dash (try to keep it available as much possible so you can dodge your opponents abilities when needed).
- :skill[Holy Sword] is your damaging skill which will charge your identity the quickest. Use it after :
1. A hard **CC** like :skill[Wrath of God]
2. On a knocked opponent without his roll (spacebar) 
3. On a combo like : :skill[Executor's Sword] ->:skill[Holy Sword]
- You will probably get focused, be ready to use your numerous shields to resist, :skill[Charge], :skill[Execution of Justice], :skill[Godsent Law].

### **Summary**

- Few **SA** and mobility skills
- A lot of shields, and 2 skills of damage reduction
- Save your **HP** as much as you can
- Your role isn't to do damage but to have a good positioning to peel for your team
- Look for opportunities to put your combos.

Paladin - Support PvP 3v3

### Intro
Paladin is one of the 2 support classes. Difference between Bard and Paladin is where Bard skills provide allies with shields that have huge uptime while Paladin uses his skills to add damage reduction to all allies. Paladin has 2 identity skills, :idskill[Sacred Executioner] and :idskill[Holy Aura]. As a support Paladin you will always use :idskill[Holy Aura] as it gives attack damage buff and healing over time effect. Paladin has great countering capabilities with :skill[Executor's Sword] and :skill[Holy Sword] which both can be casted from distance. One disadvantage over Bard is that Paladin mana regeneration buff is much weaker than Bard's.

### Skill Progression
- At 268 skill points you will remove :tripod[Executor's Sword, Weak Point Enhancement] from :skill[Executor's Sword] and add :tripod[Holy Sword, Release Light] to :skill[Holy Sword]
- At 284 skill points you will add :tripod[Executor's Sword, Weak Point Enhancement] back to :skill[Executor's Sword]
- At 300 skill points you will add :tripod[Charge, Shining Protection] to :skill[Charge]
- At 312 skill points you will remove :tripod[Charge, Shining Protection] from :skill[Charge] and add :tripod[Executor's Sword, Executioner's Strike] to :skill[Executor's Sword] 
- At 328 skill points you will add :tripod[Charge, Shining Protection] back to :skill[Charge]
- At 356 skill points you will add :tripod[Light Shock, Powerful Shock] to :skill[Light Shock]
- At 356+ skill points you will be going for level 11 skills. Priority on :skill[Executor's Sword] and :skill[Holy Sword], while adding :skill[Wrath of God] and :skill[Heavenly Blessings] as you unlock more skill points

### Skill Breakdown
- :skill[Heavenly Blessings] is used to give attack power buff to yourself and all allies within range while giving damage reduction and mana regeneration
- :skill[Wrath of God] is a secondary attack power buff while also providing your with decent amount of identity gauge on hit
- :skill[Executor's Sword] is your main counter skill while also providing decent Destruction and Stagger
- :skill[Holy Sword] is your secondary counter skill that has bigger range but slower cast time. Use it if :skill[Executor's Sword] is on cooldown. It has good stagger and decent identity gauge farm
- :skill[Holy Protection] gives yourself and allies shield based on % of their HP, while also purifying the latest harmful effect. At the end of shield effect it also heals the target
- :skill[Godsent Law] is used to protect allies with huge damage reduction right before they will get hit by a boss. Hitting this skill requires boss knowledge and keeping a constant eye on your allies
- :skill[Light Shock] is used to apply party wide damage increase on boss, it has low cooldown and you can spam it
- :skill[Charge] is your movement skill that allows you to move around with ease and avoid getting hit
- :skill[Alithanes's Judgment] is your preferred Awakening skill as it is support oriented while the other one is more DPS oriented

### Combat Stats
Support Paladin uses Swiftness and Specialization. These stats can be allocated differently depending on the playstyle and preference.

1. Full Swiftness with Specialization on necklace for lower cooldown, faster attack and move speed. This setup is recommended and preferred in all tiers of content
2. 1135 in Specialization and rest in Swiftness for 100% :idskill[Holy Aura] efficiency while also increasing the damage buff to 20%. To take full advantage of this setup you need to be in a premade team oriented raid to coordinate burst damage window with allies.

### Runes
Runes will help you enhance your skills by giving extra bonuses. Support Paladin can use a mixture of different runes but the most optimal and recommended setup is as follows:

- :rune[Quick Recharge, 3] on :skill[Charge] and :skill[Light Shock] and they both have low cooldown and you can spam them to trigger the rune effect more often
- :rune[Focus, 4] on :skill[Holy Protection] and :skill[Heavenly Blessings] as these two skills are mana heavy and runes help you be less conservative with spamming them often
- :rune[Protection, 3] on :skill[Godsent Law] to give yourself a shield as you need to stand still to cast the skill
- :rune[Wealth, 4] on :skill[Holy Sword] and :skill[Wrath of God] for more identity gauge farm
- :rune[Galewind, 3] on :skill[Executor's Sword] for faster cast time into countering boss

Optional runes:
- :rune[Overwhelm, 4] on :skill[Holy Sword] and :skill[Executor's Sword] if you need more stagger for specific bosses
- :rune[Bleed, 4] on :skill[Light Shock] to apply bleed effect and deal extra damage as the skill has low cooldown and you can spam it

### Engravings
Engravings for Support Paladin are fully oriented on maximizing his support capabilities. There are few different setups of engravings you can go for, but the 3 main engravings always must stay the same.

Priority Engravings
- :engraving[Blessed Aura] is the support class engraving that synergizes with :idskill[Holy Aura] identity skill
- :engraving[Awakening] to reduce the cooldown of your Awakening skill, which means you can use it every 90 seconds, which will allow you to have a higher uptime of :idskill[Holy Aura] as using the awakening fully replenishes identity gauge
- :engraving[Expert] increases shield and heals efficiency of :skill[Holy Protection] and :idskill[Holy Aura]. This is increased even more if allies are below 50% HP

Add-on Engravings
- :engraving[Spirit Absorption] increases Attack speed and Move speed which goes well with Specialization combat stat setup to supplement for missing attack and move speed
- :engraving[Heavy Armor] increases defense for higher survivability
- :engraving[Drops of Ether] generates Ethers that can be picked up by allies to grant Attack Damage, Critical Strike Chance, Attack Speed, Movement Speed, Defense or Mana Regen
- :engraving[Vital Point Hit] increases stagger damage done which will help with certain boss mechanics
- :engraving[Judgment] is your other class engraving that you only need to have on level 1 which will be enough for 100% Piety Meter gain and greater :idskill[Holy Aura] uptime

### Gems
As a support you focus heavily on cooldown reduction gems while only using three attack gems.

Attack gems
- :skill[Holy Sword]
- :skill[Executor's Sword]
- :skill[Heavenly Blessings]

Cooldown reduction gems
- :skill[Heavenly Blessings]
- :skill[Wrath of God]
- :skill[Holy Protection]
- :skill[Holy Sword]
- :skill[Executor's Sword]
- :skill[Godsent Law]
- :skill[Charge]
- :skill[Light Shock]

### Cards
Cards are endgame system that help you maximize your character even further. Getting to the point where you can reap fully benefits of specific card set will take a very long time.

Paladin heals work off of their own HP, so increasing your HP with card sets is the most optimal and recommend way to setup. The two recommended card setups both give you 4% HP increase on each stage and you can mix and match these two sets to your liking.

:cardset[Field Boss II]

:cardset[Farewell, Weapon]


### Gameplay and Rotation
As a Support Paladin you don't really rely on perfect rotation of skills, but more on knowing boss mechanics and paying attention where your allies are so you can shield and protect them in time

1. Use :skill[Light Shock] whenever it is available to apply a damage increase buff to your party
2. Rotate between :skill[Heavenly Blessings] and :skill[Wrath of God] as these are your two attack damage buffs. Try to always hit the boss with these two skills to farm identity gauge. **REMEMBER THAT THEY DO NOT STACK**
3. Use :skill[Holy Protection] whenever it is ready to shield and heal your allies. You can also be more conservative with this skill depending on your boss knowledge to keep it for specific boss attack or mechanic. Remember that you have purify effect to remove harmful effects
4. In emergencies use :skill[Godsent Law] to protect allies from getting hit by high damage dealing attacks. It won't prevent 1-shot mechanics. Be mindful of your positioning as you are required to stand still while casting it.
5. Try to always move around front side of the boss and keep :skill[Executor's Sword] ready to counter when the boss glows blue. Paladin has one of the best and fastest counters, plus you can also use them from safe distance too
6. Whenever your cooldowns are down, auto-attack to maximize damage output.
7. Use :skill[Charge] as a secondary space-bar escape to avoid big attacks, reposition and move around helping your allies.

### Summary
- Support Paladin is great at negating damage, by providing damage reduction buff and attack power buff, while also having a couple of shielding and healing skills
- Always remember to rotate between :skill[Heavenly Blessings] and :skill[Wrath of God] to maximize attack power buff uptime. **THEY DON'T STACK**
- Be ready and in position for countering bosses when they glow blue
- Use your awakening on cooldown to maximize :idskill[Holy Aura] uptime and efficiency
- Always spam :skill[Light Shock] to apply damage increase buff on boss
- Don't focus on attacking and wasting :skill[Holy Sword] and :skill[Executor's Sword]. Use them during stagger mechanics or for countering bosses
- Be mindful of your positioning, always move around and stay on your feet. With high swiftness you can traverse the map with ease.

Skill runes: Some of the skill runes can be switched to something else based on the content you are running but most of it is standard, also since the website is not listing some of the legendary runes since they are not in the game yet I will update the build once they are listed in future.

Variation: 
You can switch to heavy armor engraving for ether drops ( pls note that ether drops like crit/AP/ swiftness are supposed for your raid members to pick but sometimes they drop close to you and magnet to you which sucks since you are not benefiting much from them as rest of DPS classes) and or vital hit point.

-PS. My build aim is for a minimum of 6/6 ability stones so the more you can score on the stone the cheaper you can buy accessories to manage 5 max engravings and since 9/6 or 9/7 stone is whale territory to get 5 engraving max and 6th at level 1 I'm going to discard that in my build.
