Warrior of Faith · Tank · STA

Paladin

Faith is not a sermon delivered from the rear; it is a promise kept under pressure. I meet the enemy in plate, answer spellcraft with shield and steel, and drive holy conviction through Crusader Strikes and miraculous smites. Consecrated ground strengthens those beside me and punishes the dead who trespass upon it.

When an ally would fall, my oath makes their peril mine. Auras embolden the company, Healing Touch and resurrection restore what battle spends, and Shield Slam ensures hostile casters finish neither threat nor sentence. Any knight may carry a weapon. A Paladin makes the line itself sacred.

Bonus point advice

Stamina is the Paladin's primary attribute and the best starting priority for tanking. After that, favor Wisdom for mana and divine abilities, then Strength for melee damage.

Choose for your playstyle: Favor Stamina for tanking, Wisdom for mana and divine abilities, or Strength for melee damage.
