==Description==
Sun Paladins hail from the Gates of Morning, the last bastion of the free people in the Far East.
Their way of life is well represented by their motto 'The Sun is our giver, our purity, our essence. We carry the light into dark places, and against our strength none shall pass.'

They can channel the power of the Sun to smite all who seek to destroy the Sunwall.
Competent in both weapon and shield combat and magic, they usually burn their foes from afar before bashing them in melee.

Their most important stats are: [[Strength]] and [[Magic]]

==Strategy==
Beginning with beta 32, [[human]] and [[elf|elven]] Sun Paladins begin in the [[Gates of Morning]]. Their starting zone is the [[Slazish Fens]], accessible through a stairway inside the town.

This class plays like a [[Bulwark]] (one-handed weapon and shield, with some of the same talents), but lacks Shield Wall. This is compensated by [[Retribution (talent)|Retribution]] which forms a shield to half the damage taken. The shield then explodes to deal light damage to surroundings when certain amount of damage is taken.

Paladins are limited in mobility (no [[Step up (talent)|Step Up]] option). They make up for that by bringing an assortment of auxiliary damage buffs -- adding Light damage to melee attacks, doing Light damage to attacking monsters when hit, a one-tile Light damage-over-time talent, and a Fire beam, among others.

Paladins also get healing talents in the [[Light (category)|Light]] tree.

The biggest choice with this class is which of the Chants to develop (and when).

==Description==
Stone Wardens are dwarves trained in both the eldritch arts and the worship of nature.
While other races are stuck in their belief that arcane forces and natural forces are meant to oppose, dwarves have found a way to combine them in harmony.

Stone Wardens are armoured fighters, dual wielding shields to channel many of their powers.

==Strategy==
''This class is available only to players who have donated money, or purchased the game through a redistributor.''

''This class can only be played as a [[Dwarf]].''

No other class has as much retaliation damage, and damage negation, as the Stone Warden (although [[Wyrmic]]s run a strong second place). So, at first glance the basic strategy is to maximize [[Armour]], pile on the retaliation ([[Eldritch infusion (talent)|Eldritch Infusion]], [[Shards (talent)|Shards]], and equipment), and take the hits.

Further damage negation comes in the form of [[Stone fortress (talent)|Stone Fortress]] + [[Resilience of the dwarves (talent)|Resilience of the Dwarves]]. When these are in effect, you can absorb damage from non-physical (elemental) attacks using your Armour. This is your primary means of survival, and what a potent means it is.

Offensively, your dual-wielded shields don't quite dish out the raw pounding of the warrior classes, but you can summon aid with [[Elemental split (talent)|Elemental Split]], or use [[Deeprock form (talent)|Deeprock Form]] to make volcanos and throw boulders.

Mobility is poor. [[Stone vines (talent)|Stone Vines]] let you close with an entangled opponent via [[Rockwalk (talent)|Rockwalk]], but they also reduce your regular movement rate by 50%. Adding some movement infusions, or boots of rushing, or similar accessories to help with mobility, would be wise.

==Strategy==
''This class is available only to players who have donated money, or purchased the game through a redistributor.''

''This class can only be played as a [[Dwarf]].''

No other class has as much retaliation damage, and damage negation, as the Stone Warden (although [[Wyrmic]]s run a strong second place). So, at first glance the basic strategy is to maximize [[Armour]], pile on the retaliation ([[Eldritch infusion (talent)|Eldritch Infusion]], [[Shards (talent)|Shards]], and equipment), and take the hits.

Further damage negation comes in the form of [[Stone fortress (talent)|Stone Fortress]] + [[Resilience of the dwarves (talent)|Resilience of the Dwarves]]. When these are in effect, you can absorb damage from non-physical (elemental) attacks using your Armour. This is your primary means of survival, and what a potent means it is.

Offensively, your dual-wielded shields don't quite dish out the raw pounding of the warrior classes, but you can summon aid with [[Elemental split (talent)|Elemental Split]], or use [[Deeprock form (talent)|Deeprock Form]] to make volcanos and throw boulders.

Mobility is poor. [[Stone vines (talent)|Stone Vines]] let you close with an entangled opponent via [[Rockwalk (talent)|Rockwalk]], but they also reduce your regular movement rate by 50%. Adding some movement infusions, or boots of rushing, or similar accessories to help with mobility, would be wise.

{{class
|name=Sun Paladin
|metaclass=Celestial
|starting_life=110
|locked=Yes
|life_per_level= +2
|strength= +5

}}

==Description==
Sun Paladins hail from the Gates of Morning, the last bastion of the free people in the Far East.
Their way of life is well represented by their motto 'The Sun is our giver, our purity, our essence. We carry the light into dark places, and against our strength none shall pass.'

They can channel the power of the Sun to smite all who seek to destroy the Sunwall.
Competent in both weapon and shield combat and magic, they usually burn their foes from afar before bashing them in melee.

Their most important stats are: [[Strength]] and [[Magic]]

==Starting Equipment==
*Iron Mace
*Iron Shield
*Iron Mail Armor

==Starting Talents==
*[[Searing light (talent)|Searing Light]]
*[[Weapon of light (talent)|Weapon of Light]]

}}

==Strategy==
Beginning with beta 32, [[human]] and [[elf|elven]] Sun Paladins begin in the [[Gates of Morning]]. Their starting zone is the [[Slazish Fens]], accessible through a stairway inside the town.

This class plays like a [[Bulwark]] (one-handed weapon and shield, with some of the same talents), but lacks Shield Wall. This is compensated by [[Retribution (talent)|Retribution]] which forms a shield to half the damage taken. The shield then explodes to deal light damage to surroundings when certain amount of damage is taken.

Paladins are limited in mobility (no [[Step up (talent)|Step Up]] option). They make up for that by bringing an assortment of auxiliary damage buffs -- adding Light damage to melee attacks, doing Light damage to attacking monsters when hit, a one-tile Light damage-over-time talent, and a Fire beam, among others.

Paladins also get healing talents in the [[Light (category)|Light]] tree.

The biggest choice with this class is which of the Chants to develop (and when).
