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.

Strategy

Beginning with beta 32, human and 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.

Paladins are limited in mobility (no 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 tree.

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