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. This is compensated by 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 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).
