• Proficiency - Increases your base damage by the % of the stat.
  
• Determination - Increases your damage when you’re being attacked.
  
• Brutality - Increases your damage as your target loses health.
  
• Anger - Similar to Rage in the previous system. Now wound complexity builds up over time, rather than immediately at the start of combat.
  
• Vitality - Increases your health.
  
• Willpower - For every second under control effects you receive X% resistance. When that reaches 100% you will receive immunity to control effects for Y seconds.
  
• Bloodlust - Heals you for X% of your damage and Y% of your heals.
  
• Tenacity - Reduces the speed that you receive wound complexity.
  
• Luck - Gives you X% chance to inflict critical damage.
  
• Faith - Increases your mana.

• Break barrier;
  
• Decrease or completely remove damage stored in barrier(s);
  
• Refresh duration of barrier;
  
• Use part of stored damage to attack enemy.

• Canons of Light can be used to cast healing, protection, control and area-of-effect spells. Canons of Light are restored automatically, one Canon per 10 seconds.
• Canons of Purity can be used for special attacks. Canons of Light are restored automatically, one per 10 seconds when not in combat and one per 15 seconds when in combat.

• Exhaust Evil. Orc racial skill. Great AOE damage. Very useful in Physical DPS build.
  
• Zealous Blow. Kanian racial skill. Inflicts great damage plus additional damage every 2 seconds over 20 seconds. Useful in Physical DPS build during boss fights and in PvP.
  
• Pious Words. Elf racial skill. Inflicts no damage to the target, but puts a curse that decreases incoming healing for 20 seconds. In my opinion the most useless paladin racial skill because of the fact that amount of blocked heal is negligible.
  
• Rousing Shout. Xadaganian racial skill. Decreases the amount of damage stored in all holy barriers. My favorite. Great for tank spec and in PvP.
  

• Healers Divine Foresight- extra heal in critical situations.
  
• Barriers from Mage - What can be better then barriers that absorb damage?
  
• Natural Balance from Warden - good but it is healers job to have this skill. After Heart of the World it is no need to have 2 Natural Balances in party due to the fact of global cooldown.

• Fear from Summoner - very useful in 1 versus 1 fights.
  
• Charge from Warrior - extra knockdown. Yay!
  
• Speed of the Damned from Scout - nice but I prefer Charge which has similar effect + extra knockdown.

• Adrenaline Rush from Warrior. In my opinion the best and only sensible choice.

• Barriers mean survivability so you need skills to control them:
  • Overcome. Rank 3
    
  • Tenacity. Rank 3
    
  • Deliverance. Rank3
  
  
• Strike of justice. Rank 1 is enough. Rarely used in PvE due to the fact that we usually start fight from a distance. Useful in PvP – knockdown is always good in PvP.
  
• Condemnation. Rank 3. Good DOT – keep it on your target/targets all the time.
  
• Particle of Light/Touch of Light. Rank 1 but if you have more talent points you can boost it.
  Paladins role in a party is to protect the rest, not only to keep agro. When the situation is critical absorbing damage can save someone.
  
• Righteous Word. Rank 3. The most important skill for holy tank. It increases your aggro by 100%(250% with rubies).
  
• Anathema/Interdiction. Rank 3. Our only AOE. It spreads Condemnation effect to all enemies within 10 yards radius.
  
• Solemn Prayer. Rank 3. Heals all party members within 20 yards.
  
• Shining Sword. Rank 3. Very useful in PvP. Good in PvE too, especially when you fight with a mob that is like “I don’t care about aggro, I want to kill this mage!”. In PvE causes similar effect to fear.
  
• Sacred Sunrise. Rank 3. Extra damage is good. Nothing more to say.
  
• Autodafe. Rank3. Very useful in PvP. Good in PvE for the similar reason as Shining Sword.
  

• Stats rubies:
  • Zealots Fury. Rank 3. Determination increased by X points. Important;
    
  • Disciple’s Power. Rank 3. Proficiency increased by X points. Important;
    
  • Divine Purpose. Rank 1. Brutality increased by X points. Brutality is not necessary to keep aggro so if you do not have many rubies skip this one;
    
  • Monk’s Reflexes. Rank 3. Tenacity increased by X points. Important;
    
  • Righteous Vitality. Rank3. What can I say? The more HP you have the better tank you are. Important;
    
  • Will of the Hermit. Rank 1. Willpower increased by X points. This stat is good in PvP but useless in PvE. If you are going to use holy tank build in PvP and have more rubies this is a good investment.
  
  
• Challenge. Extremely useful in every situation(PvE, PvP, raids). Very important;
  
• Martyr’s Gift. Rank 3. Damage of main holy skills increased. Important;
  
• Righteous Force. Rank 3. Cooldown of main holy skills decreased. Important;
  
• Guilty Conscience. Rank 3. Extra damage and threat from Righteous Word. Very important;
  
• Outrage. Rank 3. Cast time and energy cost of Sacred Sunrise decreased. Important;
  
• Exorcism. Rank 3. More damage from Condemnation. Important;
  
• Reparation. Very useful but not necessary;
  
• Devoted Plea. Rank 3. Cooldown and energy cost of your healing/absorbing skills decreased. Good but not necessary – if you don’t have enough rubies you can skip this to Rank 1;
  
• Purifier. Rank 2. Critical chance of main holy skills increased. Damage from Condemnation increased. Important;
  
• Self-healing. Rank 3. Nothing to say. Very important;
  
• Departing Light. Rank 3. Almost permanent buff that increase received amount of healing. Barriers skills do not have energy cost. Important;
  
• Extra Barrier. Rank 2. Easy math. The more barriers you have the more tough you are. Very important;
  
• Protection of Faith. Rank 3. Cooldown on skills to control barriers is decreased. Important;
  
• Absolution. Rank 2. You receive X% less damage when you break your barrier. Good but not as important as it could be;
  
• Justice. Rank 3. Damage of your AOE increased and incoming damage decreased when you fight with a group of enemies. Important;
  
• Combat Inspiration. Rank 2. Parry chance increased. Important;
  
• Canon of Light. Rank 3. Canons are restored faster. Very important;
  
• Self-sacrifice. Restores Canons. Useful;
  
  
  Comment: I will not talk about rubies I didn’t take with one exception:
  
  
• Certain Victory. Rank 0. Controversial. Many holy tank’s builds contain this ruby on rank 3. There are opinions that it doesn’t work for holy damage, but there are also voices that it is useful. I do not care about it. As I said earlier: final DPS is not so important for tanks. I preferred to spend rubies for increasing my/party survivability.
  
  

• One target(boss, harder mob)
  
  
  

  Quoted from "Qaraur"

  Commentary:
  Start fight with Sacred Sunrise, then use Righteous Word. It will increase your aggro and activate effect from Sacred Sunrise. Next you should apply DOT from Condemnation. This is time for next Sacred Sunrise -> Righteous Word combination.
  Tips:

  • Use Challenge if it is necessary;
    
  • Keep effects of Righteous Word and Condemnation on target all the time;
    
  • Use Interdiction only to refresh Condemnation effect. This skill do little damage and there are better ways to spend Canons of Light.

  
  
  
• Group of mobs:
  
  

  Quoted from "Qaraur"

  = target changing.
  Start fight with Condemnation followed by Interdiction to spread DOT to all enemies. This combination will allow healers to start healing almost imidiatelly. Then you should use Righteous Word which job is to increase your aggro. It is time to change target. Use Challenge - because your Righteous Word is still on cooldown, then attack with Interdiction to refresh Condemnation effect and to hit all targets again. Another target changing followed with Righteous Word and Interdiction. Repeat last 3 steps.
  This rotation was developed with a view to be used in fights against group of mobs that can be killed in full AOE mode.
  Tips:

  • When group is harder, remember that you can use your party members to stun a few targets(ex. Mages have Ice Grave).
    
  • When there are mobs that do not care about aggro, you can use your Shining Sword or Autodafe to make them unable to attack any of your party members.

  
  
  

• You can assume that tanks keeps aggro perfectly and distribute stat points in this way:
  • 50% to Proficiency;
  • 50% to Brutality;
  This will give you the best efficiency in dealing damage.
  
• On the other hand, you can assume that tanks are also humans (Demigods but still human partly) and that sometimes you can be hit. If your average amount of Determination is more then 40% then the best way to distribute stats is:
  • 35% to Proficiency;
  • 35% to Brutality;
  • 30% to Determination;
  

Quoted from "Qaraur"

Comment: I prefer the second option. From my own experience I know that bosses have AOE skills and that not every mob care about aggro.

• Shining Sword. Rank 3. Useful, especially when you fight with a mob that is like “I don’t care about aggro, I want to kill this mage!”. It causes a similar effect to fear in PvE.
  
• Aura of Ferocity. Rank 3. Increasing damage is always good.
  
• Righteous Cause. Rank 3. Use it during boss fights. Great boost

  Quoted from "Qaraur"

  This is easy. Start with Condemnation, then use Crusader Seal twice to decrease energy cost of your next attack - Purifying Strike. This combination will give three stacks of Divine Sentence. It is perfect time to use Retribution.
  Tip: During harder fights use:

  • Righteous Cause;
    
  • Pious Anger;
    
  • Common Potion of Concentration - Alchemy potion that increases your energy regeneration.
    
  • Adrenaline Rush

  
  It will greatly increase your damage.
  

  
  
• Group of mobs:
  
  

  Quoted from "Qaraur"

  This is similar to "one target" rotation. Just use your AOE skills - Interdiction, Chastising Strike and Exhaust Evil(Orc racial) - when you can.
