3How do you want to fight other players?

A two-hander, Holy damage from Seals and Judgement, and heals whenever you need them. The easy way to level a Paladin.

Heals itself, rarely dies, and Vengeance at 30 adds a lot of damage.

Few ranged attacks and no interrupt, so casters can be annoying.

You quest with your weapon and Holy Shock and heal every group you join. Slower alone, welcome everywhere.

Heals any dungeon on the way, and Holy Shock at 30 hits enemies or heals friends.

Kills much slower than Retribution when you are alone.

Leveling alone is slower than Retribution, so pick it if you heal a lot of dungeons on the way.

Gather a pack, stand in Consecration and let your blocks refill your mana. Strong once Templar's Bulwark and Holy Shield arrive.

Kills whole packs at once from 30 and is very hard to kill.

Slow before 30, and in the first levels a two-hander hits harder.

Slow on your own before Templar's Bulwark at 30, so most Paladins level as Retribution.

A tough front-line healer: big heals on the tank, and from 40 Light's Vigil heals the whole party.

Strong heals on one target, great blessings and lifesaving cooldowns.

No group heal until Light's Vigil at 40, and Holy Light costs a lot of mana.

Consecration holds whole packs and Judgement with Seal of Fury taunts. You tank with mana, not Rage.

Great at holding several mobs at once, and your blocks give mana back.

Long pulls drain your mana, and pulling from range is hard.

Two-handed damage plus the best blessings in the group. Consecration on packs, Holy Strike and Judgement on bosses.

Brings blessings, auras and emergency heals to every group.

A small mana pool, long fights can leave you dry.

Stun, judge and hit hard. Hammer of Justice and Repentance control, your heals keep you in the fight.

Big burst with Seal of Command on stunned targets, and you heal yourself.

No interrupt and few ranged attacks, so kiting classes can keep you away.

A plate healer that is hard to kill, with stuns, freedom and bubbles for your team.

Plate armor, Divine Shield and Blessing of Freedom keep you and your team alive.

Your damage is low, and a good caster can lock you out of healing.

A shield and Templar's Bulwark on a base or next to your flag carrier. Very hard to kill.

Extremely hard to kill, great for defending bases and flag carriers.

Low damage, you hold the ground but rarely win fights alone.

Made for defending bases and flag carriers, for other PvP pick Retribution or Holy.

Not sure? Take Retribution. It levels fastest and still heals you between fights.

Not sure? Take a recommended one. Healers and tanks find groups the fastest.

Not sure? Take Retribution to fight or Holy to heal. You can switch any time.
