Paladins are expected to be able to shift between tanking and DPS roles while continuing to provide healing support as the situation warrants. (A Paladins role is support for a Warrior and his raid group) Our definition since EQ started is: “Paladins - Icons of Virtue. The Paladin combines the strength and battle prowess of a fighter with the healing and buffing of a cleric.”

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE FOLLOWING IF YOU WANT TO JOIN DILIGENCE:


Stats: Keep in mind this is a Raiding Guild. This is your purpose as a Paladin. In order to support first you must be able to stand, before you can heal, or cure anyone. This is where AC, HP, Gear, and AAs come into play explained below.

Gear: HOT End Game Raid gear is enough: Perspicuous Armor is still good until you get to T4 VOA. Unless you want to go the Cultural route which is good gear until T4

AAs: (*2500 required* well spent AAs) this is enough to get you started on your way to becoming a good Paladin raider (if close to 2500 will consider). 4k AAs is only a recommendation not a requirement, this does help to be more solid and well rounded in playing your class well.

Recommended AAs: That save your life and support others:
Restore Life
Divine Aura
Fearless
Balefire Burst
Beacon of Righteousness
Forceful Rejuvenation
Armor of the Inquisitor
Staunch Recovery
Radiant Cure
Purification
*Divine Call* is not required but if your Enchanters die where do you come in?

Being the best you can be AAs that hold you up in battle and help you support heal: (These are AAs you want to aim for) If it is marked as a * It’s a must have, if it is marked as a ** it is your goal to get it, as soon as you can. These are good AA starting points, maxing out your AAs is even better. (KEEP IN MIND THIS IS A SURVIVAL AA SETUP *FOR A LOW AA COUNT*.) You got to be able to stand to heal, cure, and benefit the group. DMG you can work on by yourself, it is a benefit to you and all of us as well.
