PALADIN CLASS / CHARACTER GUIDE
Hehehe it's about time eh? Time for me to share the many tips and trade secrets of the paladin class x] here i will explain the many different types of paladin and ways to utilize skills of a paladin in this era of allods.
Tanking
First of all i'll start out with a tank paladin! There are many different routes that can be taken with a tankadin. Ones of which heighten dps , one that heightens your healing, and those that focus on dps as well or simply an off tank for those who buddy up with warriors 24/7. In these builds the main focus is you always want to keep aggro using your condemnation. Heals like wave of life, Faiths grace help you generate aggro as well. If theres anytime you accidently lose aggro challenge will be there to save ur arse but remember to keep on hitting to knab that aggro
Full tanking
First off Heres my idea of a full tank. A big meatsack as you will xD, I recommend this build for the newer paladins that want to ease into tanking. In this build you focus as being a core tank taking big hits and reducing it all to 0, as well as keep your hp full 24/7 with the healings skills that faiths grace, and wave of life offers, In dire straits you use your heavenly nova or healing touch.
(only use healing touch if you plan on using the patronage skill or near the beginning of a fight, very helpful as an off heal as well as it adds a 20% bonus to heals with the holy flare ruby)

Aoe Tanking
Next off is what i'd like to call an Aoe Tank. Yes! paladins can aoe tank hehe, for this set it's rather gear dependant as you will really good armor and relatively good stats to pull this off i recommend this build for the more experienced tanks. In this build YES! you will have sacred sunrise which will be your main skill, use it always unless your really in need of intensive healing, then simply switch to retribution for the WoL, Though Faiths grace should be perfectly good enough to heal you up. In this build to prevent losing aggro from multiple mobs you'll have to have your friends pick off the mobs 1 by 1 until about 15ish% of thier hp is gone which is when you should have absolute aggro, then it's good game.
here is an example of this build in action

Here is the link to the AOE build:

(you may use the talents in any way you want really to your prefrence)
Offtanking
Next off is offtanking, where you can tank most bosses, big bosses may be a bit tougher but all in all you will be able to fend them off and buy time for your party. In this build you can focus more on dealing dps as well but usually if your starting out new, most parties dont go for the offtank kinda guy. In this build you can pose as a main tank and offtank dps just as good ;p
Mainly you want to focus on Breaking your shields asap with the big hits 30k+ you wanna save for vindication always account for the % of damage you will take from using the skill, Main tanks and healers will love you for having healing touch having a 20% buff to thier heals makes thier job all the more easier. and if the Main tank falls you'll have your battle rez to save the day! to survive in this build your main skill will be retribution/ Wave of life which will keep you alive, but remember to have condemnation up as well :]

DPSing/Pvping With a Paladin
Dpsing with a paladin is simple. main stats you'll want are str finesse and luck. Str will determine your dots, finesse determines how much your basic hit will suffice against armor and luck to ofc crit. With a paladin you can roll with just 25-30% luck as you can boost your crit chance with rage of the righteous which will beef up your retribution+ Crusader blow by 125% more then double if you choose to pick up the full set. These 2 skills will pretty much be your main dps skills x]
Physical dps
This physical dps build is the brood of all dps builds lol, straight up just dps, no tanking no blahblah. Just Pain; lawl I recommend this build to experienced pallys that have nothing to do but GT or Raids, or the pvp goer or just those who want to dps instead of having to tank.
In this build we focus on the 2 main skills that will be your cream of the crop We focus on the maximizing of crits with the full set of Rage of the Righteous, which will guarantee every hit from CB and Ret will crit considering your luck is 35% or above. thats really all there is too it bashing out 50k crusader blows and 100k rets with (crit dmg) unless your really packing gear where i hit around 150k rets and 67k cb on the regular and when you get 40k+ dmg in your shield vindication will be your best friend once again x]
http://allodsbase.com/en/talents#_28x3f ... 820g414fh4
you can put the last rubies in whatever you seek fit the basic fit of the build is there
and for the last 2 stat points + the 2 from hitting 42 into either r3 nova or solomn prayer and the leftovers however you seek fit. You can also drop condemnation and challenge completely if your going to be pure dps and put them into whatever you seek fit in this build all you do is dps lawl
Support DPS
Support dps is very simple do relatively high dps but able to support your pt with supplemented heals and extra knick knacks pallys have.
http://allodsbase.com/en/talents#_28x3f ... e20o41kf10
with this build you will do just a tad lower dmg and be able to help your pt out with strong heals and healing touch with the ruby will also beef up your parties heals by 20% which is a huge number considering how much healers heal for now a days. with the last 2 stat points of 42 put em into nova ofc for r3 and extra rubies do whatever your preference is.
PVP DPS
This build is for you guys that have a bloodlust for pvp but also want to do good dps in pve
http://allodsbase.com/en/talents#_29x3f ... 820g414f10
in this build its pretty much the same principle cept you have alot less crit without the rotrs but your dmg will still be substantial with finesse rubies and you can hit them armor classes substantially as well.
The HEY! dont stun me build
this build is for pure pvp fun lol. you wont be getting stunned at all or very rarey with the willpower you'll be kicking around. this build is recommended for those experienced pallys with very willpowery gear
http://allodsbase.com/en/talents#_28x3f ... 8afi414f10
me and a pal have tested this build for the luls and the turn out was pretty halarious, spamming lvl 3 strike of justice and stunning my pal was like impossible lol, and if the stuns did work they were reduced to like a few seconds, very helpful against warriors too since they cant stun you and thier disarms are reduced drastically. Considering you have alot of willpower if you have over 570 willpower you'll never get stunned
, and if you have a pvp trinket 
The ZOMG RUN AWAY BUILD
heh with this build you get to finally play around with lust for revenge which kicks up your speed substantially we've tested out the ruby and it actually beefs up speed alot more then it actually says it does even with just R1 paired with a jug ruby you'll be zoom zoom zooming away out of danger. this build is for pvp and for the lulz
http://allodsbase.com/en/talents#_29xdu ... 8udi414f10
with this build you'll avoid practically any stun and outspeed any class that you'll want to escape, or in some cases Chase down
Class Strategies
Here is where i discuss class strategies, how paladins can beat other classes so it gives you a chance in the big world of PvP.
Paladin Vs Warrior
Suggested wep: Sword and board, 2h for the lower geared peeps lol
Pallys vs Warriors a big spectacle fight
With warriors oh boy lol. Really most of the time Pallys only die because of the annoyance of the bonk stun lol. Otherwise they could just shield out the high dmg. In that case the only way is have either high willpower or avoid the stun lol, to those who cant survive the stun, simply use tactics similar to a summoner oddly enough haha, circle around them and dish out Retribution and then simply kite em every chance you get till you get SOJ then just gong show till the stun wears out and continue to kite and keep ret at 3 stacks. with the reinforced skulls folk it might take alot longer.other then that a warrior can get pretty simple Goal is to frustrate them and live. For that Faiths grace kicks into key as well if a warrior hits you for a good high amount grace will give ya nice heal which will have warriors face palming haha. Remember as long as they arent hitting you they arent gaining combat advantage ;p
Paladin Vs Mage
Suggested weapon: Sword and Dagger/Sword and board.
Fighting a mage? heh. with mages tactics are fairly simple, there are multiple ways you can go with this. 1 is by what i like to call EAT IT. Lmao with this tactic you basically sit there and frustrate the mage by running around just crusader blow, condemnation, and retribution whenever you can and try to knock out the illusions and barriers, save your stun till you know you can use it. Which if you do properly and tank it out the mage will be out of mana and most importantly no defenses which then you can open up a full combo of a stun cbcbcb penance, cbcbcb retribution and finish off however you see fit. Only thing you have to avoid is Elemental wrath and meteor if you have low ele res in these cases save up Deliverance because they can only use these skills every so often which should be plenty of time if you balance your shields properly. If you have any form of endurance then you'll be in for fun because they wont be able to crit as often to restore mana ;]
Paladin Vs Summoner
Suggested wep: Sword+ daggger for the ballsey paladin, sword and board
Summoners will probably be the most annoying class you'll ever face in the game for most pallies, but there is one way to gain the upper hand lol. First of all to avoid them kiting you which is the prime reason a pally would die 1v1 lol, Second NEverrr go for the pet unless the summoners dps is super inferior, even then dont even bother lol. ofc just go at the summoner with the simple solution Retribution with triple stacks :] after that follow up with SOJ and keep him stunned(works best for the cooldown rubyerz) IF you have a Shriveled heart trinket from DBC heroic you've got another ace in the hole that you can use on thier pet to get a decent heal. If your dealing with a wound complexity summoner try not to panic, During the stuns retributions heals should get you enough+ when in doubt NOVA with nova chance it'll heal ya to the full extent through complexity if your lucky.theres a chance those wound high summoners have somewhat lower dps then other summoners so thats another++. To avoid fear those are obvious pop Courage ;p, Pop it at the beginning of the fight as you charge cause after you charge theres a chance you can get feared on contact :O which will throw off ur combo and if you have the judge trinket thats another few seconds of fear avoiding+it'll help avoid the annoying disarm from the pet: note when you get disarmed just toss Word to mark him by then your wep should be back make sure to keep chasing them down cause luckily they'll still have 3 stacks on and if ret ever drops to 2 stacks use only 1 cb ret to refresh it to 3 stacks.if you should survive a longer period of time, Your in luck because the summoner will be OOM and wont be able to toss up blood aegis and from there its a gong show lol, willpower High sets will help a from debilitating, stuns, and disarms and the annoyance of control effects they contain lol
Paladin Vs Healer
Suggested Wep:2Hander for Full healers/sword and dagger for the wound complexity high pallies, Sword and board for Melee Healers
Healers are fun ;D again many tactics to ensure victory, especially if your an elf only 1 word for you elves out there PRIOUSBRANDkthxbai, lawl anyways. other tactics for those who dont enjoy prancing around as an elf are more interesting, simply stack up for penance and that'll prevent healing every now and then, if you can break shields quickly enough then you'll be fine because most melee healers on thier own OOM in only a few hits cause they choose to use holy rage, so make sure your shields steer clear of the low dmg, try and make them blow thier bubble early on so it can ensure that they have no last resort x]
