Shield Charge вЂ“ Very good skill, but you only need 1 point in it.This skill becomes more useful on Legendary.

Focus вЂ“ I donвЂ™t think you need this before legendary.Resilience вЂ“ Necessary synergy for Adrenaline.

Shield Smash вЂ“ Good passive skill, more damage and decent chance to be used.

At the moment I donвЂ™t have this as I very rarely used it.

Quick Recovery вЂ“ Good skill if you have points to spend in it, IвЂ™d however only spend 1 point in it.

Rally вЂ“ Decent skill in early and mid game but even with this skill maxed and Adrenaline maxed the heal ainвЂ™t really worth it on Legendary anymore and it ainвЂ™t that good for Energy recovery either.

Adrenaline вЂ“ Good skill but the health regeneration is minimal so only 1 point here.

Armor Handling вЂ“ Very good at lower levels, however hardly useful for a melee build in late game.

Worth maxing early but in late game when you have Pulverize maxed you can drop it down to 1 point.

Batter вЂ“ This skill is awesome combined with itвЂ™s synergy.

However I donвЂ™t think you need more than 1 point in it.

Battle Awardness вЂ“ Very good when combined with its synergies aura.

Concussive Blow вЂ“ This is a pretty good skill if youвЂ™re using a mace-type of weapon and testing have shown that this does indeed lengthen the duration of all your stuns (eg.

LetвЂ™s look a bit at the Defensive Mastery first, this will be your main Mastery (meaning the most skill points will be put in this Mastery). I however think that you should go mainly Defense as there ainвЂ™t that many good skills to support a caster in the Defense tree, therefore you canвЂ™t fully benefit from your other Mastery if you choose to play the Paladin as a caster. IвЂ™ve heard many people saying that they play a more caster-oriented of Paladin. Why melee-oriented Paladin over caster-oriented Paladin? When you have those move on to the Defense Mastery and get Batter, Shield Charge, Shield Slam and so on. If youвЂ™d like to play a character with many different abilities at itвЂ™s disposal and want to try something different for a Ternion Attack-caster, then paladin is for you.ДЇor early game start with the Storm Mastery and put points in the Storm Nimbus-tree and max Storm Surge as soon as possible. Paladin seemed like an odd combination but as a great challenge as it canвЂ™t summon a tanking pet. I chose to play a Paladin after getting bored with my (over)powerer Conjurer, which retired at level 42. IвЂ™ll start by explaining why I chose Paladin and how I feel about it having played it for quite some time now.
