How it Works

Core Mechanics

The Support Paladin has many ways of becoming a valuable team member, the MVP even.

Auras

By using Sundered Night, Vex, getting + Ranks to Aura Skills and Defiance Potency or Fanaticism Potency tempering affixes. the Support Paladin can massively boost up the value of the Aura Skills.

Damage Debuffs

Berú of Iron Conviction
- Based on the total Ranks to all our Aura Skills.

Damage Buffs

Ohm, which buffs your party's damage by 7.5%
Consecration increases damage by 7%.
Rite of Might.
Rite of Vengeance.

Healing

The Support Paladin provides an immense amount of survivability through healing. Aspect of the Light's Mending makes it so every time we detonate a Judgement we heal our allies based on our Maximum Life.

Other sources of healing are the following:

Consecration based on our Maximum Life.
Rite of Prayer based on our Maximum Life.
Rite of Mercy.

Defenses

Our Defiance Aura, with so much Aura potency provides an incredible amount of:
- Maximum Life with Maximum Life Defiance Aura.
- Armor and Resistances.
Immortality with FortressEntrench.
Aldkin's Field of Languish provides 20% Damage Reduction when active.

Tankiness

The Support Paladin is absurdly tanky, not only does it have access to everything mentioned above, but it also has the luxury of stacking Maximum Life, using Defensive Aspects and Defensive Glyphs on the Paragon Board.
