"Become the embodiment of holy resilience. The Juggernaut turns defense into divine offense—each blow absorbed fueling an even greater retribution. Stand firm, unyielding, and let the armies of Hell break upon you."
This Paladin has always been a classic choice if you want to be tanky, you can choose to be a formidable frontliner that can withstand the hordes.
"Rain down celestial punishment from above. The Judicator commands the Light’s destructive potential, unleashing holy bombardments that chain through enemies like a divine tempest, cleansing corruption in brilliant fire."
Playing defensively isn't your only option; however, you can wield the light to cast holy spells that light the battlefield ablaze.
"Fuel your faith through unrelenting fury. The Zealot rushes headlong into battle, wielding fervor and conviction as both weapon and armor—each strike burning brighter, each victory feeding the flame of devotion."
If spellcasting isn't your style, you can dive in with flaming strikes with a fury that a Barbarian would take note of.
"Channel the purest form of Light to ascend into Angelic Form, gaining divine speed and righteous clarity. Move like a blade of light through the ranks of the damned, and let every strike serve as divine judgment."
Paladins can tap into incredible speed with their Angelic Form, unlocking a suprisingy level of mobility.
