Paladin - Defensive Auras / Offensive Auras / Combat Skills

Offensive Auras †

Protection From Evil †

Required Level

1

Prerequisites

None

A new ES skill

Sanctuary is replaced by this skill. LoD items with Sanctuary are spawned with PfE in ES.

Difference from Sanctuary

Knockback and Magic Damage also works against Demons and Animals. Melee bonus also works against Demons. No negating resistance of Undead.

Pros

Knockback prevents the caster from getting mobbed. Effective against all kinds of enemy. Decent melee bonus.

Cons

Knockback can be annoying to melee characters. The melee bonus only affects the caster of PfE.

Synergies

Might: +5% Damage vs. Undead/Demon Per Level
Fanaticism: +5% Damage vs. Undead/Demon Per Level
Cleansing: +8% Aura Magic Damage Per Level
Holy Bolt: +8% Aura Magic Damage Per Level
Blessed Hammer: +8% Aura Magic Damage Per Level
Fist of the Heavens: +8% Aura Magic Damage Per Level

Annihilation †

Required Level

1

Prerequisites

None

A new ES skill

Blessed Aim is replaced by this skill.

Pros

Both Crushing Blow and Skill IAS are very effective.

Cons

It's not difficult to gain much Crushing Blow by items in ES.

Synergy

Might: +2% Crushing Blow Per Level

Thorns †

Required Level

6

Prerequisites

Protection From Evil (1)

Difference from the LoD version

Improved damage return. Also grants Open Wounds and Prevent Monster Heal to the party.

18

Prerequisites

Summon Anointed Bear †

Required Level

30

Prerequisites

Protection From Evil (1), Annihilation (1), Thorns (6), Might (18), Concentration (18)

Difference from Summon Grizzly

Has AR, Def, Life and Damage bonuses which is equal to the passive bonuses of Druid summons. Reported to have a less agressive AI (unconfirmed). Improved damage and run/walk speed.

Pros

Native summoning skill is always nice. Even a low level Bear is useful to control crowds and attract fire. A high level one can deal decent damage.

Cons

Reported to have a less aggressive AI.

Synergies

Has mild diminished return. -Resist is capped at -130% and -Defense is capped at -80%.

Pros

Still the strongest immune breaking skill in the game.

Cons

Can't lower Magic and Poison resist. Because of Conviction mercenary and oskill Conviction, activating Conviction for yourself isn't absolutely necessary any longer.
