PALADIN

(Role): Tank/ Melee Fighter

(Armor): Plate, Chain, Hide, Robes, Shields

(Weapons): One and Two-handed Maces, One and Two-handed Swords, One and Two-handed Axes, Polearms, Lances,

Also uses the system the Shadow Knight called Divine Fury. Best PvE and PvP protector. Cannot main heal, but does have healing abilities that can be useful. Have great buffs, which would be effected by damage and fighting. So your buffs grow stronger as you fight.

Paladins's weakness are that they can be Ignored to reduce their power, but Their Strength is, if Ignored for long, they Develop Great Power, to defend Ally.

Paladins are no-way a Standard healer, So trying to bring a Paladin as your group's healer in a dungeon, would be a very bad thing. They can Heal, better than most classes, but not nearly as controlled as Primary healing classes like the Cleric and Druid.

LORE

Paladin Tanking Shadow Knight

Sons of the Dragonborn

Clerics were formed after the great Tremayal’s Monk order had taken a damaging hit from the start of the Dragon Bound. Tremayal’s Bishops decided the only way to survive such a savage onslaught was to take in the defensive arms training of a Knight. This was a vigorous task for his Monks, whom were weak at strength, but strong at heart. After countless years of exchanged Training between the Monks and Knight warriors, the Cleric and Paladin order was formed. Monks trained in arts of Melee Defense and usage of Heavy Armor became the Cleric and the Knight warrior trained in the mental and spiritual arts of the Bishop, thus the Paladin was formed. Tremayal created a new holy order, calling it, “The Sons of the Dragonborn” made up of Honored Clerics and Honored Paladins. Tremayal took his place as the order’s great Leader and Paladin. Only the most Honored and Respected members of the people are chosen to take place in the secret kept rituals in the Holy Training within the halls of the Dragonborn.

Paladins

Paladins are holy warriors, empowered by the gods of Light and Fire to bring and safeguard goodness throughout the realm. Paladins are Holy Zealots that wreak cruel justice on foes. These Holy Warriors mentally train themselves to be fearless even to the vilest of creatures. A Paladin calling forth the wrath of the heavens themselves is a deadly foe for any evil adversary. Faith is a Paladin’s shield.

Mechanics

Divine Fury

Uses the Fury System similar to my Shadow Knight Idea, called Divine Fury, but unlike The Shadow Knight’s Terror system, the Paladin’s Divine Fury doesn’t deplete over time, and it auto regenerates over time like the other Fury Classes. Divine Fury recharges over time, similar to the current Energy system but at a slower rate. Divine Fury, also regenerates by both Taking Damage and defending your ally. Crusader’s Challenge Taunt System Paladin and Shadow Knight can call Divine Challenges on their enemies to provoke them to attack themselves instead of the ally around them. These Taunts effects will have different effects in PvP and PvE

COMMENTS FROM AUTHOR:

Paladins ARE NOT simply a Warrior/Monk.

I know many people here seem to think that Dual Class system can make any class, but that’s just a gimmick. Because using that same logic, we all could say, a Necromancer is not a needed class, because a Ritualist/ Mesmer is basically the same idea.

But I am sure Many would disagree on that, because THEY DON’T FIGHT THE SAME!! Even though they both share the same concept, does not in any way make them the same. It is nothing more than a Silly Illogical Argument, that I would like to see gone.

Again another example:

Some people would say a Ritualist is nothing more than a Necromancer/Monk, which is isn’t as we can see already.

So please, do not make silly arguments like that in the feedback. I gave my Class idea its own Combat system Mechanics, and Role Playing Spells and abilities. So again I will repeat.

Paladin is NOT a Warrior/Monk!

I enjoy playing Crusader Knight Classes, and would really enjoy Guild Wars 2 if it has both Holy Crusader Knights and Unholy Crusader Knight Classes.

Update: Anyway there wont be Dual Classes , so there. Cant make a W/M anyway.
