A Paladin is one of two "healer" classes that is essential for every group on EZServer (the other being [[Cleric]]). They heal slightly less than a [[Cleric]], since they only have access to [[Focus of Healing]], instead of [[Amplify Healing]], but they can take damage much better, which is a decent tradeoff. They are an excellent choice to put in your main group, and one of either Paladin or [[Cleric]] is essential to have in your main group.

Dwarf Paladin

What to expect from Paladins on EZServer (2023):

On EZServer the Paladin is mainly a healer and support class. Don't make a Paladin with the idea that it is going to be your main tank. If you do, you will soon find yourself unable to stay alive due to lacking the mitigation buffs that makes Warriors the only real tanking class on EZ in the long run.


The Paladin is one of four healer classes on EZServer (Cleric, Paladin, Druid and Shaman) and next to the Cleric, the Paladin is mandatory in your group(s), even more so than having more than one Cleric. The Paladins strongest feat is it's group healing proc off their Epic Augment when socketed into a weapon. On EZServer the melee attack speed is capped ~3 seconds per melee attack round. The Paladin will proc their group heal at least once per melee swing and sometimes more than once. This makes the Paladin the most sustained healing class to date. The only way to stop him from healing is if he dies or stops attacking a target. It's a popular trend on EZ to have at least one Paladin in each of your groups to keep it alive when taking damage.


The Paladin also have access to some spells that will further increase it's healing capabilities. Focus of Healing increases your healing bonus and so does the Yaulp self buffs. The Avenger spells is also useful as they buff you so you will be able to proc a group song buff that increases all party members healing effectiveness. While the Paladins main healing comes from their Epic Augment, they also get a line of healing spells with some recast delay that can be nice to use during fights. The Crabtwoshoes spells can be found in various tiers on EZServer.

Damage wise the Paladin is very low on the chart. Before you get your Ultimate Great AxeXII, which is the preferred weapon eventually, you may use a different weapon where you can socket Firestrike Augments for some extra damage.
