The defensive auras will really help you throughout your game
as a Paladin. The left branch in this series will help you to regain your life
and mana quicker. Look forward to the more advanced skills in this branch, they
will help to keep you in check. Defiance in the middle branch could prove ot be
very useful, as it strengthens your AC. Do not overlook the last branch, it
could be vital to your life. These are broken down into the 3 major resistances,
and a final one that allows for a resist all effect(fire, cold, lightning, and
posion) called Salvation. Note a possible strategy here: If you can tough it
out, you may want to save or use points elsewhere until level 30 and just add
pints to Salvation(Also see how there is only a Clvl requirement, so you do not
have to worry about adding points to previous resistances.
