Blessed Aura Paladin Gearing Guide for Lost Ark

The Paladin benefits most from Swiftness with secondary Specialization. The cooldown reduction allows for an easier time maintaining its wide array of buffs for increasing damage, preventing damage, and healing. The introduction of the bracelet system presents the opportunity for a few support-focused benefits that you may attempt to roll for as well, but the stat increase is the most important area of focus.

In the early game you can use cards that help with survivability such as Field Boss II, We'll Meet Again and Forest of Giants, and Farewell, Weapon. As you progress it may be beneficial to use You Have A Plan. For the most optimal endgame damage you'll want Lostwind Cliff at 30 awakening to increase the Light damage of everyone in your party by 3.5%. This synergizes with essentially every DPS that runs Light of Salvation. Master of Spears functions the sameway at 30 awakening but increases dark damage, which can be useful for other late game content.

Engraving	Priority	Description
Blessed Aura	Necessity	This is the focal point of the Paladin, it will heal and reduce damage with Holy Aura.
Awakening	Necessity	Reducing the cooldown of your Awakening ability will allow you to apply more frequent buffs to your party and generate Piety Meter.
Expert	Very High	Increases healing and shield strength for the party. This is taken in most builds because of the amount of healing and shielding that a Paladin offers.
Vital Point Hit	Optional	Improves stagger if your party needs additional help for stagger checks.
Drops of Ether	Optional	Can drop Flash or Strength orbs to increase party members Critical Rate or Attack Power. It can be inconsistent because party members will need to locate orbs and pick them up.
Magick Stream	Optional	Although Paladins will not have mana issues, this can be a way to receive extra cooldown reduction and make it easier to have higher uptime on all buffs.

Starting in Legendary gear, you'll want the Harsh Oath set from Argos, this will provide extra Critical Hit Damage to your party and synergize with party members who are using the Preordained Diligence set to maximize their damage output. Once you start to obtain Relic gear, it is best to use the Swamp of Yearning gearset that provides buffs to you and teammates. It's the only support focused Relic set in the game.

For your Bracelet, focus on rolling as much main stat as you can. If you wish to maximize your bracelet, you may roll for additional present bonuses such as: Expose Weakness, Dagger, Cheers, or Enlightenment. Bonuses like Vitality, STR, HP Recovery, and MP Recovery can be useful.
