Lost Ark Paladin Leveling Guide

The Paladin is one of the most sought-after classes in Lost Ark due to his impressive ability to deal damage and assist. Most of his holy skills can be outfitted with support abilities that trigger upon hitting enemies or have such a massive area of effect that the party is nearly guaranteed to get the bonus.

In these ways, he outshines the Bard, which is generally considered to be a slightly stronger support unit but needs precise targeting and can't help out much at all in the damage department. This sounds great for the endgame, but if Lost Ark gamers can't survive to see the endgame, it's all an exercise in futility.

Paladins are nearly expected to support in late-game raids and dungeons, but while leveling, support is next to meaningless. The Paladin's support skills aren't strong until he gets access to more skill points and that's not going to happen until well after hitting fifty.

Melee skills are nice for some classes but they just aren't quite what they need to be for the Paladin. They are slow and often put the character in unnecessary danger. And, counter to how support classes work in other games, there is not a convenient method for the Paladin to heal himself or anybody else for that matter.
