A good paladin is good at buffing and sustaining the life of your raid members. Unlike Lost Ark’s other support, such as the bard and artist (coming soon), Paladins in Lost Ark can only heal if built for it, and even then, won’t be able to spam healing in the traditional MMO way, such as Lineage and WoW. Still, their help means paladins are always popular in party finders since most people prefer DPS over supporting. Moreover, you won’t have a hard time finishing the content since most players find support, especially in the end-game raid, such as Kakul-Saydon Legion Raid and Vykas Legion Raid.
Your main role as support is making sure your team will survive by providing a big shield, damage buff, and damage reduction buff. The less they use their potions, the longer your team will survive the killing blow. Below are the skills, tripods, runes, and gems that you need to optimize your supporting potential. In addition, a lot of Lost Ark Gold and Items are essential to enhance the character, please accumulate.

Identity Skills
Paladin has two identity skills as all other classes in the game:
Sacred Executioner: Using this identity skill increases the range of basic attacks by 30%. This is recommended for DPS paladin.
Holy Aura: This is the identity skill that you will focus on as support since it provides your party members 10% damage buff in an area. This is further amplified by Blessed Aura engraving giving additional -20% incoming damage and 2% HP recovery for every 1.5s.
Supports usually use Swiftness and Specialization combat stats. The ratio of these stats can be allocated to suit different player preferences.
Swiftness Build: This is much suiter to playing randoms since this focuses on swiftness and just having specialization on your necklace. The swiftness build has less cooldown, higher movement speed, and faster cast speed compared to the Specialization build.
Specialization Build: This build is recommended for support that has a static party since you will need to be coordinated to make the most of this build. This is because your cooldown is very high, but your Holy aura has 100% efficiency and longer uptime.
Engravings for Paladin
Engravings generally dictate how optimized your build and your playstyle are, whether you’re a DPS, tank, or support. As for Paladin, there are mandatory engravings that you will need to focus on:
Remember, only have these additional engravings if you have finished getting the engravings above.
Drops of Ether: This engraving allows you to generate ether that can be picked up by your party members that grant attack damage buff, critical chance, movement speed, defense, or mana recovery.
Vital Point Hit: This increases your stagger damage done which is really helpful to end-game content such as Kakul Saydon Legion Raid or Vykas Legion Raid.
Spirit Absorption: This is recommended for Specialization Paladin since this increases your attack speed and movement speed by 15%.
Heavy Armor: If you’re not confident with your mechanical skill, this is the engraving for you. This increases your overall defense by 100% at level 3.
Playing as a Paladin in Lost Ark is a pretty exciting experience for me since they have so much survivability compared to the Bard and offers the same effect for the team. Also, you won't have to wait 15-30 minutes to find a good raid party for a specific end-game raid. If you liked this guide stay tuned for more class build guides.
