Paladin roles
There are 2 main roles a paladin can take during War of Emperium on iRO Classic.
- Full Support Paladin
- Gloria Domini Paladin
Full Support
Positioning and Play
A full support paladin will focus on keeping their designated targets sacrificed. This is most easily done by friending the targets before hand. Having proper targets is crucial to success of the guild and keeping the targets sacrificed. A paladin can comfortably keep one frontline character sacrificed along with two other characters who do not require as much reapplying sacrifice onto. It is possible to successfully keep two frontline targets sacrificed if one of them has a GTB or is a stalker with a soul linker buff to prevent sacrifice from being dispelled by an opposing scholar. Potential frontline targets include scholars, stalkers and biochemists. Important backline targets to have sacrificed would include the main minstrel, the dlp scholar, the recaller, and high wizards.
It is important to spam sacrifice onto targets as much as possible during engagements. A single dispel on a sacrifice target followed up by the enemy focusing them can result in that character dying. It is recommended to spam sacrifice on the designated frontline character twice and once on a single backline character. Keep this pattern going and alternate between backline targets during that pattern.
A full support paladin should be positioned in the middle of the guild, preferably on top of your main minstrel. This will offer the minstrel more protection from being targeted. It will also ensure that the paladin will receive all of the necessary songs from the minstrel well being in range of all of their sacrifice targets.
Tip: Hotkey first aid so that if your cast is interrupted you will not have to move before recasting sacrifice.
Tip: Do not use shield reflect when the enemy is relying on lord knights as this will allow the lord knights to bowling bash at a much faster rate.
Equipment
| Basic | Alternatives | |
|---|---|---|
| Upper head | Ramen Hat / Feather Beret | Telling Doll Hat |
| Mid head | Any slotted mid (Nightmare) | |
| Lower head | Well Chewed Pencil | Donut in Mouth / Gentleman's Pipe |
| Garment | Captain's Manteau (Raydric) | Valkyrian Manteau / Nyd Garb (Raydric) |
| Armor | +3 Dex/Vit Assaulter Plate (Marc) | +3 Dex/Vit Valk Valkyrian Armor |
| Shield | Valkyrja's Shield/ Sacred Mission (Thara Frog) | Thorny Buckler (Thara Frog) |
| Weapon | Knife (4x drops) / Combat Knife | Mjolnir* |
| Shoes | Battle Greaves (Maytr / Green Ferus) | Varriants |
| Acc 1 | Glove / Orleans's Glove (Zerom) / Medal of Honor | Hide (Smokie) accessory as a swap |
| Acc 2 | Glove / Orleans's Glove / Medal of Honor | Bison Horn (Zerom) |
Equipment notes:
- Unless the paladin is expecting to be targeted directly to receive damage, the battle ground armor set is the best by far.
- Battle grounds set (10%), Regeneration Potions (20%), Telling Doll Hat (10%), HP Recovery lv 10 (50%) all increase potion recovery rates.
- One Bison Horn should be used with Thorny Buckler to provide the combo bonus.
- DEX and ASPD should be as high as possible. A minimum ASPD of 180 is recommended with 140 DEX.
- A Hide (Smokie) accessory should be kept as a swap.
- Thorny Buckler may be detrimental against high DPS magic users. A Valkyrja's Shield can be much more effective in reducing damage taken.
- Valkyrian Manteaus are a good choice vs opponents who like to use Guillotine Fist aggressively.
Stats for DD Biochemist
| STR | 1 |
| AGI | 25 |
| VIT | 99 |
| INT | 1 |
| DEX | 99 |
| LUK | 1 |
- If using a Mjolnir, it is recommended to reduce DEX and increase AGI.
*With Mega Resist Potion an alternative hat with Stalactic Golem card can be used, such as Ulles Cap or St Patrick's Day Hat.
Skill build
DD biochemist skill build is straightforward, with Acid Bomb 10, Full Chemical Protection 4 and Aid Condensed Potion 10. This allows the chemist to help support the guild if needed.
First class skills are a personal preference, provided Enlarge Weight Limit and Push Cart are maxed out.
Full Support
Positioning and Play
The Full Support Biochemist stays in the middle of the group and will use Aid Condensed Potion when the guild is taking damage. It has high ASPD and DEX so it may cast rapidly.
The biochemist should friend targets for Full Chemical Protection prior to WoE starting and use the friend window and party window to buff their guildmates.
Likewise this allows the guildmates to use a /hi macro on Alt+# to request a Full Chem buff quickly and easilly.

Equipment notes:
- Sleep immunity is important! A nightmare Ulle's Cap can be used in place of a nightmare mid, but is not ideal.

- A Hide (Smokie) accessory should be kept as a swap. A Sight (Horong) accessory is also useful to have on standby.
