Volvo Project

Background

This group originally started out as an idea between TacoSupreme and Erikkson.

Me and Erikkson wanted to see how an all paladin group would work. We are going to try and put one together to play for a few hours each week. It can't really take off till we get access to all the auras and blessings but it sounds interesting. In a hard boss fight you could all go invulnerable as needed and have 5 lay on hands available if needed. Many Consecrations can be active to help AoE the non elites.

The plan involves having each Paladin specialize in one Aura and one Blessing so that five of each are active at any given time.

Auras
Concentration Aura
Devotion Aura
Retribution Aura
Sanctity Aura
Resistance Aura - Well we need a 5th aura

Blessings
Blessing of Light
Blessing of Sanctuary
Blessing of Wisdom
Blessing of Kings
Blessing of Might

The 4 below Blessings are situational and can be fired as needed.
Blessing of Sacrifice
Blessing of Protection
Blessing of Freedom
Blessing of Salvation

There are 5 talent builds with a focus on improving each blessing and aura if possible (and getting the ones that require a talent).

The Group

The 5 paladin roles are with the current people behind the toons
