  1. Level 60 — 1 point in Divine Strength IconDivine Strength
  2. Levels 61 to 65 — 5 points in Redoubt IconRedoubt
  3. Level 66 to 68 — 3 point in Precision IconPrecision
  4. Levels 69 to 70 — 2 points in Guardian's Favor IconGuardian's Favor

Redoubt IconRedoubt will not help much, as you will not often be wearing a shield, but you will never be using Devotion Aura because of how much of a damage increase Sanctity Aura grants. Precision IconPrecision increases your chance to hit both with melee attacks and spells, allowing you to itemize for more damage. Guardian's Favor IconGuardian's Favor greatly lessens the cooldown of your Blessing of Freedom and Protection, which have strong uses both in parties or solo.

List of Trainer Skills to Buy

It is important to buy all abilities as you level as they are cheap and Paladins have quite a few abilities that are extremely powerful in certain situations and you never know when you will need them.
