True.
Paladins by definition are protectors and upholders of peace and are said to be the embodiments of all that is holy.
And we all know what that means.
Yea you guessed right, they're not as badass as Blaze Binder who burns things away to crisps.
They defend the weak cause they're some good holy order of fanatics. Hence the damage-reduction/tank+heal skills.
NOTE: Omg let me run my mouth for a bit just have the urge to. You don't need to read this if you find it too long. Just me digging in deep with my own thoughts.
AE will oftentimes stick to lore and definition(and use obvious names), and with that as foundation they'll make-up the rest of its core and build up the class from that.
Example Lore:
Nulgath and his Fiends are creatures of the void, not undead, are powerful, but are pretty squishy(probably because they're from another world with different climates, weather conditions, atmospheric thingymajiggiys-not-earthly-feel or whathaveyou, which would also explain their form.
Dage's Legion are full of dead reincarnated warriors, (dage was a necromancer under the servitude of Nulgath formerly known as Miltonius) which explains how versatile and assorted his army is; warriors, assassins, mages, you name it- as long as they're dead or half dead, or have offered/promised their soul to dage when they pass. Anything can be(or turned) undead so they can be bulky or squishy, that really depends. One unique quality is their weakness to the holy property and that since they're dead they have no-to-little sense of pain at all making them quite endurable in the battle field.
With all that said and by that alone you can see how transparent classes appear and what each class's main purpose is.
We understand what it means to be in the void and how powerful and squishy you can be.
But the requirements speak for itself...
Warlord. Finally something to balance out that squishiness.
With that in mind, Void Warlord(or void-whateveritsnamewillbe)... well...
Let's leave the thinking to you.
I can only hope, but I can tell by its requirements alone(and that it's from the fiend/void faction) that it'll be powerful.
If not. I quote:
