erm.... like all threads I've been through, I generally comment more on the skills listed more than anything. Please excuse me if im flaming at all...

1) The concept of a Paladin is a servant (in this case) of Dwayna, not the gods. I would still consider a W/Mo as a Paladin, simply because they 'fit' the description as opposed to an entirely new profession.

2) After I'm done, I would suggest you add a new Attribute class, or add in more skills to compliment the ones you have

OK^^ moving on:

I like the idea you have with this spell. Just need to fix up the language. Question: are the wards similar to those of the elementalist?

"Create a Ward against Undead. For 10...18 Seoconds all allies within the ward gain +40 armour against Undead/Afflicted, but lose -24 armour against Holy damage. All "Summoned" minions within the ward are set on fire."

Flaws & suggestions: The spell is too monster specific to be of good use in PvE, which leads to the reason why it is too much of a PvP skill. At the moment, there are no monster specific skills (unless you love Otyughs Cry... sic), which is why this idea could open up a few doors. I'd suggest having a reduction on the armour you lose against holy damage as you put more atributes in this skill. Then again, undead aren't very holy...

Overpowered. Let me search for the related skill...

Divine Intervention

Although your skill costs 10 energy instead of 5, the benefits of such is too great. Generally, doubling the energy cost results in like a 50% or 75% bonus to whatever the original skill is. So perhaps toning down the duration, or the health gained would help.

Quote:

Portal to the Underworld (10 Energy) 20 Sec Recharge
Open a Portal to the Underworld at Target foe location, after 1 Sec target foe and all nearby foe's get 50-100 Dark Damage, if Target foe's health
is under 50% you do +25 Damage

I think you'd lose favour with Dwayna if you have this skill. Typically, Dwayna is the goddess of protection and guardianship... not dark and damage, so either remove it, or put it somewhere else.

Quote:

Grenth's Mistake (15 Energy) 60 Sec Recharge
Ressurect all Nearby Party members for 100-150 Health and 0 Energy

Compare this to the existing Light of Dwayna, and this skill is far too powerful.

Actually I'll stop there, you forgot to include your casting times...

k Thnx ill edit the skills ^_^ and about that portal, i wanted to delete it but i forgot i c <.< because it doesnt fit in a 'Paladin's' skillset, its more Ritualist and if i add that Portal thing the Paladin would more be a Caster then Melee.

But the point in a W/Mo is that you dont have energy to really help your Teamm8's out, that's why i came with the Aura Idea. and with a W/Mo you cant put runes up in Mo and you dont have Divine Heal or so

And the Ward idea, it has to be Necro not Undead <.< so its very good VS Bloodspike in PvP and yes its like an ELe ward

I see potential in this concept. Less physical damage than a cut n paste W/mo, but better auras to help on defense.

A Paladin is a Holy Knight. ArenaNET could easily fix the W/Mo's to being Paladin's simply by allowing +3 mana regen.

Example: Warrior base should have +2 mana regen, if you use monk, ele, necro or ritualist, you should get +1 more mana regen for +3. They could also extend the mana bar from 20 to 25-30 depending on the secondary.

Look at Neverwinter Nights; they have the Paladin class down perfectly.

Overall, not bad, but just seem over power, and too much like a Wa/MO or MO/Wa combo.

the point of W/MO is that they don't have much energy. With their hard shell armor, they make good tanker, but not good team support. Thus the need for something like MO/WA if you want to go that route.

With that, the Dwayna's Favor's attribute just seem redundent.
Aura is what could be work further on. There are few other similar concept class posted before too, might suggest you to take a look?
