6. ✨ Paladin Skill Prioritization: Essential Buffs, Damage Spells, and Auras

- ✅ Salvation Aura: Maximize for 40% magic damage reduction.
- ✅ Chill Block: Maximize for increased block rating.
- ✅ Ages of Valor: Maximize.
- ❌ Wings of Freedom: Low priority; blocks one fear/stun every two minutes.
- ❌ Charge: Upgrading is a waste of experience.
- ❌ Cleanse: Useless due to lack of consequential cleansable mechanics.
- ❌ Hammer of Might: Useless; upgrading doesn't improve stun duration.
- ❌ Retribution: Useless; 15% extra damage every 30 seconds is not impactful.
- ⚠️ Vengeance Aura: Situational; can be skipped for more intelligence.
