Job mechanics

Official Lodestone Job Guide (Always up-to-date)

Oath Gauge is Paladin's Job Gauge.

Oath Gauge

Upon learning the action   Iron Will (tank stance) at level 10, a symbol will appear on the screen indicating when it is in effect. Iron Will increases enmity gained from using other actions.

Upon learning the trait   Oath Mastery, the symbol which indicates the use of Iron Will will change to also display the Oath Gauge.

Oath increases by 5 with every auto-attack: Auto-attack for Paladin occurs every 2.24 seconds. Every ability that uses Oath consumes 50 Oath, meaning that each of these abilities can be used once every 22.4 seconds.

Oath can be used on abilities   Sheltron and its upgraded version   Holy Sheltron,   Intervention and   Cover.

Simple Mode

  Iron Will (Active)

The gauge cannot be displayed in simple mode until learning the trait   Oath Mastery at level 35.
