Paladin
Monk
ShamanOverview
Documented from Doc Legendary's comprehensive guide and Nagafen kill video during July 2026 open beta (post-July-14 patch). Compiled guide, not an official write-up. Paladin primary.
All-content solo build — leveled 1–50 and raid-capable. Proof kill: Lord Nagafen solo at level 47, video on the creator's channel.
The Smite engine is the loop: smite on cooldown lowers Lay on Hands' cooldown from 90 minutes to as little as ~5, giving repeated emergency heals per fight. Monk adds constant melee DPS, Improved Mend (30% HP, crits for 60% — a second mini Lay on Hands), and avoidance. Shaman covers slow (the spell to upgrade with motes first — duration and cast time scale hard), heals one level behind the cleric line, and cannibalize-style sustain. Auto-skills toggled on for bash/kicks/smite. Quick Buff + saved spell loadouts for the buff-swap-fight cycle.
