Defensive Auras is the Second of the Paladin's Skill Trees, and encompasses a number of skills, each with its own specific protective effect. As the name suggests, the skills contained therein are primarily defensive, though some have a healing/regenerating effect, such as Meditation or Prayer. For the Paladin, the Defensive Auras are of great importance in multiplayer games because of their ability to protect/affect other party members. As with the Offensive Auras, the Defensive Auras are great in single-player, but really shine when they can be applied to a team.
