Combat Skills
20: Blessed Hammer - your main skill.
20: Holy Shield - boosts defense, and also helps you achieve max block and a faster block rate.
1: Smite (prereq) - is, on occasion, useful for stunning enemies.
1: Charge (prereq) - sometimes nearly as useful as teleport for getting around.
1: Holy Bolt (prereq) - can heal allies.

Offensive Auras
20: Concentration - boosts hammer damage sky-high, and is your main aura.
20: Blessed Aim - just a synergy to blessed hammer.
1: Might (prereq) - not very useful.

Defensive Auras
20: Vigor - a synergy to blessed hammer, and is extremely useful for getting around town, since it boosts not your run/walk speed, but your overall velocity! Also it's sometimes useful for getting around out of town with party members who can't teleport. 
1 (unless you pass level 93): Defiance (prereq) - boosts holy shield
