Another "Paladin with wrong build" topic

So, I’m basically another Paladin fan that chose this class, but did the wrong build(or not).
I went Cleric1→Priest2→Pala3.
I’m at lvl 90 doing a STR/DEX build oriented to PVP. And yeah, I know that Pala is a Suport not DPS class.
Could somebody help me? Would Smite lvl 15 make me do something in PVP or should I make a new one?

(Sorry for any mistakes. English is not my native language)

Might be too early to consider as a failed build. Yours could still be viable at later ranks. It’s best to take advice from ones who’ve went the same route.

If you like it, play it.
A Pala isn’t a PVP-oriented class anyway, you’ll be busy supporting your team anyway as a Cleric to Smite that often.

Would it work in all dungeons or teams would prefer a “Full suport”(C2 Cleric/C3 Priest)?
And late game damage is at least decent to solo?

Pally definitely decent to solo.
Pally definitely good to support parties.
Full support cleric/priest with bad player is useless.

I already played with cleric2/priest2, cleric1/priest3, cleric3/priest1, and I can confidently say more than half of them are near useless.
If they prefer the bad players, their loss not yours.

Pally > Monk for dungeon team support if they know how to play.
Otherwise can find bad players supporting team worse than Monk.

Dont worry too much about it being a “failed build” cus its definetly viable for solo play,as well as dungeons.
I would max out smite since as a STR/DEX paladin it is one of your biggest sources of damage.
In dungeons you can both contribute to the dps and throw out your heals to help the group with little effort (as well as those awesome auras).

Only thing that is different for paladins compared to a more healing oriented spec is that you need to work harder to save people when they stand in the fire ^^

Also if you decide that you dont want to use the character for pvp in late game you can just pick up pardoner as your last rank and sell barrier scrolls for lots of cash :slight_smile:

I’m play Paladin with build cleric c2 > priest c2 > paladin c3
I think it not wrong build. It good support and you can play them build but If you don’t need focus on support, you should go to another build. I recomment because priest + paladin is full support not dps

@piano_alice did you wish you take paladin earlier?
Like Cleric > Priest2 > Paladin3 > Cleric2
or
Cleric2 > Priest > Paladin3 > Priest2?

I’m recomment
Cleric2 > Priest > Paladin3 > Priest2
or
Cleric2 > Priest > Paladin2 > Priest2 > Paladin3

because healing lv10 from cleric c2 is useful than priest c2 but priest c2 have mass heal it like second healing for survival you and team and revive for save your team. but this build is very sacrifice damage skill, If you focus on dps I don’t recomment for you

Or another choice you can make this build
Cleric1 > Priest 2 > Paladin3 > Pardoner 1 for sell barrier scroll is make a lot of money for you in the future.

I swear anything’s viable with Plague Doctor, lol.

I would make a Paladin but with a lot of +Fire/Ice/Lightning/Poison Property Damage utilizing Conviction debuff and Blessing and Sacrament.

[theorycrafting]

Flame Sword [+169 Fire DMG]
+Karacha [+153 Fire DMG]
or Venom [+178 Poison DMG] Dagger

or Ledas Shield [+102 Ice DMG]
or Otrava Shield [+126 Poison DMG]

Virtov Plate Set [+26 Ice DMG]

[Cafrisun would be nice too - for more deeps, but less survivability… xd]

And Hair Costumes with +Elemental Property Damage on it.

You could have upto or over +500 F/L/I/P Prop. DMG… imagine the deeps with Conviction debuff… :heart_eyes:

Dievdirby would’ve been really nice DPS wise with Carve Attack but Priest is good too.

Should I go Priest C3 after Pala1?
StoneSkin+Resist Elements looks kinda OP.
The only problem would be skipping Plague Doctor… I’m completely lost. Dunno If making a C2/Diev/Pala3 would be better… T-T

Plague Doctor fancy skills > Stone Skin.
Just have fun with what you have. Cleric1 > Priest2 > Pala3 is already good for support. Add a PD on top of it and you’ll have more fun.
Stone Skin without SPR is mainly to help lower levels.
Even if Healing Factor’s nerf comes over to iToS, incinerate and healing factor are still good. And who doesn’t want status immunity?
