C2/Diev/Paladin3/PD is a good option?

Hello there,

I am wondering if the following set up is C2/Diev/Paladin3/PD is a good option? I am looking for a PVE build support or tanky with Paladin

STR 3 CON 1 INT 1

What do you think about this build
Thanks

Not sure if you’ll need to add int, but the class path is what I would do if I was making a pally (sooner or later)

EDIT: NO WAIT, I thought i saw PD as in Plague doctor. No I would go Plague doctor over pardoner. Better support.

I currently have this build and I’m a paladin.

I’m a more DEX than STR build, though, 2 dex for 1 str. No INT. Crits work better for smite than STR in my opinion (because the skill already has so much +ATK)

I’m currently having a few issues with DPS, if i’m fighting a demon mob, smite does a wonderful job, but anything else just takes forever.

Dievdirbys carve attack is quite awful tbh, the damage is single target and the range is god awful. Sometimes it’s very buggy too. It’s only somewhat useful against plant-type bosses (then it deals a nice damage).

I can tell you want dievdirbys for the cooldown statue to combo with resist elements and barrier. But looking back at my own build now i’m not sure i’d pick dievdirbys again. The statue is sure nice, but if i had taken a priest 1 instead I would have a nice blessing to use together with a sacrament buff bought from a pardoner in town and make my leveling life a lot easier (my auto attack would actually do something…). My DPS without smite is a joke and I just tend to run around and wait on smite cooldown to kill anything. Also, taking priest would mean nice ressurections…

I would recommend getting at least 1 level in turn undead, seeing it’s really useful in dungeons. Conversion 1 I don’t think makes much difference cause I think there’s a cap on how many mobs you can convert equal to skill level.

If you really want to go pardoner, maybe it’s a good idea to focus a bit on SPR as well. With both barrier and magic defense you have your SPR raising your magical defense twice. People say it’s awful to focus on defense / magical defense because the scaling is bad, but, if you can get 1k+ magical def and a mob hits you 4k, that’s 25% less damage and it’s not as crappy as it sounds. Plus I think if a spell hits you many times the magical defense reduces the damage for each hit (for example in magic missiles).

Getting pardoner 1 is nice to make barrier scrolls tho. People love those to do earth tower.

Hello there,

I am not a big fan of dievdirbys (I dont like it) but everybody use that… is there another useful option?

Following you idea… what do you think about this option…

SPR 2 STR 1 DEX 2

With this buidl could you off tank and the same time help your team? I am looking for a build more Off tank/Support than DPS.

I strongly suggest against getting priest c2 at rank 7. There are tons of better options and you’ll really want to try out a new class rather than going back to priest after so long.

I don’t think getting cure 1 is that useful, but that’s not a big deal.

I would rather get ressu 4 or 5, than monstrance. The DEX buff from monstrace doesn’t scale with skill level, so you can keep it at lvl 1. (I myself don’t like monstrance at all, it’s too much of a pain to recast it every 20 seconds and it takes a buff slot…)

If you want to be an off-tank, i would rather recommend you make a swordman with some class plus peltasta c1. Tanking as a paladin will be hard when looking after others cause you won’t be able to pull aggro. You might just be sturdy and hard to kill (if you have a nice CON) yourself but you’ll have a hard time tanking for someone else.

What do you think about the following build

DEX: 3 SPR: 2 STR :1 CON: 0 - 1

Any feedback is welcome.

Thanks

ps: PVE BUILD
