C2 Paladin vs C2 Monk

Is the C3 skils from paladim worth it for damage (pve) or does c2 paladin + c2 monk a better oprion. ty

Paladin is by far the best as paladin3 for a str/dex build.

Not sure about int builds yet.

I want to know how good of a buff is Resist Element and Restoration(with bonus attribute SP recovery)

Can someone who has experience tell us how good this 2 skills are?

But monk skills also scales well in str/dex build. Actually, for me, it scales better since all their skills are physical damage and critical is the best assets of Physical DPS because of monsters defense.

Sorry my bad, i meant paladin is the best as paladin3 for a str/dex build.

Barrier is one of the best defensive skills, you get better scaling on smite, the bonus with conviction + smite and a extra aoe dmg skill.

I’m now Cleric>Priest>Priest2>Paladin

i wanna go monk
is better Pala 2 monk2
or pala1 monk2/3 or something else?

I agree with @Wurmheart, Paladin’s best to offer is it’s C3 skills. C1 & C2 skills are pretty lame or lack the worth against PVE (but in PVP, magic resistance is a huge plus)

Not just you get the benefits of having Conviction + Smite but Barrier as well.

The problem with your question is C2 Monk has the following advantages over Paladin:

  1. Double Punch is spammable and its not consuming SP but Sta rather
  2. Palm Strike is an AOE skill and has bleeding (helps a lot for high hp enemies and even mobs)
  3. Hand Knife offers Armor Break (which is good since your attack are physical damage)
  4. One Inch Punch offers silence as well…
  5. Energy Blast shines bright in your eyes (hehe! I can see Gokou in my character XD) and does a good mob damage

The pros for having Palading C3 would be:

  1. Conviction makes your elemental weapon stronger (there’s a good equipment combination for this)
  2. Smite is spam-able for it’s 6 second cool down.
  3. Barrier is a unique skill that you can’t get from any other classes (you can protect your long range teammates because of this)
  4. Resist elements really shine in PVP since mages deals great damage (as they runaway/kite you)

As you can see, both are not bad but depends on your preference…

If you will go Paladin C3, you’ll probably do auto attack damage most of the time.
As for Monk, you can use the Energy-blast-mob-gameplay + Skill combintations (Hard Knife + Palm strike + One Inch Punch Combination) + then do auto attack damage…

Conclusion:
Monk really OP Paladin when it comes to dealing physical damage. Even the skill combination really outshine Paladin. But Paladin is very unique on its own way. It offers a different way of playing it. But be reminded that there are so many players going the monk path. Sometimes, it’s not pleasing to the eye seeing many player doing your build. Also, Monk cannot protect its teammate like Paladin c3 do. In higher level (250+) Paladin would survive better and a much better choice in party dungeon than monk.

P.S.

I’m also choosing between the two… Currently Priest C2 and is still confuse but I’ll probably depends it my ideal game play.

Mate i would prefer playing pvp,what u think is better monk 2 or pala 3?

Neither one is good, but Paladin is worth investing toward C3 because of Barrier. There is no other classes that can outclassed Paladin at the moment for special raid like Earth Tower.

Comparing between Paladin and Monk, you are more likely will have a hard time finding party for Earth Tower as Monk.

Is pala c3 good in pvp? i’m cleric>priest2>paladin Now
and if i go pala 3 what i mnust class next?

Your best bet after C3 Paladin is Plague Doctor, this is recommended because Plague Doctor offers massive defensive utilities + Immunity skills against Wizard or classes with large amount of disables.

Paladin PvE/PvP

From my previous experiences during KOBT, Paladin is extremely annoying on the PvP because…

  • Paladin can used barrier to block your escape route. (Broken synergies with Diev 20% Cooldown reduction).
  • Amazing synergies with Smite knock with other classes.
  • Offer the best element resistances/nullify in party against Wizard.
  • High burst damage
  • Extremely tanky and literally considered to be last one to die on the battle field.

Thank you,i was looking for this.
Any idea for the stats now i’m currently dex str builded for questing.

You have quite a few options for stats build

STR + CON Ratio 1:1 with Critical/DEX gears (More damage with decent critical rate)

STR + CON +DEX Ratio 1:1:1 with mixture of element gears (Standard build)

I recommended that you leave CON at 40 or 60 and invests the rest of your stats point into STR to enhance your DPS further into late-game scaling.

However, if you prefer DEX for high-critical build, I would leave DEX at 200 and pool the rest of the stats points into STR.

what u think is better i read that the elemental build is op with conviction,u have some idea with the one is better?

Probably not at the time being.
