I’m using Diev 1 Paladin 3 PD 1. That’s what I thought was the best for me and it’s working as I expected.
Laima helps the party a lot and improves your dps as well. Even if there’s another Diev (which is not always) bosses and mobs might move a lot, statues might get destroyed, so it’s not that bad to have extra Laimas. Also Carving does give a good dps in Leather type. Zemyna helps with sp cause you do use a lot with Smite low CD (Carve is not that high either). God Smash and Breaking Wheel will have a 50s if I’m not wrong? You can reduce 7s in it (Laima takes like 3s to carve).
PD’s healing factor I use for myself as I’m a physical dps, helps me not be concerned of being killed so easy and also not using heal tiles that much. Bloodletting in some mobs with freeze, sleep, poison does its trick. Fumigate also is good as Bloodletting prevent, Fumigate cure. Pandemic can also help to spread debuffs from your party to othe mobs, even Conviction debuff which has very small area.
Priest can work for Monstrance and Ress for your party, mostly ress tbh as monstrance is quite boring to keep up and sometimes it may not be good for you party members (not many meele dps, overbuff).
Monk will bring dps filler as Smite + God Smash (even if you add Carve here) will let you in auto atk for some time, but in boss fights it may not be a problem.
Diev 2 will bring longer Laima and World Tree which is quite nice but long CD. Priest 2 will have Revive which is awesome and Sacrament (ppl die and lose their Pardoner buffs sometimes), Mass Heal 5 helps for desperate healing moments. And about Kabbalist 1 the only massive pro in PVE is Ein Sof mana battery, really. R7F works well in boss fights.
Just highlighting the pros but, tbh, I also have a Priest 3 Paladin 3 and Priest works well with SPR. For a physical dps Paladin, you won’t have points left to put in SPR to make it nice as you need DEX/STR. With Priest the Paladin becames more of a support rather than dps, in my opinion.
