Isnt the Ice Shield better than Arde Dagger because ull be more tanky this way?
Paladin would be viable for high endgame content for both PVE and PVP/GVG?
Hi, Is this build still viable?
I have a Cleric C1 Priest C2 Pally C1 i was thinking go C3 pally into Kabbalist or C3 Priest. But now seeing the utility of Diev i am tempted to pick up Diev C1 next level.
I am currently dealing what feels like really strong damage as i can 2-3 shot most any mob with a dex build almost identical to this one. Priest i great for the 30% dex buff so i will never need to go over 140-160 dex depending on how i build. Plus with C2 you get revive which is crazy good as a party buff.
I did the math and currently i heal for 50% per double heal dropped or 50% if i just hit 2 targets with mass heal. (Honestly not seeing how thats not enough healing) but if my math serves correctly i would gain an additional 10% healing from both with Dievs cooldown reduction. (1/5 of 50% = 10%) Which ammounts to 20% total as both cooldowns would be effected. Granted i would also be losing healing factor which is likely an incredible ability.
In your opinion, which is better cleric2 - diev1 or yours path?
How much points in stat did you invest for each attributes?
Thanks.
Build path is fine but I wouldn’t recommend statting DEX for this build. It’s better off going Full STR, from my experience.
Cleric2>Diev1/Priest1>Paladin1>Monk1>Paladin3 is better if you want to play a crit Paladin.
Oh I’ve already gone 2str:1dex statting, but wouldn’t str/dex will have more damage? including the crit
would go straight up paladin be much better for early access of conviction? the only thing you get from early monk is the no cd double punch which doesn’t deal that much damage compared to early pally 3 of faster dungeons runs and such
i actually didnt need barrier and conviction before level 230+ anyway and double punch spam actually made leveling more fun for me. would rather double punch than auto every time smite and carve attack are on cd.
@nightly31 DEX doesn’t add any damage by itself, but crits do. Having more abilities to crit with is what makes STR/DEX worth it for paladin. Going plague doctor doesn’t give you any other skills that crit. You’ll just be using 3 skills and auto attacks. Double punch does way more damage than auto attacking. Both hits can crit. Elemental dmg will apply on your double punches and get boosted by conviction as well. compare that to only the initial hit critting with auto attacks. even with cafrisun and sacrament (both cannot crit) the dmg from double punch boosted with elemental gear, conviction will do way more damage.
Since we are discussing the types of Pally builds i would like to show you my full healer/defense buffs supp.
I made a Cleric C2>PriestC2>Paladin C3 character and couldnt be happier with it.
INT- 200 (98 points is the exact ammount to get it to 200 at R7)
SPR- 130 (because you will be casting a lot and you will need a huge mana pull + more magic defense and some buffs profit from it)
Con- All the rest (Since you cant heal if your dead)
Str and Dex- Didnt even touch it since i dont need damage at all.
The hidden mechanic of restoration gives +50% heal to people affected by the buff, so the 10 tiles heals + Mass Heal can easily supply 5-10 allies and would also benefit other ally healers (so Restoration + Heal + Mass heal is your healing kit). But thats not all, with Aspergio (+defense), Resist element (+elemental defense/magic and 20% damage nullyfication), Revive (dont mistake it with ressurect), Safety Zone (Static Block) and Barrier (Zooning + magic defense) you can be able to supply 10-15 allies with some experience and practice.
I created this build for GvG since its made to keep a huge number of players alive, this way my guild could focus the other members on damage and damage support skills, and it has been working great.
I advise that this build is a pain to level and you will need a party to help you most of the time (still soloable if you BUY sacrament and bless, dont invest to much points on them)
Thank you, so both full str and str/dex has its pros and cons, is that what you’re saying?
Anyway, I’m going for the path like yours but right now my stat is 2str-1dex-1con, not sure it’s going to be better than full str though.
how is the damage of double punch? being a full dex and seeing the base damage of lvl 5 double punch is a bit low, just for fillers and yeah makes levelling more fun, tired of doing AAs in between cooldowns so was considering it, but then I’d miss out the fun in rank6 as pally c3
Any benefit of Pala being in pvp or battle league?
Is it worth to go for diev2 for a rank? instead of monk1 or PD?
I’m not sure if Carve owl scales with Str or Int though.
