Hello, i saw a youtuber explaining all the cleric classes and at paladin he explain that the best build is focused only around SPR+CON(like 3:1) at first i thought he was crazy but after listening to him it started to make sense. watch at about 1h50m
his points:
-smite costs a lot of sp so spirit will be useful more than str/dex because it allows you to spam it more
-turn undead works with spirit
-barrier adds magic defense equal to the spirit of the caster
-sp for days
He sees the paladin as a support/dps but focused on the support part, so str/dex aren’t important, you just squeeze in smite and convinction off cd as they have good enough base dmg
also the classes of choice are C1>K1>C2>P3>Pardoner
in this way with spirit you also get
-zalciai +crit dmg based on spirit
-increase magic defense that also adds more magic defense based on spirit
so you have a build focused on adding magic res and the other stuff wich may be cool(i heard magic dmg late game is quite a bitch)
plus he says that leveling is easy and relaxing.
I still didn’t play the game but everyone here seems to be talking about str/dex paladin and that spr is useless. So now i am a bit confused, is he wrong or is everyone here wrong? or are both path good? what do you think?
edit: i found a video where he plays his paladin, i can’t understant a word but i guess he went for full spr
