‘Sup, Doug. A fierce shark can be scary underwater, but how if it lives on the land? It’s an easy prey. The shark must choose where to live–sea or land. Knowing that sharks’ got gills and fins, living underwater is a no-brainer.
As a Paladin, you also need to choose between int and str. Int paladins are possible only for Restoration and defensive buffs. You can be a healer that focuses on HP regeneration (high lvl Aukuras and Restoration) instead of the boring heal-spam. Someone’s already chosen this path for beta.
If you wanna maximize your Pal, str-focused build is inevitable for Paladins’ got Smite and Conviction. Knowing this, str-focused clerics are into Priest2 for various attack power buffs. You know… Paladins are somewhat confusing. Their buffs are defensive and they’re bestowed with physical attack skills. Those can make them an off-tank but sadly they’re not capable of taunting enemies. Perhaps having Heal justifies that.
Hey a tanky Paladin is really a thing but you’d still need a dedicated healer. However if you love Krivis then you might wanna stick to int-focused classes to maximize damage output and pretty-much everything.
Edit: if it’s true that your build sorta looks like what @LoliLicker has pointed out, you can still be str-focused. Ditch Zaibas and stick to Zalciai. You lose magical thunder but gain higher crit chance. Your call, Doug.
