Paladin skills selection

Class and Rank Cleric
#1

I am now a Spr>con build Chaplain and planning to have Paladin for R6-8 and I need some advice will skills selection.

for sure
Smite:15
Resist Elements:15

with the remaining 15pts I am considering this four skills
Turn Undead
Barrier
Conviction
Restoration

Conviction:
-at least one, for enhancing smite
-elements debuff only useful when in party and with someone does have elements attack
-due to no STR, I doubt that even it is lv5, Aspergillum would still have higher or similar level of damage, the only difference is Conviction have AOE+2

Barrier:
-CD wise lv1 is enough
-maxing it will provide 80 mdef extra
-no idea how much will 80 mdef resist

Restoration
-fixed value for increase HP recovery
-only work when party members are very close to you
-works well with heal but my cleric is c1 and hence my healing are highly depending on mass heal
-lv3 for the Attributes or 0

Turn Undead
-no int so I am not looking forward to have impressive damage
-can make use of my high SPR against Mutant or Devil-type enemies
-unsure about the chance of it
-the level of it will be all of the remaining pts

what would you guys recommend?

Wait 1 week for the cleric preview.

i’d recommend you don’t pick paladin , but then again you already picked chap…

#4

Yeah, I do still think chap is great but it just make it so hard to pick R6 and 7. After having a look at other class I think it suit chap as supporting side and have a bit of damage…the only thing is Pally is more like a C3 or go away…

Conviction is also useful to you especially since you’re a chaplain, if you manage to get all of the 5 elemental attacks via headgear or equipment (fire/poison/lightning/ice/earth) that’s an extra flat 500 damage for whatever you’re hitting (because elemental defense can go to the negative>increases your elemental damage) for all damage lines.

For a chap that’s an extra 2k every auto attack, 2.4k if you use divine might first.

It’s best to wait for the rank 8 cleric preview that is around the corner. Like kyle stated earlier, conviction will help your build but that you won’t get that skill unail rank 8.

#7

oic, so the usefulness of conviction will just depends on the eq I have hmmm

@Spaghetti
seems like I should just go leveling up my second character for this week than, thanks

Yea it sucks if you wanted to spend more time on your chaplain right now but the way things have been going with constant nerfs/buffs and the recent rank 8 reveals, it seems best for you to level your alt and continue theory crafting when new info comes out. Good luck bro.
