Paladin Idea

[Silicon]

Okay, so me and a friend were talking about paladin builds and I used to play before the paladin class was out (about 3 years ago). So i decided to talk about my old build and he said it's a horrible build. So, the goal of the build is to have an amazing defense, with an okay offense (not extremely impressive). So pretty much support but can do damage if in a tight spot [status points don't include job bonus]:

STATS [3 points leftover]:
====================

Int -------> 63
Dex ------> 70
Agi ------> 1
Str ------> 60
Vit ------> 80
Luk ------> 1

SKILLS [Swordsman/Crusader/Paladin]:
============================

Bash -------------- 10
Sword Mastery ---- 10
Increase HP Rec --- 10
Provoke ----------- 10
Enduce ----------- 10
Moving HP Recovery
Fatal Blow
Faith -------------- 10
AutoGaurd --------- 5
Shield Charge ------ 3
Shield Boomerang -- 3
Shield Reflect ------ 10
Cure --------------- 1
Divine Protection --- 3
Demon Bane ------- 5
Heal --------------- 10

Gloria Dominus ----- 5
Battle Chant ------- 10
Defender ---------- 5

Just throw your output on what is either wrong with the class or what can't be done with the class. Assume the best damage gear possible.

I dont see what if any damage you would be doing? Or what tanking you would be doing either, your heal will be weak with that int. A GC pally with 120 int and 60 vit will tank better than 6x int and 80 vit.

You have listed Shield Reflect twice;one with level 10,one with level 5, but im guessing you want level 10 as that does leave you with 3 skills over.

Im also thinking where the damage is coming from and im guessing bash and reflect damage?
Why so high dex? for gloria domini?

Maybe think about changing your skills and stats with the idea of adding gc and more int..as it does fit well into a int /vit build with already those skills for battle chant and heal...same skill tree branch..
But yeah your paladin and its just a suggestion

Paladins will suck if they try to achieve too much. It's better to specialize your build.

[DeGuillon]

With 60 str you wont do any damage... gd damage also sucks, and even with 40% sp drain, I just cant see it killing anyone, since people will just hide from you...
You could try shield boomerang with some status cards and link..
But really, if it was me, I would either go support or offense.

The last one was meant for defender. Didn't mean to put shield reflect. Also someone was stating something called a shield chain, maybe that was after my time, but who knows what that is?

shield chain is the same as rapid smiting

[Tam]

it looks good :)
how much str do you plan to have for rapid smite? You need at least 90 total! AT LEAST and RS won't do that much damage then either. 100 str is more like the bare minimum but oh well :)

[Expt626]

or you could switch str to agi and just go for MR

[Tam]

MR sounds a lot better IMO

[Divine~]

With str, you might as well get RS/Shield Chain but you don't seem to have it listed in your build unless i'm just missing it. I love MR but it wouldn't work with his skill build since he would have to pick 7-10 skill points (depending on what level sac he got) and if he wants a peco, then is going to need cav mastery, so thats another 6 points (if he gets/wants a peco)

Hes got low vit for MR anyways :p

edit- I calced his current build and it would take him to job 71 lol
