For paladin pvp builds, can someone explain to me what the following items stand for / mean?

v/t pally
t/v pally
v/c pally

what do the letters 'c', 't', 'v' stand for?
I'm assuming it is: Vindicator/Templar/Crusader

What does Vindicator/Templar/Crusader actually mean for the build? There is no 'Vindicator' skill, but there is vengeance, etc
Does it stand for a "type" of paladin? like a templar would use FoH skill predominantly and a vindicator would likewise use smite?

I've tried googling but i just get build guides.

tracking this post for income knowledge!

Posted the same question on a couple other forums, here's the answer I got, would be great if anyone from here could confirm.

Vindicators (smite)

Templars (fist of heavens)

Not sure on crusader. Maybe zeal?

Not sure how the terminology came about though.

Edit: c is charger. I’m dumb.

From this, I'd guess that v/t is smite/foh but focuses more on smite and foh is the 2ndary attack option.

v/t - smite foh
v/c - charge smite

this are most used builds for pvp smiter

No idea how it started but vindicater is smite, templar is foh and crusader is charge

So essentially vt is a smite main with backup foh damage, t/v is more foh/conviction oriented with smite as backup, v/c is essentially smite with charge damage (beyond 1 points worth like maxing it/vigor/)


Vt works fhe best vs all, most vcs are lame mirror matchup builds with fort or fort hybrid etc and real duels without tele are not good

no need to know this terminology
there are paladins who smite, foh hammer and charge
its so that pure foh pallies with 1 pt smite can say they are a "V/t or t/v" because it doesn't sound as wimpy
