So i eventually passed my MQ to get a Paladin, but i have no idea about that class

I thought about a Tank/Healer -ish thingy

I was going to stat Vita for tank and Int for Heals

Skills would be Healback ofc and Revenge

my Equipment would be ee swords and armors and either str charms or int charms in main and obviously heals in acc slot

during the first few lvls i would use max mana robes

i mighe even spend some fg to buy better tank heal stuff but i dont have that much and i am saving it for a new MQ sword with 100+ee

any kind of help is appreciated :)

Pally is a great heal/tank character, probably one of the best besides Guardian.

Stick him up front with some EE weapons, EE armor, and a charm of choice and he can help carry your team to MQ safely for the most part.

Main issue is the lack of mana early, which can be fixed later by statting INT but it will take time to build up the mana pool. Not a huge issue, and especially on softcore where you don't have to be so critical with heals and life.

When I played the healtank role, I went with ~10-20 to vita just for a bit more HP later, he has a good natural life pool so I didnt need much more than that. Add a lot of INT but also you want some STR to help add your sword damage, don't want to just be a healer that can't attack. I'd say get INT to 60-80 and see how that works for a climb and adjust it as necessary. You could try to find a STR+MANA charm or STR+HM charm, that would help you a bunch too.

As far as abilities, Healback is nice if you have no other tanky people, just make them all go to the back row. Revenge works well for when you are the lone man up front, it charges pretty fast and can do decent damage. May want a point or two in Powerstrike just to help with EP/Sneaky/etc, but you won't need many invested, just a couple really will help later.



Enjoy him, he's fun to play for sure. B)
