Clive's Paladin Compiilation

[Donjo]

Ha! I know exactly who you're quoting with those criticisms! That probably means I spend too much time here...

Anyways, the only beef I really have with Paladins is that the more situational/reactive utilities(the spells mostly) spend a lot of time unused when your party has a given fight well in hand. In progression, Paladin can certainly be the best thing ever (TM) , but it's just so odd to end up pressing fewer buttons once that progression ends.

Either way, I'm firmly of the opinion that the more boring someone believes Paladin to be the less they've ever considered trying the utility. There was a Vault run I did just after getting Clemency where I saved the party at every boss fight in ways only a Paladin can. I told the FC that this must be what it feels like to... Palawin :P

I didn't even think about this since I've always just thought about how HG can't stop magic...

Hm? HG can totally stop magic! My group's Akh Morn strategy was light cooldowns for 1, heavy cooldowns for 2, Holmgang+Cover for 3, HG for 4, and every cooldown+praying for 5(but we didn't usually reach this one hence using HG on 4 instead of here).

There are just some specific mechanics that say FU to the "invincible buttons" but they eat through all of them. The Ramuh EX Tank Swap mechanic is a good example of this.

Sorry, maybe I should of reworded that, I just really meant that HG can't stop Nidhogg's Akh Morn. I tried to save a healer using cover HG and we both proceeded to take all dmg inflicted (and he died).

Oh, my. I never thought to try that. Guess that's one of them things that ignores the invincible buttons. Oh noes!

Edit: Half the fun of Paladin Utility is figuring out where it doesn't work! [also from the book of "lolStatistics"]
