PVP Paladin Build brought to you by Anharthila
Hello there! I am Anharthila as you can tell from the title and I play in the p2w server (Evolution) because you know, its free and all… Anyhow, I am actively a Paladin playing as DPS all the way because I cannot support for shit. I enjoy to pew pew’in people. I have been on and off Allods since 2015 so I know the differences in the builds for the past few years. Just now I decided to get into it because I am not a broke teenager! I am a whole ass adult with PTSD, no savings, and struggling to pay college tuition! I love kicking ass, so you know you getting a quality ass build from this thread. I am focusing on my PVP Build today for the PMB event. Thanks to this new update we all had to be little guinea pigs and do trial and error for a couple of days…maybe a week or two. I am currently in the Monster’s Inc guild. Love it there. Shout out to all my crewmates there. Thank you for letting me snatch you away for astral, love you guys.
This build is straight PVP. It is not a hybrid. Straight killer. Below is currently my talent tree. I’ll be explaining further about each spell if you continue. Thank you for your patience.
Thy Talent Tree
Retribution
So, Retribution. Absolutely useless in combat. You only really need to upgrade it to rank 3 to get access to Vindication. You would use Vindication not Retribution in combat, but we will get to it later as to why Vindication is the preferred skill in combat. You can just chuck Retribution out of your hotkey bar.
Seal of Righteousness
Another useless skill for combat. Again, like Retribution, you need to upgrade this to rank 3 to gain access to the skill you are going to use in combat, Seal of Inerrability. Again, we will discuss later why Seal of Inerrability is the preferred skill.
Pledge of Purity
THIS ONE HERE. THIS IS THE ONE WE WANT TO KEEP ACTIVE IN EVERY FIGHT. Don’t you dare forget to apply this right when you are starting a fight, in the middle of a fight, and about to win/lose the fight. This right here, is the difference between crappy DPS and good DPS against another player. Pledge of Purity is the skill you want quick access to because this gives you Canon of Purity, which is what you need to activate skills in combat. This skill needs the Inerrability ruby to be highly effective. We will discuss about the importance of rubies with the skills further down.
Hallmark
*Sigh*. Another skill that we just need to rank up to 3 just for the sake of gaining access to the more potent skill. The other skill this gives you access to will be the one you will be using in combat. Yea we already wasting talent points on useless skills, get over it. The more effective version of this skill is Entangling Chains. I’ll be explaining further on why this skill is the more preferred skill. You can just chuck Hallmark from your hotkey bar as well. This trash.
Strike of Justice
Let us talk some good business. Strike of Justice. This skill right here will charge your opponent and deal damage at the same time.
Works wonders when you have Aspect of Assault active too. You almost always want to charge into the fight using this skill. I’ll provide with various skill rotations further down below so you can grasp good PVP combat. You see paladins need to be relatively close to their opponent to deal damage to them. So charging in with this skill is a good strategy because you’re giving yourself an edge by providing your skills with that close proximity you need to fight.
Incineration
Ah yes. The overtime damage skill. Keep in mind this uses Canons of Purity. This skill right here deals both physical and fire damage over the course of 6 seconds. This means that it will deal a certain amount of damage every second for 6 seconds. You want to keep this on your opponent as well because sometimes, we just need that little extra DPS to kill them when you’re recharging your Canons of Purity.
Overcome
All right let’s talk about defenses. Paladins have many defenses against an opponent’s attacks. Overcome is one of them. This breaks the barrier that has absorbed the most damage from the opponent. This has a cooldown though. The cooldown is 20 seconds BUT you have many barriers before
you start taking huge amounts of damage. Paladins have 3 barriers; this skill takes the barrier that has absorbed the most amount of damage and breaks it. Sound bad but its not really. It basically heals you and reduces the amount of incoming damage. So if you’re at half HP and you activate Overcome, you are healed and the damage your opponent is doing to you is reduced so you don’t die like a noob.
Vindication
This bad boy here is what you will be actively be using in combat. You sacrificed talent points to upgrade Seal of Righteousness to rank 3 for this spiciness right here. This deals basic damage to your opponent. It is not a damage over time skill though. Keep that in mind. But this only consumes 1 Canon of Purity. You want this on your active hotkey bar as well. It is one of your much needed DPS skills.
Aspect of Assault
All right this one is straight forward. You need this to deal damage mate. If you don’t activate this and die like a noob without killing a single player, blame that on yourself. ALWAYS activate this when you switch builds. If you don’t, boy you are going to be doing some baby DPS. Lesson here is turn on Aspect of Assault.
