The only canon way to be a Paladin is to be or have been a Sultansworn. With thy shield protect; with they sword defend. The Sultansworn usually chose their own and only the best and most dedicated swordsmen have a chance at being selected. If chosen, the wanna-be Paladin must swear on oath to always protect the royal family with their life.Â
You know... I've read that before, but it never sunk in until now. Paladins are something very specific in this game.
You guys make excellent points. At first I saw all those Paladin defensive CDs and got all excited. I never really connected that just meant "Click. Okay now I don't die as fast."
I think Warrior is going to be my focus. I like that there is another resource to manage and like was mentioned, you live a bit on the edge. If something goes wrong, I like the little bit of panic it takes to get out of it. Not just "Its cool, I've got a shield right here on my arm."
So thank you very much guys for your input. As sad as this sounds, this is actually giving me great roads to take my character down. And now I can have a big ass axe! Nothin' wrong with that.
