Hi guys so I thought about it and there aren't many guides for paladins on what they should use gear wise/crysta wise, so I think I'll give it a shot at compiling masses amount of information on what Paladins should use for each of their sets should they want to make their tanking capabilities at its best.
If I have missed out anything please post below as it will be added to the guide should it not have been posted on the guide ^^)/ Those that help will be given credit at the end.
Builds:
These are the builds stat-wise most paladins use within the game, it solely depends on your preference for which build you go for. Remember, all of these builds can tank as long as they have VIT as their main stat.
Guardian Spam Builds
VIT/INT/DEX - Magic Sword/Special Sword guardian spam user
Pros:
+ High MP Pool
+ Can tank Magic mobs better compared to VIT/DEX/STR
+ Quick Cooldown between buffs
+ Self Heal really useful when there's no bishop, can make use of it due to high MP Pool
Cons:
- Not as much damage compared to VIT/DEX/STR
- Relies on HP Pots/Bishop's heal for spamming Guardian
- Not as much gear selection compared to other builds
- May feel slow at leveling at first.
VIT/DEX/STR - Normal Sword/Bow guardian spam user
Pros:
+ Highest guardian damage between the guardian builds
+ Variety of gear selection to choose from
+ Quick Cooldown between buffs
