Hi ^_ ^ I’ve recently made a new file that’s, well, as the name says, a light paladin. Before anyone comes at me saying there are better options for pala, I know, it’s my favourite class. This file is a cosplay of a character and I thought light paladin would fit her. But problem is, I’ve never used this magic before. Only in AA really. and as a second magic…
So I need help with my build. For now it’s level 31 and might become an oracle in the future, but until then, what do I build? Attack speed as the main stat, I’m guessing. I’m not a pvp player and will not focus on that.
Any help is greatly appreciated ;; I have never built this magic before
I think light is the worst magic out there, because of how far it deviates from regular stat balancing. Most of the problem is that it sucks in PvE, because although having a blinding status that you can hit with relative ease is great, it doesn’t help when NPCs’ simulated vision can’t be actually obstructed. It’s tuned to be quick to hit if your aim is good, but NPCs don’t really need you to aim either.
Your best bet IS to lean into attack speed, as it’s Light’s greatest strength, as well as power. With enough speed, light can become too quick to dodge, so every move can count.
Plus, every hit inflicts more blindness, so the more you can blind an enemy, the better.
Complement with intensity to keep cooldowns short, and defense to keep yourself from dying, but mostly only if you don’t trust yourself to dodge or block.
The thing about speed - drawback is that it kinda requires you to have really good aim, so light paladin is gonna become much better for full release. While I agree with the others, I think that size is kinda counterproductive because of the negative affinity. Power is definitely great to build on, and if you’re not scared of the drawback (and looking to build something viable for FR), you could definitely consider intensity
Don’t swim against the current, if the magic is about speed, use speed. If it isn’t about size, don’t go for much size. If you want one of those, you picked the wrong magic.
coming from someone w a light paladin main, yeah you definitely want a shit ton of power and atk speed + defense if you arent ready for spirit to not give health anymore
I think light is actually pretty good for hybrid classes since it not only self synergizes but also is incridebly disorienting (atleast for me). Also the speed is no joke, probably invest in agility which will become accuracy in full release and if i’m right, would be busted for high attack speed builds.
Also unrelated, you’re using merciful or ruthless and which variation?
Would be cool if you sent a little footage when you’ve awakened, I love to see how paladin combos look (and I might even go with just that one for FR), but I’ve only seen merciless sunlight so far
imo ruthless doesnt look as good on moonlight (i say as if merciful would look any better on my file) but im also under the impression that staff of night’s purple effects will go well with it
