Duelists aside, Pally the way to go for Oly Wins?

We all know the capabilities of a Duelist in the Oly. Wondering after this class, is Paladin the next monster when it comes to melee oly classes?

to a greater extent, probably DA's over pally, but i dunno. just hazarding a guess.

Paladin's were always decent in there.

Even better now IMO. Still not the best but for Human's aside from Glad, yeah I'd hit it. (er I'd go it! heheh)

<3 pally, me second sub <3<3<3

i wouldn't want to fight any tank in olympiad but what exactly makes pali so powerful?
is it their heals?

Angelic Icon + Shield Slam + Touch of Life + 2(3 now) UD's + the ability to heal himself for 0 mp and outlasting his opponents.

<3 my pally

might be the fact that i have never seen a pali over lvl 60 but i don't know what half of that stuff does

shield slam owns me but alot of the time i hear tanks complain that it never lands
angelic icon kinda like frenzy?
UD obviously cool
heals fast?

angelic icon is run speed, attack speed accuracy and a crit boost(only crit boost if useing a sword)

ToL costs HP to use, and restoers some HP along with a Heal over time thats really strong(for 2min) and increases resistance to debuffs and an improvment on any healing cast on you.

AI is more like zealot but it also increases pdef and mdef. Shield slam lands good enough when you have good gear, boss jewels also effect them.

lol nice
and if i remember right with boss jewels it costs 0 hp to use

like i said tanks scare me either way, just UD and shield stun is usually enough to make me fight for my life

With boss jewels you can potentially heal more then the skill uses. It will always consume HP no matter the boss jewels

yeah thats what i meant

eh you can shieldslam often enough to make it land plenty a times in a fight. Its reload speed aint bad, i often have serious troubles beating a pally 5-6 levels below me if he's lucky with that shieldstun thingy lol, then again i dont have that fancy sonic rage thing, nor duelist spirit at lvl 2 could be that factoring in aswell ^^

pallys can beat glads if they land sheild bash they nerfed the angelic icon at the start but if you got the gear and the know how you can beat ppl/luck too :p
