Dispeller vs. Smiter
With new changes to the Paladin class, it’s high time to decide your preference between two archetypal Paladin builds: Dispeladin vs Smiteradin.

Re: Dispeller vs. Smiter
Quick correction to the first poll option: Paladins can't get Epic Spell Focus as they do not get 9th level spellcasting. You are limited to GSF Abjuration.

I don't know but I voted versus because it sounds like PvP.Hunter548 wrote:why is "versus" an option tho

I want a cavalier... er.. cavalieradin?
Re: Dispeller vs. Smiter
My fellow Arelithians, how do I edit the poll options? LOL I gotta take out the VS as an option and per yellowcateyes’ point, adjust the spell focus to “greater spell focus: Abjuration.”

Where is the STR focused paladin ;-; guess i'll go with Smiter then
My family were all knights,but none protected those who cannot fight for themselves.They all cared about their noble status more than anything else.I would be a true knight,i would train on the ways of the paladin -Arcavius Ryde

STR focused paladin is the weirdly titled "dispeller," basically just a paladin that takes GSF abj so to better scale up their Holy Sword.Cybernet21 wrote:Where is the STR focused paladin ;-; guess i'll go with Smiter then
Re: Dispeller vs. Smiter
Looks like the ultimate Paladin build has it, Versus.
RP only starts at 30 if you're a coward.

Re: Dispeller vs. Smiter
Going full meme with Great Smiting 9 seems a little overkill (Quite literally)
The strength (/dispeller) paladin is better at pretty much everything. t's a lot more rounded, fares better in PvE, in non-evil pvp, or group pvp; but doesn't make evil quake in their boots quite as much as the threat of instant-death.

Smitadin has killer damage against non-evil via Divine Might. AB is only slightly worse than a STR pally. And saves are hugely better.
And don't forget Divine Wrath, because no Smitadin is getting Great Smiting IX without Champion of Torm levels.
