Paladin Shield Tank
PaladinMain tank / PvP frontline para sa dungeons, MVP, Siege, War of KingsNoong 2026-08/09 (SEA, level 70+)

Isang full-VIT shield Paladin na spinaspam ang Rapid Smiting para sa damage at stuns, nagre-reflect ng melee damage gamit ang Reflect Shield, at pinoprotektahan ang kasamahan gamit ang Sacrifice. Nasa tuktok ito ng PvP meta, at gumagana rin nang maganda bilang dungeon at MVP frontline — kahit mababa ang sarili nitong damage output.
Maraming sources
Stat Priority
- 1. VIT
- 2. AGI
- 3. STR
Ilagay ang lahat ng points sa VIT, tapos ang natitira sa AGI, dahil pinaiikli ng ASPD ang global cooldown ng Rapid Smiting at nagbibigay ng mas maraming stun chances (mga 96.5k HP, 754 DEF, 255 M.DEF ang maaabot sa ganitong paraan). Alternatively, mag-99 VIT na may natitira sa STR, kasama ang pangalawang STR-heavy loadout para sa farming.

Tips
- Binago ng isang patch ang Auto Guard para harangin ang 10% ng melee pero 5% na lang ng ranged physical damage; nag-o-off na ngayon ang Reflect Shield at Defender kapag walang naka-equip na shield, at binabagal ka ng Defender ng 20%.
- Ang pagpapanatiling naka-up ng Reflect Shield ay hard counter sa Monk/Champion Asura burst sa guild PvP.
- Mga 350k DPS lang sa dummy ang dulot ng full-tank version ng build na ito — tandaan, tungkol ito sa pananatiling buhay, hindi damage.
