Does anyone rate the Paladin?

[vicheron]

I'm not too fond of the Paladin. Even when I maxed out the skill that trades mind runes for might and magic runes I still had way more mind runes than I needed.

I think the Paladin is a great all rounder and if you develope him that way he really stands out.

The magic tree esp Order magic eats lots of mind runes and even as a mage I find most magic skills require a few mind runes.

As a paladin, go for demonic tolerance (Demonesses + Angra's ring = cheese) and you shouldn't have too many lying around.

I am playing as a Mage now and I am REALLY missing those Mind runes the Paladin gets. He's a great all rounder. Many of the upgrades in the Mind tree are essential IMO - Scouting, Glory, and Trading, to name a few.

I love the Paladin so far, just got the game couple of days ago, level 8 so far in normal mode and i have over 4K leadership already. i got a nice helmet from the Staff of Destruction quest in the tower, it gives +400 leadership, was an epic battle for level 8!

I'm being very careful with what skills i spend my runes on. For starters i'm going down the left tree in Might to get 'Tactics', the left tree in Mind to get 'Runic Stone', and in Magic in both trees half way to get Order Magic, Distortion Magic & Meditation, seems to be a great mage-rage combo

well, on normal settings u should be ok, since later on u can actually buy runes for 100,000GP each (after u free the dwarf king son he give su the option to buy runes for cash), and on normal settings u have more than enough cash .

To be honest, in all games with a proper build and tactics most people should have an abundance of gold irrespective of the difficulty level. No doubt you will have more gold on normal than on hard or impossible but nonetheless you should have some gold to purchase an odd crystal or rune near the end game to round off your character.

True, Sandsai, but I had over 2 million at level 23 with my Impossible Mage, and only 500,000 at the same stage with the Impossible Warrior. This is partly because I'm better at the Mage, but IMO it is easier too.

To answer my own question of many weeks ago:

HELL YES I rate the Paladin. That Resurrect scroll is supremely important, as is the skill that gives you to the Might and Magic runes. One question: does the Paladin start with Lake Fairies/Sprites after the tutorial? Because if he does, he can stash them until he gets Sacrifice/Anga's Ruby. Then, let the destruction begin.
