Hello guys! Care to analyze this build with me?

Build

As the tittle says, I keep theory crafting around the paladin class, They are my favorite class in a RPG-esque way, my intend is to make a jack of all trades, that means a cleric that can heal (not by a lot but some heal is better than no heal.), has decent resistances, utility, and some damage skills.

The skillbuild is here

And the stat build would be, STR:CON:SPR in a 4:3:2 ratio.

What would be the points the build has trouble with? For example, I know healing is already a problem due to no C2, but what else? I've only reached lvl145 so far.

Also: Where in god forsaken heaven may I find the Feather helmet recipe...

I would drop Priest completely, Priest you get to go full support or Chaplain, 3 Priest ranks in a STR build seems like a waste. Maybe even Cleric 3 Paladin 3 would be better, with overkill 15 heal tiles and rank 7 still free.
People are going to rage but i would do something like this http://www.tosbase.com/tools/skill-simulator/build/gl3in50gkh/ Cleric 3 Paladin 3 Monk 1 (WTH monk?? Because you need skills to spam! And most classes add nothing to your build).
Solo you would have 5 STR skills to spam, most of them have short CD or no CD at all. In party you heal, barrier, buff elemental res, and kamikaze hitting stuff i am not sure.
Pardoner could replace Monk if you want be more support, with enough SPR you would have some good mdef/elemental buffs.

That's quite an interesting build too! although in a STR build I would drop one point in resist elements to add 1 point to conversion, even though the chance to convert working is low once you get a "follower" they follow you forever in the map, and that is never a bad thing for 1 point plus the STR attribute .

What I had in mind with the build I mentioned was the ability to be a jack of all trades, with the res, the buffs, the sporadic heals, and overall usefulness, your build however is just taking the maximum out of a STR based cleric and I like that.

Why do you think the priest c3 is bad on STR clerics though?

Most of Priest skills use INT or SPR, and they give almost no damage to Paladin skills, several other players already have them and you would add nothing to a party besides the Paladin skills. With Cleric 3 you can boost the most important aspect of support, Heal, and you have 4 ranks to play with the STR part.

But what stat build would be good for Cleric3/Pally3/whatv build? something like 50points in CON, 50 in SPR and rest in STR, or STR and DEX?

I am not sure about stats, but you shouldn't add points to more than 3 stats, maybe 2:1 STR:CON (and some DEX later if you need it), SPR won't help you much, it's useful for Deprotected Zone (more def debuff but the way this game works, STR would mean more damage than SPR here), Barrier (more mdef but defs in this game are flat reductions some few SPR points won't help) and Turn Undead: Spirit (increases the chance to kill stuff but i won't rely on it).
I guess 2:1 STR:CON and some DEX would be the better choice.

I mean i think people should do crazy things, so i like your build! im doing a build thats Ceric2>Krivis2>Monk3

I think your build looks good. I'd adjust the stat builds to favor less str and spr. Something like 3:4:1. Pally already has high base damage. Plus you're reliant on property atk gear anyways for strong autos and conviction.

I wouldnt go for Priest c3. While it gives you good supporting options, Paladin is more of a damage class choice. At most I would grab 1 circle of Priest, mostly for Monstrance and easier leveling. I would replace the other two ranks with either Diev or Krivis. I favor Krivis for Zalciai and the Aukuras/Restoration synergy. It makes you hit absurdly hard. You likely skip Zaibas since you wont be putting any int.

Something like this. Or swap Priest for Cleric2, but Monstrance is actually a godsend if you're willing to but a few points into Dex.

It doesn't let you heal with tiles as well, but Restoration/Aukuras helps you to stay personally topped off, and establish "bases" for your party. But thats how I would build it, and I dont tend to favor making myself into a healbot.

Hi, Your Skill build is good and it is a common build for Paladin;

About people saying for you to drop completely the Priest because you can buy the buffs from a Pardoner or because Cleric C2 gives you more heals, i'm here to say that Mass Heal is a very good heal and with Restoration, 5 tiles of Heal heals a nice amount for a STR class. Also, even if you can buy Blessing and Sacrament from others, having your own is very good because it is very time-consuming to have to go to the town everytime, since the buffs randomly ends or the blessing ends by the damage count limit so fast with Sacrament+Cafrisun+Arde Dagger equips. In addition, Revive and Ressurection do a amazing job in dungeons.

If you want to follow a 0 points in DEX build, be aware that you'll have to rely on the best Gloves for you level range for don't have a bad time missing mobs with Smite.

Just as others suggestions of Build, here is what i tried/trying:

Firstly i started with this Build: http://www.tosbase.com/tools/skill-simulator/build/340xa2u1nm/

But now that i'm wanting to focus on PvP, i'm following this one:http://www.tosbase.com/tools/skill-simulator/build/o39ee5c67n/

And i also agree with the idea that people have to try crazy things. :D/
