The Paladin (STR/FAI) [WIP]
Added 2024-06-16 22:09:39 +0000 UTC[WIP] [FORMAT NOT FINAL]
Note: I am currently working to 100% Elden Ring (again) in order to have the perfect save file to create builds. Because of this, I haven't had time to make a BG3 build this weekend. Expect BG3 Builds to return the week following the release of Shadow of the Erdtree. Thank you.
Elden Ring
This is the quintessential Paladin. My personal build following an Oath of Vengeance flavor, this Paladin is willing to cast aside their own purity if it means they may successfully PURGE EVIL. I’ve beat the game 3 times with slight variations of this build, the core always being the same. I will have a Part 2 to this build specifically for late-game which will be named OATHBREAKER or DEATH KNIGHT. I will consider making a Cleric version that wields a Shield

ARMOR
When selecting Armor, please wear the best-looking Paladin armor you have, but try to keep poise at or above 51 as this is the threshold for you to withstand light attacks without flinching.
