Hey all! So after 5 years, I finally made it to 120! (without leeching) :D Now that I will become a Pally, What skills should I go for first? One guide said put one on Rush, ACB, and HH. The other just said put 1 on Rush and 2 on ACB. I'll probably go for 2 ACB to max it out first. Afterwards, it's Holy charge to be maxed. But here is where the two guides differ. One guide says to max Blast after Holy charge, the other one says to max HH first and then Blast. Which should I do? Also, MAX Rush? Yes or No? Thank You! :D

Congratulations. I just advanced yesterday myself. Looks like Khaini has two new Palis. I'm going Rush, ACB, HH for my first three. Of course, easier said than done. Gotta find a Griffey and that Indecipherable Book. From there, I'm maxing ACB, then Hammer, then Blast and Stance. Don't plan to use Holy much (banking on us getting the balance patch soon) and plan on HHing at Time Temple.

My build went like this... lvl 120 : 1 Blast (fun), 1 ACB, 1 Rush (trained at skeles till 123 using ice), maxed ACB at 123 lvl 124-130 : Maxed Holy Charge (used thunder at 123-124 then holy at 125+ on skeles) used 1 point on heavens hammer at 124 lvl 131-134 : 13 Blast (Defeats ACB on 1 monster, using it for temporary bosses like scar, dojo, ergoth, and zakum) lvl 135-138 : 12 Stance (for bossing and training purposes, what's good about bossing if you can't stand still? xD) I will continue to raise Stance till 21, then raise 2 Blast 1 Stance each level until both maxed at lvl 150, where I start raising Maple Warrior and Heaven's Hammer.

I did the old way, 120 - 1 Rush, 2 ACB 123 - Max ACB, 1 Holy then I max Holy, then HH, then Blast. If you plan to go ToT early, take HH. If Bossing early, take Blast.

HH is a show off skill, not much use, especially with level 1. I would go with 1 rush, 2 ACB.

[/quote] Hmm I see... Well do Paladin's Boss much? (I'm guessing NO -.-) Would it be more beneficial (faster exp/lving) If i just get HH first and get blast later since I'll be leveling faster anyways? Also, will Power strike be good enough for bossing (Let's say zakum..)? Won't I be using ACB wayyy more since I'll be rushing mobs?

Hi Toto. :D @ TS: YES, Paladins boss. Why would we not! But like any other class, don't really count on being much of a help until you've got your essentials down. Blast, Holy, and at least some Stance, in this case. If you want to do Blast after ACB, pair it with Holy, ie, max one after the other. I went Holy before Blast, which opens up Skeles and Himes to train at since HH had a massive cool down and no ToT back then. Otherwise, skip both and go for HH first. Either way, doesn't really matter that much, 1 point in rush, then max ACB is what's vital. The power difference is gigantic as ACB becomes your main attack. It's basically your reward for 120ish lvls of just Slash Blast, and you'll wonder how you got through all those levels without it. xD CONGRATS ON PALADINNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

So far I have done 120 - 1 Rush, 2 ACB 121-122 - 6 ACB, 123 - 2 ACB (max), 1 Holy 124-129 - 18 Holy 130 - 1 Holy (max), 2 HH 131-136 - 18 HH Really I should have skipped Holy though, I've never once needed it since 128 when ToT came out -_- If I was starting 4th job again, I'd probably go with 120 - 1 Rush, 2 ACB 121-123 - max ACB, 1 HH 124-133 - max HH Then some stance (9-10? Enough that you don't have to recast every minute) Then Blast, then Holy. There's only 1 holy weak boss right now and it's also weak to Lightning. Other than that, Fire/Lightning are more than adequate for bossing. Even after the updates Holy will only be 10% better than Fire. If you run the numbers, ACB does more damage per second than PS+FA, so you won't really use PS at all in 4th job once your ACB is maxed.

First off, GRATZ ON PALLY! Personally my build has gone (and will continue to go) like this: 120: 1 blast (cause I love how it looks), 1 rush, 1 hammer 121: 2 holy, 1 ACB 123-124: max ACB (one lvl late but who cares) 125-130: max holy 131-140: max hammer, (1) stance 141-143: (9) blast then some stance and back to blast till max. then im ill have to see from there. I think the pro's outway the cons on hammer early, sure you do less on 1v1 but you can use hammer ever 20sec. And again GRATZ! ^^

[/quote] Thankyou, I think you should write a more updated guide Ive been looking around the forum becuase I wasnt sure on which build to go. Question. 103-130 ...where should I train?

I went 1 ACB 1 Rush 1 HH. Then ACB, and now I'm maxing HH. After HH it'll be a toss-up between holy and blast. Then after both holy and blast will be stance then MW (and maybe a little into rush). At 123 you can train at Q5 for much better exp than skeles with ACB and thunder/fire. At 133 with max HH, just move to O5 (or O4 if you don't want to deal with Lyka) and gather mobs every 20 seconds with ice.
