Does anyone have a good aggressive Paladin build for Gold/Plat?
I'm thinking
this with some weapon that will give me well over +100% CD (I have lots of good choices.)
My current Sentinel is aggressive and effective. However, I don't use incinerate enough and now I'm optimizing.
Thats pretty much my exact build.
I go for Cryo Explosion over Duration and Slow. In the Fitness tree, I go for melee damage and Flame shield instead too.
Duration and Slow don't really mean too much for me. I never notice the slowing effect and the Duration doesn't really attract me because Snap Freeze is the finisher to most of my combos.
Melee damage is big because most things that my shield doesn't kill will be hurt, on fire, and ready to be fire exploded after that animation is over. I
want to like the Cryo Shield a lot. I really do, but the Armor reduction thing just doesn't have as much of an impact as it should and most of all - Incinerate is still broken, so you can't double up damage on chilled enemies like you should be doing. Energy Drain + Cryo Shield is amazing vs phantoms, but it just isn't enough.
Also, I'm loving the build with Mattock X + Incendiary ammo. Lightweight, you can gauge the damage you're doing to enemies and set them up well since its not an automatic weapon or a true heavy hitting weapon. Makes setting up explosions a breeze and the recharge rate is amazingly low - moreso if you go for weight reduction over weapon damage (you'll be doing the bulk of your damage with your powers/melee anyways).
Just make sure you're hosting.
ALWAYS host if you're a paladin. ED damage reduction only works if you're host - and it makes Geth free.
I just stay outside and kills any Geths that shows up and i use the gear that improves assault rifle damage and +2 grenades, mine is at rank V so its nice!
