Paladin's Choice of Weapon

Hey guys

Just a random question bout a Paladin's most fitting weapon in your opinion.

Anyone voting and participating

Thank you!!

A flail where the handle is a cross, the ball is a bible, and the chain is a rosary.

You're welcome.

Just go with whatever the proficiency is for the class in Fire Emblem: Awakening.

I would have to say sword and shield.

I quite like Two-handed Swords, but in terms of both in rpg's and real life, I prefer speed over anything else. After that, defense. (And, for fun, magic for the pretty AoE's.)

So, for games, I normally focus on speed/range type characters (archers or rouges), but if I choose a warrior type, I go with a tank/support/magic type, like the hybrid class in Dragon's Dogma.

I prefer Two-handed Axes over Two-handed Swords, though. (Axes are tied with pole arms, for me.)

And while I generally prefer Bludgeon weapons over Swords as One-handed weapons (for the sheer power), Swords can pierce, cut, and are all around faster and lighter to use. So my preference for speed sides with swords. (Knives/daggers above swords though.)

Paladin's are supporters that can accompany others on the front lines, a little of all, but Two-handed weapons seem more suited to those who dedicate themselves completely to offensive.

With a shield, while in the front line, they can guard themselves while casting.

Also, you forgot staffs/books/whips/and other bludgeon type weapons.

tl;dr... Shield, and some one handed weapon, probably a Sword for the speed.

Here's my opinion :

2-handed hammer. Probably because I grew up playing WarCraft 3 and Arthas used a 2-handed hammer as a Paladin.

I'd Dual-wield but since it isn't an option...

2handed swords.

Sword and shield or a two hand sword. Or if you're like Artix, a two handed battleaxe. I just don't see hammers as a paladin thing. But my favorite is gun blade.

Swords are for kids. Hammers are what real warriors hit their enemies with.

I always think a paladin as a heavy tank-type with heal spells and a mixed bag of magic. Armour-wise, I think of bulky plate mail with large pauldrons , cape, body length square shield and a large bludgeoning weapon of a sort, like a mace or something.



Also, this ^

E-peen of nobility is the best choice for lvl 100 paladins.

2 shields in each hand.

One handed sword and shield.

WHY NOT TWO SWORDS?

Carsomyr, the Holy Avenger. The reason why you even picked that class. Fuck magic.

The Sword-and-Board style has been embedded to my view of Paladins due to MMORPGs

Sword and shield is the best for me

One big ass sword.

A rocket launcher.
