How is paladin?

Just don't get confused by guides' version. 2017 was announced as such a huge patch so guides from past versions seem to not work anymore (which is mostly wrong).

paladins work the same as before . the change arround them involves only adjustments to damage and timers , boosted minion stats and reduced number of max minions to compensate for that boost . other than that they are the same

So which of the paladin guides would you guys recommend for a new player to median XL? Looked at a few of them, one of which was a Tantrum based skill build, and the other i think was blood knight. Didn't look into them all that much, went afk for a few hours. Going to read them in a bit though. Mainly wondering what you guys would recommend for a noob like me xD

I've started a melee holy paladin but haven't really found a build yet was hoping to ask on here but you've beaten me to it

I guess im not the only one that asks for build recommendations xD, hopefully we both find something we like with paladin. For now I might start leveling paladin as a basic melee build.

Well, there is one guide with [RIP at MXL2017] tag, so here is that.

my lazydin still works as before, as it was built in a different way in therms of skillplan and gearing ; so the death of one lazydin does not mean the death of all lazydins . SoD actualy deals even more damage in mid-end game , so the procs are trigered a bit easier .

^ Didn't yours use Demiurge? That thing got serious buffs.

Unholy Caster has been the most popular one for maaaany patches. I myself like Unholy Melee more. But most FUN I had with Holy Caster/Melee hybrid, steamrolled through normal game but started lacking at uberlevels, don't know with this new patch as he received some buffs and strong (?) single target melee skill that he desperately needed.

yes , that too , i forgot to mention that along the SoD boost

he still needs heavy procs for single targets . the replacement of Hammerstrike with Divine judgement is not so impressive . as for AOE , yes he got a boost for retaliate and plague and he's now killing crowds faster.

Well I guess ill follow this "The Tantrumdin" guide for now and see how it goes.
