 Yo. Lots of my friends (And quite a few people on the BSN, i think) are havin' some trouble with the N7 Paladin. I've just made a new build, and thus far, it's been BEASTING. The build is detailed below. It is designed to absolutely DESTROY armored targets. 

Energy Drain: This is really up to you, but i went for Damage, Drain, and Armor Boost. You won't be engaging most non-armored enemies with your weapon, so the damage on the 4th evolution helps you sap their shields so you can freeze them. 

Incinerate: Nope. Nothing in this power. 

Snap Freeze: Range, Duration/Slow, and the evolution that weakens armor more. 

N7 Paladin: Power Damage and Capacity, Power damage, and then you can choose which one you want between lower weapon weight, and higher weapon damage. 

Shield Mastery: Durability, your choice between omni-shield strength and Shield Recharge Delay, and then Cryo Shield. Cryo shield is what makes this build awesome, so you NEED to get that. 

Weaponry: Piranha Shotgun, preferably at X. Mods may vary. Putting on Armor piercing bullets will help (Not the shredder mod, but that'll help as well).

Plan: Go up to Armored Targets, hit them with Snap Freeze, and Melee them with your Cryo Shield. Congrats, their armor is now 100% weakened. Now, proceed to melt them with your Piranha, since this thing DESTROYS armored targets, ESPECIALLY now that they're 100% weaker. If you're engaging non-armored targets, just use Energy Drain if they have shield/Barriers, and then once their shields/barriers are gone, hit them with Snap Freeze/Melee them. The Melee is very helpful against Phantoms, since you'll knock them over and freeze them once their barriers are gone. If something gets close enough, then just melt'm with your Piranha. 

Have any other good builds? Feel free to post them. Sorry if this has been posted before, but i just discovered this build and have been doing pretty well with it, as opposed to when i first started using this character and got destroyed by everything.

Good build, I was thinking of speccing the shield for melee/cryo and I will definetly do it now.

Mine is

6/3/6/5/6

I find incinerate sometimes useful for long range tech bursts.

I played a few platinums mon with great results, we had a paladin in our squad for all the games.
I can't really say I thought the class brought a great deal to the squad other than snap freeze being kinda useful if we got over run.

I haven't yet really played at length with him other than a few games on silver to test out a couple of builds. Out of the new n7's he's tied in last place with the slayer for me

[friedricethem0n]

This build is unplayable on Gold. I tried a similar setup to yours on Gold yesterday with a Pirahna VIII. Before I could get near the Geth Prime to shield bash him, I was stunlocked and killed by him and his two Geth Hunter buddies.

The N7 Paladin needs a buff either to his Omni-Shield strength or have some sort of stun immunity.

[Roobz82]

I have unlocked the paladin and the slayer and much prefer the slayer. His melee is far superior at least for silver (which is generally all I play). I use a melee buff on him and use his melee as a follow up for charge. If done quickly you can whip through up to three grunts with his heavy melee alone. The paladin I have been playing like a salarian with a shotgun.

[Lee80]

sounds like my build for the most part, but I haven't really used the melee attack much. Sounds pretty awesome, but getting close to the enemies has never been a good idea for me.

What difficulty are you using it on?

I've really got to get my vids uploaded...

The Paladin is 'perfectly' playable on Gold, and is capable of tanking heavies easily, allowing other teammates to kill them. 'Everything' with the Paladin is about being quick and knowing what's around you... a forward facing shield isn't useful if you get shot in the back.

But it can hold off an entire army from the front, especially Geth...

[ZerebusPrime]

This is essentially the build I have been going for. Now if I could just swap Incinerate for Cryo Blast I could rename him Mr. Freeze...

[Amnesiotic]

OP's build is exactly like mine, only I have the Pyro Shield. I've been thinking of a respec anyway, so I'll try the Cryo out if it works even better.

[mightysasquatch]

Agree, the paladin is perfectly viable on gold. Though on platinum he wasn't the best in the squad I can't remember thinking it was useless, just less useful....

[puldalpha]

I run this exact build and top scoreboards consistently. I tend to prefer to run with the talon over the piranha, it provides as a longer range shotgun while keeping a low CD.

[Amnesiotic]

My Paladin rocks a Reegar X and a Talon and it's a blast. I usually roll around like a nut, Snap Freeze dudes and then melt them. If you're good at playing aggressively (meaning you are mobile and know how to stay alive) then Paladin is a blast.

This is what i've gone with too after getting the Paladin in my Victory Pack

Oh wow, i didn't actually realize people replied to this thread of mine. I thought it simply got FTL'd off of the front page. 

To answer your question, i'd say going with Shield Booster gear would be the best idea, since it'll allow you to get close to big, armored enemies without dying as easily. 

On your question about weapon choice, it's really up to you. I use a Piranha, and it will tear through a 100% weakened armored enemy, but again, it's up to you. Maybe even try a Cerberus Harrier, though you'll be less able to use Energy Drain. 

[synapsefire]

This is a much better build in my opinion.

Radius on ED is amazing. Cryo Explosion on SF is a no brainer. Weapon Damage in passive if cd allows for it. Fire or Frost shield is basically a personal preference. I like the dot.

You can exchange the Adrenaline Module with a Cyclonic modulator if you can't stay alive. Or put on a Power Eficiency Module if you are using a heavy gun. Use AP ammo for this build. I prefere the shredder mod with incendiary ammo though. I freaking love incendiary ammo.

[LoneWolf.EXE]

Thanks.

ABout the weapon choice, maybe i'll use Talon , then, so I can use my shield for bashing.

Is it just me, or does the shield have a large AoE for a melee attack?

No, it's most definitely you that can't play the build.

If you swing the shield (Not planting it, actually smacking people with it) it'll hit things in front of you in a wide area. I'd say about a 90-110% cone.

R - O - A to the M - I - N he's a crime solving rank 11 Paladin...
Run mine 63665, wan't really digging the cryo or fire shield. I see the benefits of cryo on bosses but it messed up my rhythm and by the time i had actually managed to land that melee some GI or Destroyer had ripped through the armor, so I just took incinerate since I have more fun when I have all 3 powers, plus occasional tech bursts. Even if they aren't strong with rank 3 incinerate, they can crowd control. Keeping the fire and ice theme is fun too :happy:

I tested Incinerate on the Paladin with a 6/6/6/5/3 build. Didn't miss the elemental shield too much and Incinerate is a fun power,. The problem is that there is absoulutely no situation where you would want to incinerate instead of Snap Freeze unless you play him long range (which is just vastly suboptimal but a choice you are free to make).

66356 is the best build for me. I find snap freeze works just the same as if you spec it for 6, I applied 6 on my incinerate for armor instead because snap freeze didn't seem to spec well against armored targets. Shield Master is a must for this build with ice because the incinerate + ice SM = equals death. I am a up close aggressive player so this one fits me best

Pretty much the build I run, with a few minor differences.

Works just fine in gold, just don't be an idiot but that goes for anything you bring into gold.

For the shield I'd recommend taking the shield recharge rate. Even without the full 5k HP there hasn't been any situation where my shield has broken from something that wouldn't have one shotted it anyway.

On snap freeze I took damage taken increase. Still not sure how useful it is compared to duration/slow. I like them both pretty much equally.
