Wow lots of shield haters. Being combos don't gain anything from passives. I run him 66606. You can still be Captain America and tech burst left and right to do the bulk of your damage. And nothing is more satisfying than shield bashing phantoms. Or ping pong phantoms between two paladins.

 If you have strength 3s to burn, you can spec him as a melee build. All melee dmg evos, piranha or wraith with omni blade, and ED to keep you alive/stagger enemies.

Pick cryo or fire (either is fine) and match it with your shield rank6 evo.

Run up, bash, ED/cryo/incinerate as needed to buy a few split seconds. Youre getting heavy melee power with light melee speed. 1-2 wacks is enough for most mooks. ED+shields will make short work of mid-tier enemies. Youll need to mix in weapons/explosions for the bosses. However, you can dominate phantoms/dragoons with ED/cryo+bash.. It's quite theraputic.

In other words, shield can be viable (even chart-topping) if specced correctly.

This is true. Given the amount of grief Phantoms used to cause me when I first started playing MP, I take perverse pleasure in whacking them all over the place.

 2nd match I played with the paladin, after getting to rank 5 of Shield mastery, and maybe rank 2 of Snap Freeze:

I am now enjoying this.  I combat roll into the front lines, then plant the shield, and draw all enemy fire, letting my teammtes fire freely, then combat roll away and plant the shield again out of roll.

This is gonna be fun, lol.  Now just to decide whether to go Fire or Cryo shield.  Do the effects apply when the enemies try to melee the shield and are bouncing off, or only when I am the one doing the melee attack?

I liked the Paladin 7 months ago when he was first released. This was back when tech combos were bugged where they only exploded when the target dies. As many have said the shield usage is situational. I accidentally discovered a method that I used now to draw fire. This works well against Ravagers and Primes especially.

Get close enough to Snap freeze. Incinerate for tech burst and to draw aggro. Once they turn on you, deploy shield. After each burst of their 3 shot salvo, snap freeze walk forward a few steps and redeploy shield. Doing this gives your team mates free fire on the said target coupled with your snap freeze debuf.

Otherwise it is basically Snap Freeze All the Things and allow your team mates to detonate.

Paladin is the only class that can freeze Phantoms. (Cryo Shield)

Phantoms and Dragoons stagger when you block their melee. (if you take the melee path and use juggernaut shield) Also, the Paladin takes no damage when you have the shield deployed in the acid rain on hazard glacier.

The shield is awesome, but going out of your way to use it is asking to get killed. Use it against things that otherwise could not be dodged like Atlas/Praetorian rockets, Praetorian laz0rs, Rocket Trooper spam, ect..

Glacier? And isn't the Cryo Shiled still bugged?

The shield is invaluable against pyros.

Snap freeze allowing cryo explosions on protected targets is supposedly a bug. Now we can all hold our breaths while we wait and see if the next DLC fixes this bug. If it does, I can only imagine the cries.

[Silvair]

so...like I asked before..I noticed when enemies try to run up and melee a deployed shield, they are damaged and staggered backwards. Would the DoT from a fire shield apply when that happens? As in, they try to melee, are staggered back and now burning, too?

You know those "OH MAN, I'M AWESOME" moments when you pull off a really techy play? Fancy cover-to-cover-to-cover rolls for chaingrabs, amazing jukes, chances you somehow see in a moment of brilliance and manage to pull off perfectly? Those moments that, even if you're good and trained to react to them, are pretty rare? Yeah, that's what the shield's for. Most characters rely on cover, tricky rolling, or unique mobility aspects of their kit to pull off techy plays--and for characters that have them, you don't start regularly utilizing those capabilities until you've put in tons of hours and have really gotten into that character's rhythm.

The shield is the Paladin's version. You use it to bat away warp balls you can't dodge. You know those moments where you walk into a room full of enemies and get off a snap freeze, but you're shield-gated? Yeah, that's when you frantically throw up a shield, buy time to get shield-gate back and see exactly who's where, and get an ED off on a shielded enemy; you then side-roll as the shield goes away and listen to the glorious cryosplosions.

Are moments like that worth planning your build around? Probably not. And trying to force stuff like that to happen instead of just using cover like a normal person probably hurts more than it helps. But after those rare moments when you pull something awesome off and you wouldn't have lived without your shield, you feel ridiculously proud.

If your looking for some pointers on how to play the paladin just watch this...

GREAT! Learned how to gel. For real, I will dust off the Paladin and snap-freeze my way to fame.

You can take the shield mastery evo and be a melee lord, with snap freeze and incinerate combos.
Or you can skip shield mastery and go for energy drain. Paladin is very configurable.

[inversevideo]

Good one. Did not notice this was a necro.
