Talk:Paladin

Second hand hear-say infromation. Damage per second analysis was just flinging out numbers instead of actually saying how they got these numbers. --Karlos 10:44, 5 March 2006 (CST)

W/Mo's are only referred to as Paladin's if they incorporate monk healing prayers into their builds such as Healing Breeze, Mending and Healing Hands. A W/Mo with 6 Warrior skills, Holy Veil and a Res Would not be considered a Paladin. I suggest this article be changed. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Vindexus &bull; contribs) 12:38, 24 July 2006 CET.
 * In other games, Paladins don't have to possess healing powers either. "Paladin" is the idea of a holy warrior who uses divine power to accomplish his goals. Be that smiting, healing, buffing or resurrection. The secondary class "Monk" is criteria enough to call a W/Mo a divine warrior. I suggest the article stays as it is. ~ Nilles (chat) 06:00, 25 July 2006 (CDT)
 * The term "Paladin" refering to W/Mo in GW comes strongly from the fact that there used to be a prebuild pvp template named that way who would have mending & healing hands. This should figure somewhere on the article. 85.168.232.38
 * Its just a general name in online games refering to a tank that heals. Or something along those lines. --Shadowcrest 23:50, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Better known (and loathed) as a wammo.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea Sumatae  [Talk]  23:52, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Dervish
I always thought dervish as the Anet rendition of paladin. Obviously, no one calls it that in the community. --208.120.169.109 11:39, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Is this article even valid? (Was it ever valid?) I've been playing for two years and have -never- heard Paladin anywhere. Personally, i'd put a delete tag on it. [[Image:Bigrat2sAvatar.jpg]] Bigrat2  Talk  11:44, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I think it's valid, I've heard wammos compared to Paladins many times. A friend of mine who came from WoW rolled a W/Mo because he decided it was the closest thing to a Paladin. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 11:45, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Ohhhhh, of course. I guess from a WoW players viewpoint, having Paladin here as slang is alright. [[Image:Bigrat2sAvatar.jpg]] Bigrat2  Talk  11:48, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Paladins in real world were knights who protected poor and fought against wrongness with their swords and religion, thus compareable to wammos who draw from divine power (which is largely ineffective in this game, /cough). J Striker 11:50, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * In Final Fantasy games, Paladins can equip the heaviest armor and swords, have access to low-level White Magic, and can take attacks in place of other players. Just like a wammo- except Cecil was useful.
 * Nice, haven't played much, ehh... FF6? Those classics aren't my speciality. :P *back on topic* J Striker 11:54, 27 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The old skool Mending-Healing Hands premade build was named The Paladin. That is where this derived from, mostly. Now it's much wider in what it means --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 12:51, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
