How should I go about my UA Paladin build?

So far I have 1 in rush and blast and 1 unused.
Everyone tells me to max Advance Charge then Blast.
Achilles, Guardian, and Divine Shield seems pointless at my level cause Crockys @ LHC do 1's on me.

Ahh, that makes sense. Thanks.

Don't get ACB, the book isn't worth 60+mil.
Wait till you've got maxed Blast then you go solo Zakum and find the book if you really want the skill.
I didn't even put points into ACB, such a useless skill. I got 10 Achilles instead of 10 ACB, 1/1 and Poison no longer kills me.

And Divine shield comes up again fast enough that it still makes a significant difference in DPS.

And you're right, I hate UA palies[/quote]

Let's not make this into a flame war. Does not matter.

Divine Shield has a cooldown period, and its lack of invincibilty frames means a mob of three takes two waves of hits to take out your shield.

then go ahead....

Divine Shield is too unreliable at the moment. Mobs with magic attacks strip it away in seconds. Like mobs at the Lion King's Castle. Where basically all training happens.
It is a useful skill, though, particularly at bosses.

[quote=kookehmonsters]I viewed the other threads and saw your post. I was hoping to have other insight.
Is Advanced Charge really that good? I've been Soul Driver up until now.
I was thinking of getting Power Stance to 8 or something.[/quote]

If that is what you wanted your questions were far too vague to ellicit anywhere near that type of response. Please be more clear.
The build I just outlined is the best for damage at the Lion King's Castle, which is by far the fastest training available to most fourth jobs. Advanced Charge is necessary for the 94% mastery it grants, which acts as an immediate 114.1% modifier to your damage. Advanced Charge never outdamages Soul Driver unless seven enemies are being targetted.

I can't exactly give you an entire build off of "Power Stance to 8", sorry. Once again, you will have to be more specific.

[quote=demonzero14]Max Advanced Charge, then Heaven's Hammer, and then Blast. Heaven's Hammer does more damage over time than Blast does.
Currently there are at least three threads here in the Paladin forums about Paladin builds, please do at least a rudimentary search before posting next time you have a question.[/quote]
