That's what I was thinking too. How does 8/8/8/12/18/19 sound? I'm not sure if I should swap those PER and INT values around. I know there are some pretty sweet INT necklaces that could work, but I don't know of many PER ones. I have the Berath blessing for extra stats so that the 8's become 10's and then I know there are plenty of stat boosting necklaces and belts to choose from for MIG and CON. Currently I was thinking Helm of the Falcon to help speed up my attack with WoTEP Abraham for the recovery bonus, heal on kill and Cutthroat Cosmo for his recovery bonus, and firearms damage for Maia (Eder bonus). Casita Samelia's Legacy sounds like it would work very well because I plan on going intimidation-heavy on this character, with Pellagina picking up the slack on the diplomacy side of things. Are there any rings or boots I should be looking for this kind of build? I know the Ring of Chameleon is a pretty popular pickup along with Kuaru's Prize. As far as boots go, Boots of Stone seems to pop up pretty frequently as a recommendation for Paladin builds.

Hi Boeroer, thanks for the response! I am not opposed to playing a Steel Garrote, it sounds like it would fit well with what I would like to do on this run. I should have noted I will be playing on POTD with the community patches installed so a bit of optimization is more than welcome. Soulblade sounds like an excellent direction since I plan to have Eder and Maia also be multiclass rogues. Everyone being a rogue would be a bit weird at a certain point. As far as attributes go, what would your recommendation be on stat priority to stay relevant DPS-wise but not become glacially slow or too fragile? To get offensive parry to trigger, I imagine RES needs to be pretty high, along with some added deflection gear. I'd love to have more MIG for weapon damage and healing, but I wasn't sure about dumping DEX to slow my action speed to a crawl for soul annihilation casting.

Hi guys, I'm in between a couple of multiclass options for my upcoming run of Deadfire where I plan to play an off-tank paladin who can still put out some decent damage on the front line. I would really like to make use of WoTEP and its offensive parry ability, and I know both of these multiclass options have the ability to do so, but I'm just not sure which would end up performing better long term. I'd love to hear what your guys' experience with these multiclass options has been, and if anyone has suggestions for a decent Paladin subclass for either of these builds, that would be appreciated too!
