Paladin or Fighter for a melee wizard?

[Seferex]

Hi guys, its like 5 hours im trying to decide which class to sub to the wizard.

I will use summoned weapons and buff myself to go in melee.

 

So far it seems that the paladin is just superior to the fighter, but im pretty sure i am missing something...

 

Can you give me your opinion why i should go arcane knight or battlemage?

 

I was not able to play the beta, so i may have missed many stuffs

Paladin if you want more defense, and buffs. Fighter if you want to deal more damage.

mmmm why you say that?

Sorry i just still dont get much about the skills..

 

Tbh i thought just the opposite! Paladin gives more damage (with sworn enemy + flames of devotion + auras) and fighter more defence (with the stances)...

 

So far the only stuff i like about fighter are the stances, but it cant be only that O.o

Fighters got a lot of passives that make them hit more, hit harder and thus do more damage.

Paladins can also do a lot of damage, but its more sporadic, relying on FoD and other abilities.

Oh i see...

 

Sorry but would you be so kind to spell the name for the skills? Im still noob and not able to figure out OTZ

Oh and sorry for the double post, what about the stats?

 

How you guys would build him?
