mytheon gold

Don’t bother with resistances on your armor for this, obviously. Really you should focus here on just pure Stamina, and Strength in the few places where you can’t get Stamina. This will be a test of equipment, and you need mytheon gold to outlast your enemy.

Open with Disarm as quickly as you can. Follow up with a stun if possible and keep them useless for the rest of the fight. Never let up on them.

You shouldn’t have to use Hamstring for this one, it’s very unlikely that they will try to run…however, if your enemy is acting skittish and jumping around and such, have it ready just in case they try to get you first.

Do not under any circumstances let them heal; hit Mortal Strike if you have it to help that. If you happen to have Shield Slam, this is one of the times when it would actually be quite useful - ridding Paladins of magic effects can sometimes get you that edge you need to finish them.

If you find yourself losing to Paladins often, respect for Protection and try it out.

Drink a Free Action Potion before you start to give yourself a better chance to get them first.
