I've mained healer/support characters for my entire time playing MMOs. I've been trying to research the differences in playstyle between bard and paladin without much success so far. This is the by far best resource I've seen yet that clearly explains the differences between the two support classes in this game. After watching this video, I think i've finally settled on maining a Bard. Thanks for helping.

[@Aiyulol]

Glad it helped! Welcome to the Bard family :>

[@Kreege]

@@Aiyulol Thanks! I mained a disc priest on several vanilla wow private servers and classic, and bard seems like the most similar class. Lots of tools, but it takes some experience, skill, and knowledge of the fights to use them most effectively.

[@impaladba]

@@Aiyulol you have made a mistake - paladins Godsent Law HP shield affects anyone in range of AoE. Not only paladin himself. Atleast thats how it works now on Russia server.

[@impaladba]

In short: Paladin is active melee playmaker class that can heal, protect, counterattack and have options for anything. It feels fast and mobile. You play it if you want everything in one character and playstyle. Bard is class that you play if you want to be an inpenetrable wall for damage that comes to your party and do not care or even do not want to do dps things at all.

[@rail7646]

I agree one of the best videos to get the differences by side by side comparisons, take in mind that the paladin has close to no healing at all while leveling up to 50 due to the fact that all the healing comes from engravings what are only available at the start of end game.

[@pingmeep]

Thanks so much for this. You really got all the support abilities info in a solid comparison summary. The presentation was great too.

[@Aiyulol]

Glad you liked it, thanks for watching!

[@impaladba]

@@Aiyulol Yes you did a great job, but i want to ask one question though. Why you didn't tell anything about counter attack capabilities of the Bard and paladin, how they gear themselves and how this gearing affects those classes and playstyle?

[@Arex...]

As some one who play both classes and who loves both classes, this is an amazing video. I will like to add just one thing from my experience and point of view: Bard is the best class if your party is learning the fight, while Paladin has the upper hand when your party already know the fight.

[@Aiyulol]

Thanks for sharing!

[@fankey8996]

hi, so if I am playing solo and q with random people, would u recommend Bard or Paladin? ty

[@frking100]

@@fankey8996 I like paladin better. I find it that paladin is better at buffing damage and with randos that is very important as you might have subpar allies. The 8% heal comes in huge allowing even the most brain dead people to stay in the fight for longer and if you know what you are doing you can shield a lot of damage with it too. Your holy aura is a mix of heal(with engraving), damage reduction, damage buff so unless you have a bard that is very good at getting gauge i consider the paladin to have the superior gauge skill. It wasn't mentioned in this video but a paladin provides a ton of stagger (stunning bosses) and in tier 3 you become one of the best stagger characters with some descent counter potential.

[@fankey8996]

@@frking100 🙏🙏

[@SirCaco]

After hearing your analysis of each class, I think that for more of a casual player of this game, such as myself, Paladin is most likely a better choice, since the class can take more punishment and keep itself alive more easily. After all, being better at healing others won't do anybody much good if you're dead.

[@Aiyulol]

Paladin is a solid choice!

[@Handles-are-dumb]

I love this presentation. It's so professional. I used your skill build guide for leveling and have the raid guide spreadsheet saved. Will be curious how artist turns out. I love the paintbrush/animation/sound aspect of it. I think the portal is a gimmick and would make players rely on me to move them instead of self awareness, when supports are already doing so much.

[@Aiyulol]

Much appreciated! Portal right now is unfortunately really not that useful as a repositioning skill, so I'm thinking it may see some more reworking in the future. It has a delay on cast which prevents it from using it in emergencies, and the reliance on the player actually hitting G is another limiting factor. A bit of a wait and see situation!

[@Grumpyk1d]

Yo it's crazy that this video is 9 months old and yet still so relevant. I personally don't play support but my duo partner mains supports in every game we play.

[@jesicad.685]

I started out playing bard, then switched to paladin around level 20 when an old gaming friend wanted to join our guild and would only play bard. The rest of our small guild preferred having one of each support instead of two of the same, which is why I swapped. This friend always plays healers, unfortunately she's also pretty awful at it, going way back to vanilla WoW when we were both healers in raids. I'm now leveling a bard in addition to my paladin because I'd like to understand it better. Judging the class purely because my friend's bard is ... well let's just say she doesn't make the class look very good, wouldn't be fair to the class. And who knows? Maybe I can give her tips the next time we play together if I have more experience with bards. As things currently stand, I just assume there won't be any support if I play a DPS alt with her, and that her group will struggle more in 8 mans. My guild thinks bards are trash because of that. It's kind of sad.

[@Xyz-cr2sg]

[@Kiobao]

Great video! Loved how detailed it all is even to the point of mentioning how different builds and changes can affect them or make them more similar. What's a shame though is I feel I'd enjoy bards kit more but would personally find paladins gameplay more enjoyable. Especially as someone that can be a bit slow at learning and with everyone new to the fights, so the stronger healing and more frequent shielding would be great. Helped me in deciding paladin at least!

[@Papeliuchou]

After watching many videos, and considering that I'm completely new to the game I've decided to start with a paladin due to the higher defense stat, it looks a bit less punishing and slightly easier to run the solo content. My first alt will be a bard then as many content creators recommend having many alts and enjoying different classes.

[@Aiyulol]

Good choice!

[@starbreeze7249]

Bard can still be pretty tanky with the heavy armor engraving, though still not on par with a Paladin of course. Don't forget to try to learn from your mistakes rather than relying on high survivability to tank hits. If you're playing solo group content then Paladin would 100% feel more reliable for sure, their healing specifically.

[@Papeliuchou]

@@starbreeze7249 thanks for the advice, my plan is to play the tankier Paladin to learn the boss fights. Once I'll feel more comfortable and know more about the game mechanics I'll feel more confident to run the content with a bard.

[@DubbedJey]

As a support or healer main in many mmos (dcuo,ff14,neverwinter,ect.) You are spot on. Sometimes you have to move into melee range to catch a person that is in a bad spot and you might get hit while casting your healing and just live through it. On another note DON'T build for damage if you plan on healing for parties unless you over scale the content I've seen many supports building crit and the team struggle to pull out the raid don't be that guy.

And lastly, Bundle of Notes which not only brands the enemy but lowers damage received of allies in it and (seems to, please correct me if I'm wrong) stacks with Guardian Tune? Love the super clean presentation and actual helpful clips, by the way!

@@Aiyulol My paladin is a baby and my bard is honestly not much better since I am a new player anyways, sorry to pile on the questions: I could not find a debuff to lower enemies damage on Paladin like Lethargic Harmony on Bard's Dissonance or Suprise Death from Prelude of Death. Granted Prelude of Death seems too hard to use and short lived, but dissonance seemed like a fantastic tool to keep damage low and with note's stacking with everything, I thought Bard maybe had even a bit more edge on the party defense side. Whereas Paladin seems to be able to shield himself with a ton of skills if chosen. Are these attack downs not worth of noting at endgame? Is -30% too little or denied on bosses?

Excellent guide. How 'possible' is to have both Bard and Paladin in one group? Since as a different classes their buffs should stack, right? Or the benefits are just not enough and the party will lack DPS for the various checks that bosses have?

[@christopherbrau5229]

This, wife and I have historically duoed as a bard and paladin in pretty much every MMO we've played and are starting down the same path here. The video makes it seem like an "either or". Is there practical value to having both? Sustained higher total group DPS? Sustained better group durability? Or does the group ultimately lose more than they gain by having both?

[@Aiyulol]

You want 1 support for every 4 people as having 2 supports will limit their usefulness (synergy debuff doesn't stack, etc.) Most raids are 8-man content so you will want to have 2 supports, one in each party.

[@christopherbrau5229]
