**IMPORTANT NOTE** In the video I mentioned that Paladin’s Godsent Law didn’t shield allies – this is actually incorrect and I pinned a comment. The tripod was actually changed to shield allies as well (up to 19%). Unfortunately I can’t really go back and edit the video anymore so I hope people will read this note. This brings the two skills more in line with each other. Sorry for the wrong info!***
Hey everyone, Aiyulol here. To give you some context I have a Bard at 1500 and Paladin above 1415 on the KR server, along with a 1445 Artist. I’ve been playing supports since I started the game, so I decided to make this Bard and Paladin comparison video for you to help you decide what to play.
Regarding Artist: she’s still new and being reworked a lot, so I didn’t want to put information in the video that will become outdated soon. I’ll be releasing a video exclusively comparing her to Bard and Paladin once the balance patches settle down.
TLDR; play what you LIKE!

great comparsion
Great video, I already decided to be a full support player for my guild and this helped me understand what class to use for what situations as they come up.
Paladin main, will have 2 pal, 2 bard, and 2 artists when ever that comes out, should be lit 👌🏻
thank you for the good information, it sounds like paladin is more the way to go….
What character was he making at the start of the video?
Excellent video! Amazing job and great editing.
Thanks for the explaination. I've come to a conclusion.
I'll powerpass paladin and lvl bard to carry a friend and play the one i like more.
if people would favour one class my decisioun would ve been easier. xD
The one on the left (on the thumbnail) reminds me of Ayami Nakajo, a gorgeous half-British half-Japanese actress.
"Both classes are gender locked"
"Both classes have pretty much the same skills and roles"
Sounds pretty much like a gender unlocked.
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!
Wow! Truly awesome guide. Highly useful analysis, great focus and presentation of key info, outstanding visuals, concise commentary. Amazing job! One of the best reviews I’ve seen. Well done!!
this was the best bard vs pally video i've seen and overall awesome presentation and in-depth details that you don't really find with others. fantastic job!!!
HOLY SHIT AMAZING PRODUCTION VALUE!!!!
🤦 P r o m o S M!!
this song choice bro right in the feels 🙁
So the better support for berserker is paladin or bars??
I've always loved bards in games and this game is no different. This was a very well put together vid so thanks for all the info.
You had no right to use 'next to you' as background music…. Those feels came out of nowhere
the answer is bard and we all know it, but we're still all gonna play pally because f* playing a harp
Did something change? Godsent law gives a shield…(which is amazing with the reduction), but I don't think it gives anything to the Pala if he's not in the aoe.
So the opposite of what you described
That feeling when you chose both xD
the less otaku
i love everything about bard – the shield being a melee ability it just bothers me so much
I love the presentation and editing here – very clean and professional, laying out key info in a concise manner. Subbed!
had to replay the first few minutes over a couple times. the hunter x hunter bgm distracted me so much. good tastes 🙂
Amazing video brother!!!! I'm subscribing immediately!
Awesome video, brilliant editing and great clarity, cheers for this.
thank you buddy it helps alot
