Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gladius Legis" data-source="post: 7133778" data-attributes="member: 68748">Updated Paladin of Conquest analysis (from this month's UA):Oath Spells: Even better than before. Replacing Blight (worthless when you have Smites) with Stoneskin at 4th level was a good move. The best entrants of the old list are still all there (Armor of Agathys, Command, Fear, and ESPECIALLY Spiritual f'in Weapon).Conquering Presence: Much better than the previous Conquering Strike, being a mass fear ability now. It's slightly weaker than the Oathbreaker's Dreadful Presence, though, since the enemies can save to end this early regardless of how far they are. Honestly, I would've preferred a Conquering Strike that triggered a mass fear ability over this, but this will work.Guided Strike: Still stealing the War Cleric's CD. It's OK, but I'd say Conquering Presence will get used a lot more often. As an offensive boost it still pales in comparison with Devotion's Sacred Weapon or Vengeance's Vow of Enmity.Aura of Conquest: Much improved over its previous version. Between Wrathful Smite, Conquering Presence and Fear, you'll get to use this pretty often. If you're a Shield Master, knock them down after a Wrathful Smite and they won't ever get up thanks to 0 speed, and they'll take the auto-damage too.Scornful Rebuke: Auto-damage against anyone who hits you. Even works at range. This is pretty awesome and can add up very quickly, particularly against a horde. Much better than the first draft's Lv. 15.Invincible Conqueror: Same as before, a very solid capstone. 3 attacks/action, which is very strong with Improved Divine Smite atop it, improved crit range allows for better crit fishing for Divine Smite, and resistance to all damage is obviously great.Overall rating, blue, maybe sky blue. Spiritual Weapon, Conquering Presence, a much-improved Aura of Conquest and Scornful Rebuke definitely make this Oath worth playing now.</blockquote>
