How to play Paladin?

Hi!
I've finished both KB:TG and KB:AP with a warrior.
I've also played KB:TG with a mage.
I see how you to play these classes, and it's quite easy to understand.

I'd like to try the Paladin on KB:AP, but I don't really see what kind of gameplay to use, especially about spells.
Can a paladin use destruction spell with efficiency?
Does he have to focus on "support" spells like rez, various buffs and so on?

Well, if you just can help me about the way to play well with a paladin... :]

And sorry for my horrible english.

I strongly suggest to make a scapegoat build.

This means buffs (stone skin, target, god armor, mass haste, etc.), a mixture of tough melee and ranged units and get the resurrection skill maxed ASAP. Then the only thing left for you to do is to use target (round 1) and stone skin (round 2) on your tank and never mind the losses you suffer from that stack, as your paladin will recover them 100%. That will help you win battles with minimal losses.

That's quite my strategy with my Warrior...
The main difference is that I don't use much resurrect... Because I'm a warrior.

Yep ... i think i will not play paladin in AP i just dont find anything special about him .. in Legend let say warior was weak in magic .. but in AP with rune exachanging it can get a lot from magic tree and hes highest leadership ...

I was talking about the skill, not the spell

Does it count as no loss at all? aobut ress speell it was importants spell in legend .. in AP i did not have it on my warior and ... nothing about that .. paladins are just enough .. unlesss you play demon army

No. If you lose units and recover them afterwards through the skill, they still count as losses. But in any case, for you, it is a no-loss battle

I think everyones using paladins as main tanks uses the same strategy. For me, using a mage, i always move the palading at first and all the lower tanks next to him, and i always use paladin's resurrection at the end of the match to minimize the casualties, while i have resurrection spell maximized. I use resurrection speel to resurrect units out of the range of the paladin. True is that u dont need to worry about losing paladin units, cuz u will resurrect em when u use paladin resurrect talent. That way, u can do a lot of no losses matches (i have 225 right now on level 49). If u have inquisitors too, u will be almost inmortal xD. Invincible armys becomes too easy in almost all of the times (except heroes, that will be a bit stronger but nothing u cant handle). I think u can play watever u want even if u have mage, paladin or warrior, just u will not receive the runes according with your class.

Hmm... This game is confusing a lot of people. We will really need to set up a name or a hint to show whether someone is talking about a Paladin hero or a Paladin unit.

I was talking about the paladin hero all the time and his resurrection skill, which is Paladin-hero-only. It resurrects up to 100% of the casualties suffered by a certain troop. As such, you do recover their losses 100% - no matter whether the unit was Black Dragons or Black Knights.
