Paladin class ability question

[Asahida]

Does the paladin deal double physical damage against evil alignment at all times? what about the bonus against good alignment? There is no mention of a % damage increase.

[Asahida]

Also is there a cap to how much evil or good alignment one can have?

There is a cap for alignment points. At least there is a last stage for it anyways. Like how it says "unagreeable" or "Boorish"

It's like -1000 to 1000 alignment title cap or pretty close.

Oli the dev said Paladin gives u +100 physical dmg at max good alignment, doubled if u're fighting an evil alignment. However, most people in PvP will be good (at least the better ones) because of this ability. So 100 dmg is equivalent to 25 STR in terms of dmg, or 20 if you're Warrior. Not the best ability. Cavalier and Templar are definitely (much) stronger. Cavalier with the new 2H buff, u can get a 570 or so legendary level 80 polearm with bonus holy dmg and forge it with +10 strength (another +40 dmg). And then u get polearm mastery and weapons master, u can easily reach 3k+ dmg with a Cavalier if u go full STR, ur power attack can easily hit for like 10K, and salute of honour also massive dmg

well, then that's pretty disappointing for the Paladin. Because he didn't have a straight up number to his ability I actually considered him the best knight sub-class.

I'd rather go with the Warrior for a melee build in that case since his innate traits seem better compared to the knight.

holy paladin recently got buffed to give +200 dmg (doubled vs evil)
cavalier is prob still better though
