I'm playing as a frost paladin

[Hebereke]

hey guys
I'm playing with a friend using lone wolf
he's using a standard rogue and I'm using a frost paladin
he's the one obliterating everything and I'm obviously the one who is not
however I feel like I'm garbage at everything

we're barely level 5 or 6, in fort joy, about to beat those guys in the harbor that kill the guy who you teleport away and runs

as I said, he can manage his way pretty well but I can't even tank damage (we're also playing on tactician mode)

we managed to grab a new shield and I'm now on like 100/100 armor respectively, 200 hp, and that sword you find in the highest peak between two dead bodies.
It's better but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I feel terrible
any tips for me?

This game doesn't lend it self to 'tanking'... rouges are big instant damage and depending how you play can run away and rejoin combat repeatedly...

In general focusing your 'main' stat and just putting everything toward that tends to work best.
So for a rouge. FInness/dex is focused stat. pair of daggers and alot of mobility/back stab/sneak tactics.... Giving damage and a chance to reposition or run....

If magic is your thing. You want to go deep on intelligence... getting hydro skills and crowd control effects spammed alot to prevent enemies getting to hit you... which may take some experience as you gotta break through the armor to apply most status effects and reposition to force enemies to come to you or your traps.

There eventually comes a point you can re-spec your character and try to max out what your capable of... I'd just focus on having fun with it as the game lends it self to replaying a couple times!
