I used to play as a paladin, now I only play as a warrior (that's why I don't use spells, I know it's inconvenient, but it makes you think more about how to move, how to deal more damage, instead of just clicking somewhere.
For a warrior, as I've noticed, the magic of distortion, which significantly enhances the wax, is the best. A mage's small number of troops is compensated by Chaos magic, although "Geyser" from distortion is better than Armageddon :). Maybe for a paladin, the magic of order unlocks its full healing and weakening potential :rolleyes:?
