I have long found the elf paladin to be the bane of my CF existence. I can never hit them, they avoid at least half of what I throw at them (so I basically am just lagging myself), and seem to throw out these massive damage bursts that I don't really understand in terms of whether they are lagging themselves whatsoever, how long they last, or when they can repeat it again.

There is literally always one or two of these builds, almost always in a leader position in Fort at hero ranks, being a constant frustration for me. I have had no interest in playing one to figure it all out which is probably why they annoy the crap out of me, just not a build I find to be interesting (even though clearly very effective).

Can someone please explain to me how I am supposed to beat these dexy paladins or at least help me understand their skills/strategy and weaknesses against warriors? Thanks.
