...Paladins are consider to be one of the best class ever lived in the FE series. Your not doing yourself any favors by saying that.
And as for Franz, hes pretty solid occasionally though he mostly gets RNG-screwed a lot.
For comparing characters and class as such it means everything. But I was using that as an example of what Gerik would have been. Because Gerik would never get screwed in any situations. Unless however you just got RNG screwed. That happens all the time. I find this very excessive for something such as this.
I always make endings for all my teams in every games:
Eirika x Seth
Ephraim x Tana
Franz x Amelia
Forde x Vanessa
Kyle x Serene
Joshua x Natasha
Gerik x Marisa
L'Arachel x Innes
Myrrh x Saleh
My best endings.
