Super fast button mashing is a Pally's best friend. The faster you hit the button, the faster he swings (to a point it seems, may just be my finger's top speed.)
Also, I am super conscience of his defense cone (starts at 90 degrees and you get upgrades from there). If something seems like it's going to swarm me I take a step back, turn around and keep grinding that meat.
Also, most projectiles are blocked by his shield. This includes arrows and the green worm boogers but this is only in his defense cone. I usually try to funnel them if I can.
Things like the vine butt poking flower from hell, I usually just run around it spamming attack with small breaks right before hit pops up to hit you. That takes practice but you can get it down. The statues that shoot/ping out the blue death orbs I will get to the cover spot that is the closest to it, wait for the orbs to fly by, then run up and spam attack right until it gets ready to ping out the orbs again, then retreat to my cover. I also won't bother with them if a ranged class can handle it on multiplayer.
I do take the most damage with this class though and typically will eat over half of the food when in multiplayer. But I usually save my dash for large groups and I will dash through them for a huge damage bonus. If you have a good range class behind you (the Ranger is great for this), extra food isn't really needed.
Also, while playing the pally, just you swinging your sword makes everything in a fairly large area aggro to you.
Later when you get heals, I keep an eye on every ones health and will put most of my mana towards keeping them alive if needed.
