Would Paladin 2 Divine soul sorc make a good Gish?

So as title, could you make a good Gish with this setup? Spells like spirit guardians, access to quicken, smites, heavy armor, gfb, bb and the like it does sound promising on paper, very resource dependent for when to shine I’ll admit but for easier fights you would do okayish with using gfb or bb?

Paladin 6 sorcerer 14 get his spells slower. It is still strong and fun to play.

2/18 and 6/14 get level 9 spells slot. Only 2/18 get a level 9 spells known and it also get the level 18 sorcerer feature.
6/14 get extra attack, aura and oath which cam be very strong.

Personally I prefer the 6/14 because I like the aura.

Technically yes, but it depends on the level range of your campaign and what level you're starting at.

For example: Curse of Strahd has a level range of 01-10. Paladin(6)/Sorcerer(14) become really fun at level 9 when you get metamagic. But by then it's only one more level until the campaign is over...
On the other hand Out of the Abyss is 01-15, so for that it might make sense.

When in doubt I would always go for the Paladin(2)/Sorcerer(18) variant. Nothing is worse than finally reaching the level your character works perfectly at and then your group decides to start a new campaign :smallannoyed:
