2handed Pally spec

[knighthood]

And b4 u say go sword and board etc...

Thinking of 44slash 44Hand 42chants 13parry

Whats Your oppinion , would be nice to hear from people who know a lot about pallys and have tried 2handers b4, personally i think thats the best possible 2hander spec i can come up with in terms of dmg <lol> without sacrficing too much for chants and still providing my grp with red end

although i may drop some parry for 7 shield for engage <in fact i will >

go sword and board etc... !!!!

Why do you need 44 slash?

 

[Robin the Brave]

My Paladin is currently 50 2hand (after 3 years of 50 shield) its awful in pve, dont even try to tank and it doesnt come close to merc dps... its fun though

For Rvr i would always take a 2hand paladin over a s/s, 2hand styles are uber (side and rear chains) perfect for assisting mercs and damage can be decent 600 - 700 without crits.. normally 300~ though :/ unless the paladin is rr8+ its really not worth using one.

Your spec is ok miss out of the last style which is worse than the lvl 44 style imo but still nice to have ^^.

If you have a set rvr group and you accept you're totally gimped in pve its fine .

Make sure you have 250 quick when buffed (need +97 quick in temp if briton with 60 starting quick), 10% melee speed, alacritous weapon would be great if you can get one (i use malice atm) and group with a theurg or it sucks hard using a 2hander... good luck.

Hmm i seem to recall watching Bernard <Old school Shadowlords 2handed pally and old friend i miss him > soloing nightmares in DF unbuffed with his pally. Admitedly he was around rr4-5 but still, i mainly want it for looks and cos im bored of sword and board

As for the 44 , well i dont RvR that much , especially not roaming grps unless its a random bored alliance fun run, the 44 2h is for thre 9 sec stun off the side combo as i wont have slam which is easy enuf to do as long as someone else pulls the mob and we have a few pallys in guild anyway. As for the 44 slash, i want my dmg varience as little as poss, and tbh the chants past red end chant aint that uber, although i spose i could drop slash to 39+11 .

Need a bit of info there though if having over 50 effective slash will increase my dmg at all, if it doesnt ill go 39 and up chants a bit. And yes i know slash is the worst possible choice for albs to use in rvr but i think the thrust 2handed pickaxes look awful and the hammers just dont have that paladin type feel to them hehe. I can allways get RP from assassins anyway.

43 chants 37 slash 50 2h 10 parry

 

[Ckiller]

im

50 2-h
42 chant
33 slash
19 parry
and rest shield sumth like 11

This specc works ok for a group pally in rvr

if i were to solo id go sumth like

44 2-h
42 shield
35 chant
29 slash
and the leftover in parry

that due to its bloody hard to get stun chain in on a solo target :touch:

im currently s/s but respeccing 2h for DR

does that mean you will finally hit harder then me ?

DF mobs were designed for players in seal/epic armor/weapons.. attack an orange con mob in toa which uses styles when you have low or no parry skill, a 36 heal chant and trying to hit a mob that parries with a 5.2-9 speed 2hand slasher with paladin weaponskill.
The 2hand anytime chain is crap and you wont be able to use side/rear chains on a mob.
If you're not going to rvr in a well balanced group there really isnt a point of being 2hand spec, my paladin is currently 5l6 ml10 and fully toa'ed (+26 str cap +11 slash/2hand 250 quick when buffed, high hits, gov/scalars/som/malice/battler/cb etc) and there is no reason i should ever be main tank as my defense is non existant, so im a damage dealer? even an armsman would suit my role better in pve.
Do i regret making a 2hand temp and respeccing? I must have tried every possible combination of paladin specs since i started playing and 2hand is by far the most fun (maybe as i spent 3 years as 50 shield) but completly pointless, if you want the challenge of soloing as 2hand or you have a group of friends you pve with who dont expect you to play as MA/MT (unless you have some damn good clerics) then go for it.

Heh , and what grp is gonna take me without a good end chant .... mind u what grp is gonna take me anyway but then i play RvR in pickup grps and guild grps anyway, we go for fun not L337orz Arpees

i been fiddling and come up with 46chants 44-2h 39slash 14parry 7 shield too
for engage vs archers ofc, and to top up health on yellows with engage-healchant when i take a beatin

may drop a little of slash to 37 <RR3 aint "that" hard to get> and 42chants , so i can spec higher in parry. ToA normal mobs aint that hard tbh, my meleetic pwned reds pretty easy , and i dont go hunting purp stuff solo anyway. Anyway most important factor is fun , who cares about being super hard or capped and shit anyway.

Just loggedin and specced my Paladin something like 50 2Handed, 42 Shield 37 Chants rest in Parry, havent quite tested it yet, but could be a nice spec for slam [Bodyguard Maybe] and also with the 50 spec in 2Handed random variance with styles of course, but id like to see what true variance we get with no base slash / crush / thrust.

 

[Kahvi]

im gonna try 44 2h, 34 slash, 42 shield, 32 chants tho i would like the red end.. maybe drop shield in the end.. dunno.
