Bloodcore said:Im thinking of this.
36 chants (dmg add)
42 shield (slam)
29 slash (amy)
44 2h (stun)
16 parry (leftovers)
Is it doable (did i miscalculate)
Is it any good?
Good point.Golena said:I'd really not bother speccing for slam on a low RR 2-handed paladin. With 44 2-handed and 29 slash your damage is going to be poor.
Speccing for the stun in 2-handed seems rather strange since you've put 42 levels worth of points in a line purely to get an anytime stun?
At low RR I just don't think paladins get enough points to spec shield if they go 2-handed.
If your RR10 you might be able to make that spec work tho.

Im making this char for the celerity and magic abs - so maybe i should go s/s?
Thx alot for ur sugestions, i wrote em down - do we know how high chants u need for magic abs/celerity yet?Golena said:Sword shield i'd consider:
46 chants, 42 shield, 44 slash, 17 parry
46 chants, 50 shield, 39 slash
2-handed i'd go:
50 2-handed, 46 chants, 35 slash, 14 parry, 9 shield(I think it's 9 for engage, swap this with parry to get engage anyway).

thx again - i think ill go for this:46 chants, 42 shield, 44 slash, 17 parryGolena said:30 Barrier of Faith: 0 second cast/6 seconds/pulse/8 second recast, 1500 unit range, 25 Magical Ablative, Group buff.
40 Barrier of Virtue:0 second cast/6 seconds/pulse/8 second recast, 1500 unit range, 40 Magical Ablative, Group buff.
50 Barrier of Temperance:0 second cast/6 seconds/pulse/8 second recast, 1500 unit range, 70 Magical Ablative, Group buff.
18 Celerity: 0 second cast/5 seconds/pulse/8 second recast, 350 unit range, Haste 24%, Group buff.
26 Enhanced Celerity: 0 second cast/5 seconds/pulse/8 second recast, 350 unit range, Haste 28%, Group buff.
32 Amplified Celerity: 0 second cast/5 seconds/pulse/8 second recast, 350 unit range, Haste 31% , Group buff.
44 Pure Celerity: 0 second cast/5 seconds/pulse/8 second recast, 350 unit range, Haste 37%, Group buff.
44 for the top celerity is easily gettable. Going to 50 chants to get the top ablative probably isn't worth it, maybe at high RR if 2-handed as you could drop slash to get it.

Jarahl said:44 Slash why? Make a template with +11 Slash, your RR2 ? So thats +12 points in total, get 39 slash and get to 51 modified. You Amy and Back Slash and your sorted m8. I'd rather go 46 chants, 42 shield, 39 slash, rest Parry (23 I think)?
Just my 2 cents anyways
Golena said:51 modified slash is irelevant. Too many people have read about wyrd speccing and think 51 is fine.
If your 2-handed and only using 2-handed styles then all you need is 51 modified slash. In this case speccing above 51 modified slash has no benefit and you'd be absolutely right.
If your actually using the slash styles (which a 1-handed paladin does) then speccing above 51 still gives you benefit. With 50+12 slash you'd both have higher weaponskill and more damage than with 39+12 slash.
I chose 44 as it gives you the follow-up to the taunt, which is actually useful if your PvE'ing. I find points in parry on a paladin, while useful don't really give you much rvr wise. It's nice to put spare points in, but i'd rather have the weaponskill+damage. You'll struggle to find many paladin templates that bother capping all +11 parry, and there's a reason for this.
There's nothing wrong with your spec however, you've dropped a bit of offense for slightly more defense. The difference between the 2 specs is actually fairly small, just depends on what your doing with the character. If I was dropping to 39 slash i'd dump the points in shield tho and get to 50 shield as this gives defence for both you and the character your guarding.
