Calling all paladins ..can I pelase have ......

[gwal]

to be honest - I dont give a crap about what others think, only possible spec for a paladin is this:

44 slash
46 chant
42 shield
3 parry

and why!!, this is why:

3 parry: beacuse paladin is NOT a solo char. ur not in any way ment to use ur parry for anything, on rvr, if any1 with brains hit u, they+ll do it from behind, and stun u. in any fg/2 fg/zerg u wong care whether ur parry is 1 or 50, u dont need it, and thats a fact. if the opponent actually goes for u with enough ppl to bring u down, they WILL loose the battle anyway, and u WILL be dead whether u have 1 or 50 parry.

42 shield: well, slam is just about the best thing ever invented for paladins in rvr - stun rox, nothing more to say.

46 chant: gives the best chants possible for their points value, the chans above this wont be needed, u willl win without them, and if u loose, they would in no way have made the difference between winning or loosing

44 slash: keeping slash hig, make u able to actually do some dmg. slamming the opponent is not always enough, but bringing him down in 1 or 2 hits less can win the battle.

I have this spec, and I´d NEVER!!!!! respec, I cant in any possible way imagine any other spec to be better - I simply dont see no reason why higher parry or chant should be bette - it never makes any difference in a fight anyway - sure, if ur a soloing pally, it may make a difference, but a pally dont solo, he may as well have made an infil/scout/mincer then - pally is grp based, keep that in mind, and just forget about that crap parry

oh and btw, this spec isnt based upon what u can sol of mobs, thers a BIG difference between pve and rvr, but if its of any use, I solo red cons very well, and purple nightmares if I´m buffed.

but in any case, dont even think about how u do pve, the essence of this game is rvr, not pve. besides, a pally is so good on pve it almost doesnt matter what spec u have chosen

Thats the way you look at it, i dont care so much about RvR, it's not so fun as it used to be, i do it to get certain abilities now, thats all. I go to hunts, PL people, hunt drops, and just kill for fun more than i RvR. i admit rvr is fun when u get a great group and pwnage everyone, but that happens very rarely. so in my case Parry is usefull

If you go S/S remember to put 1 in 2-handed, then you can style when you play around with greycon mids

Hmm. Lots of good stuff.

Guess it all depends if you want to be group friendly or teh killer...

I picked more group friendly:

40 Slash <- would have been 39 but I screwed up
42 Shield (we almost all agree on that one!)
48 Chants (sure, you may not give a stuff about +28 AF, but that poor caster in your group does!)
rest in parry (16?)
2 in 2-handed for knocking on doors...

then adding MoPain II, MoB I, MoParry I + Avoidance of Magic I. OK, OK, I get Faith Healing next!

I almost always jog round the frontier with 20% Body Resist on. Must get round to twisting in Energy Resist during battle with dem dam Hibbies...
