Favourite PvE pally weapon

[Coriolanus]

Vote for your best PvE pally weapon overall

 

[Coriolanus]

I vote for the shadow blade, as it gives you a permanent 5.1dps damage shield when wielded.

 

[Darzil]

Voted heal proc, as it's just so insane on a pally vs single opponents. Currently use champ weapon for it's 5% extra melee resists.

For me a PvE paladin is about staying alive longer, and keeping aggro, rather than damage dealing. Heal procs help on both, champion weapon only on the former.

Best PvE shield is of course the Shield of Fiendish Fantasy, if you're not using it, you're doing something wrong. (It, along with Barbed Bone Bracer, Bone Belt of Blocking and Pendant of Entrancing Reverie are the first 4 items into a PvE pally template for me - +10% blocking/parrying/reactionary damage)

Not sure of it's name, but I think there is a sword with a pbaoe dd proc which might be better in the specialised circumstances of an ice wiz group taking on multiple opponents.

[Bloodcore]

That must be the Avernal malison sword. Never leave home without them, but they have their drawbacks against single targets - purples resist the proc and reduce its damage, and it has to be put away in areas where pulling bad aggro is a problem, so must be paired with something else.

The damage shield on the shadow blade damages everything that hits you, so helps keep aggro on stuff as well as eventually killing them. Whether your fighting greens or purples it does a good job.

I like that Magma Infused War Axe on my armsman for pveing.

thats a sword u can buy in DF

 

[Javai]

Depends what I'm pve'ing against - stuff that is very weak to one of the Leg Weapon types calls for one of those to up, I mean give me, some dps

 

[uspe]

i voted malice. for rvr
but for pve its good the champ

That's great but isn't the thread called what's your favourite pally PvE weapon?

Depends what your fighting.
For a lot of PvE i'd go with either the sun sword or the blade shadow simply to remove the cost of repairing it!

For proper high end stuff the end proccer is probably your best option simply so you can keep styling while double healing. The extra chant healing will probably give better return than the heal procs off a heal proccer.

 

[psyco]

the problem with having multiple swords in your inventory is eventually you'll run out of space

or run out of room quicker than your conterparts

 

[Basic_X]

annything that looks like a falcion, couse it is my fav slash weapon

I've never been that worried about end, I can style about 3/4 of blows when twisting, as most of them are riposte rather than amytheyst slash (50+13 Shield + MoB IV + 10% pve blocking for the win).

Not that it isn't nice, but I prefer an 80 delve heal to an extra style every 1/4 blow. It'll generate more aggro (against high monsters/multiple monsters) than hitting a bit harder, and keep me up longer.

1rst of all lets remember we talking of a pally so please dont come with the end. BS.

1vs1 ( yeallow ) Traitors - pets procs nicely on these loltap loltap

1vsX Champ weapon - 5 melee resists rox

Has for any false prophet that claims heal proc swords or ablative ones is false. If you want heal procs or ablatives you put it on shield/armor cause thats were they will hit more(or else your completly wrong on template ) therefor proc more.
if you have fantasy shield guess your gonna have to put those heal procs in armor
Would advise puting Hauberk of anomalies also, 130 healproc rox ^^

You can't double heal twist and constantly style without running out of end, so end proccers do have a purpose.

Since reactive procs on the shield don't work in PvE then your even more wrong on your template than the rest of us.

but for pve its good the champ

swich betwen malice and traitors fore RvR please malice undtil it procs and then swich to traitors

dunno if its me but traitors mist's loltaps get resisted whole time (well against mobs, against players i don't have any prob with resists)

 

[Darzil]

Well, this thread has some interesting answers. I think people are seeing the role of a PvE Paladin differently to me.

I see two main roles, tanking vs. high purples, trying to keep aggro, and tanking vs. lots of red/purples, trying to keep aggro in an ice wiz group.

Quite a lot of the weapons on that list will have their procs resisted for the first role, and won't achieve much to help in the second role.

Have no problem with resists while playing mincer, will put it on pally now since it worked so well on mincer

I never had problem with that before pallys had ablative and haste chant. Atm you might need but would rather put another thing on sword.

You´r correct they dont work, i missed that part. But i still think heal proc on 50 shield pally is the best.

 

[SoulFly]

Crafted weapon of x SPD depending on your buffed QUI, HASTEPROC (equals calculated 1.5 swingspeed) with a dot proc.

 

[Enli]

think best choice aint even in it, new df weapons rock ur world at least what i'm using vw proccs so often

 

[Rub]

hmm, might've changed since the last time i used traitors lol, will try it again sometime when i come back (or it didn't but i just never had luck with resists )

btw what would've been nice in the list is the dmg + heal proc weaps btw after i read Darzil's post that keeps aggro and u abit alive

but still for keeping yourself alive i like melee buffers more then anything

 

[uspe]

lol
soulfly where did you got that photo next on your name

 

[Manisch Depressiv]

I voted Battler because I assume the to hit bonus works in PvE. Also I assume the charge works for self-protection. Also I am lazy and PvE with RvR suits only.

 

[Amanita]

Petrified Tentacle Axe. 10 dex cap, 40 hits cap and 11 AF. I choose this purely for the stats on it.
