Need help on 2h thid paladin - and yes Im serious!

[Keepholder]

Im making a thid pally 2h, and I wonder if you still need to spec a damage type as like slash f.i. to minimize damage variation on 2h styles? IF not Ill just go 21 2h, 24 chants, rest parry.

Also what stats should i boost? Is dex needed for 2h damage? Does piety do anything for a pally?

Thanks in advance

Yes, as alb you still need to dual-train. But as for thid I'd suggest you made a shield/crush paladin and ruin everyone else! They're awesome.

But if you really wanna go 2h, I'd spec it 15slash, 21 2h, 22chants and 6 parry

If it werent for the nerf to 6 sec crush stun I'd consider S/S. But Ill go ahead with the 2h to max damage, because in thid you don't have time to kill things with a 1h weapon before the zerg arrives.

I guess Ill go slash and 2h as you suggest. Any thoughts on stats?

Thanks

Hmm I just saw someone on another forum saying that slash is the weakest dam table for alb. Any thoughts? And what about dex and piety, are they important for 2h pally?

 

[CorNokZ]

dex is only needed for thrust damage and block %

don't worry one bit about piety, it changes close to nothing

 

[kamorrista]

quickness & strenght are very important aswell

Not to bump this, I would just like to share that I completed my thid 2H-pally, got him sced, and had some good times. He had trouble soloing, but most classes do since you get a fight without adds once in a blue moon. It is definately viable to play though.

My preference is still with minstrel, since I can move freely and fast, solo pretty much anything with a buffed pet (if mezz sticks anyway) and can even handle small groups if I see them first.
