Paladin Realm Abilities

[Turamber]

Okay we've got used to these realm abilities now ... which ones do you have?

At present I have:-

Faith Heal
Aug Dex 2
Tireless 1
Mastery of Blocking 2
Mastery of Parrying 2
Mastery of Pain 2

With one spare point in hand at RR4 L2.

Some have suggested a respec to have Faith Heal and Ignore Pain would be worthwhile.

Thoughts gentlemen please?

 

[old.Bubble]

dunno that seems pretty solid to me
my pally on pellinor has FH, Aug str and con instead and needs a respec

When blocking and parrying in RvR gets fixed your notice the difference

No purge? Always been a lifesaver for me.

Just a question; Mastery of Blocking and Parrying 2... do you actually block and parry much now?

What ever u do, wait till the new patch, things get cheaper then,

Master of parry=3%
Each parry lv=0.5%(so people say)

So each lv of master of parry is the same as 6 lvs of parry.Yes it does make you parry more,does work for me and some guildies have liked it.

Purge costs far too much for its limited use. If one does Purge in most RvR situations you'll simply be the first one to get ganked. And if you don't get ganked we can be stunned/mezzed very quickly again anyway.

Mastery of Blocking and Parrying will come into their own in the next patch, but at present I'm rather handy at blocking arrows

Hmm.. from my limited experience of RvR, I've found it to be very useful... in certain situations. Sure if you purge with a huge army there you're going to get killed first, but it is useful in situations where you might just have the upper hand. If you can purge and start whacking things with everyone else, you're going to get more realm points. Very selfish, I know!

Also, I find it very hard to kill Shadowblades without using purge. If they freely get off all their styles while they've stunned me with creeping death I usually die.. especially if they're got IP. However, having purged and then slamed, I managed to beat a shadowblade even though he used IP on me which I was very proud of!

 

[Turamber]

Sure Vince, it would have its uses. But I RvR more regularly than yourself, and most RvR consists of larger scale combats. I sometimes come across the enemy in 1v1 situations but, to my mind, those 10 realm skill points are better off spent on realm skills that can be used more often.


Thanks to the posters above! I've decided to keep my skill spec as it is and spent my free point on Avoidance of Magic 1.

If you want your character to be effective i think passives skills are best to get first.

Purge was the first RA i got
lifesaver V assasins enchanters/eldys

gets rid of CD stun/lifebane and str/con debuff

 

[old.willowywicca]

first RA I got was IP , was all I could afford at the time.. the rps started flowing in afterwards tho
