Gotrag said:So what i would like to know is what RA's I should get on my S/S Paladin playing on a pvp server and Is 8L3 just curious as to your suggestion on what RA's would be good, solo 90% of the time.
Bahumat said:If you dont want that then i would probably go MOB4 instead of 3
Ballard said:Dex 3 mob3 will increase your block rate more than mob4, while at the same time increasing your slam damage and WS (to increase slam to hit). I would suggest adding longwind 1 aswell.
Righthandof said:and also dex is NOT increasing slam damage or WS - they both pend on 100% strength.
Ballard said:You most certainly are not right there, search back in the forums for plenty of discussion, the conclusion is always your Mainhand WS does not effect your slamming % and shield damage.
Shield damage is determined by dex alone. Try specing a paladin 50 shield 1 slash with capped dex and very low strength. Your displayed mainhand WS will be extremely low but your shield slam with still be very effective. Swap it round to 50 slash and 50 shield with high strength but no dex, your displayed WS will be reasonable, but slam will not be as effective.

Bahumat said:Is this a typo, for the second part do you mean "50 slash and 1 shield"? with both being 50 it makes no sense otherwise.
Bahumat said:Just to clarify something,
How much percent chance to block does Dex3 grant? does that 27 or however much extra dex equate to a higher value than the jump of 2x% to 3x% chance to block from MOB3 to MOB4
Ballard said:Dont have any hard facts all i can say is the difference dex3/4 offers is very noticable. As well as boosting your parrying and slam dmg makes it very worthwhile.
I was speced dex4, mob3, det4,lw1,purge1 but that was for fg classic rvr.
