Paladins in NF

[FlaXman]

i would just like peoples opinions on what realm abilities one should pick for a paladin when nf comes along, im rr3l4 atm (not much of a rvr fanatic..) and i cant seem to find any of the new skills useful for the amount of rps they cost except ofcourse master of blocking, i got mob3 and faith heal now, and i do love faith heal, its a real lifesaver, but they are gonna remove that and replace it with about the same thing only more expensive and it doesnt work on yourself, imo, BLEH..
so im thinking of respeccing to 50 shield and go mob all the way, but dunno how good that'll be, any ideas are welcome. cheers m8s

Ive been thinking about the same with my pala.

I use it for pve ONLY and its pve kitted etc. and 3l4 rr to get some basic RA´s

atm Iam augdex2 MoB4
gives me 50+13 shield and the bonuses from MoB
353 dexterity also

Im gonna do the same in NF. or perhaps IP2

dont know if u noticed but pallys get determination in nf as well
and mcl which i've been bitching about for ages thenk god we get it now, just a tad expensive on the points though :touch:

I mostly pve with my paladin but also do some RvR from time to time and was thinking of going for the following ra's:
Mastery of Blocking 3
Mastery of Parry 2
Mastery of Pain 2
Purge 1
Vehement Renewal 1
Toughness 3

All other points gained after that will go to Purge 2 or Vehement Renewal 2, not sure about that yet

as i said im not much of an rvr fanatic so determination isnt that much use to me for the points it costs to get it to a decent procentage.
And mcl for a paladin? i dont know how useful it would be since a pally is really the core of a group nowadays and its unusual not to have any kind of power regen wich is good enough for a paladin imo, for a caster/healer id pick it but for a paladin theres better things to put points into imo.
Think ill respec to 50 shield and go master of blocking 4 and even possibly 5 when i get enough points anyways, and/or master of parry.
Anyhow, thank you guys for your thoughts and opinions
