S&S Paladin Template: 101 Str/Dex, 85 Con, 9/7/8 ToA & SoM!

[Moaning Myrtle]

I know 3 of the resists are low, not sure what can be done about that. Think the rest is very good considering the template includes SoM.

Opinions please?

I can't edit my original post for some reason, so sorry for the new one.

I had a thought just after posting regarding the low resists and have substituted the Ebon Hide Bracer in the original template for the Black Water Bracer.

It is still not fantastic, but I think it is a decent improvement. Not many weaknesses in this template really.

All of the stats and bonuses above remain unchanged, but the resists now look like this:

Resistances
Body: 26
Cold: 26
Heat: 26
Energy: 13
Matter: 12
Spirit: 13+5
Crush: 23+2
Slash: 25+3
Thrust: 26


Again, opinions please. Oh, and yes, I do realise this is one fookin' expensive template, but I have never seen anyone do better TBH

 

[grizzy]

the temp is ok for soloing, but if u want to get grps also id suggest u get some matter resists

 

[Moaning Myrtle]

I only ever solo with my Paladin, so worrying about Group issues really isn't a concern.

This temp is much better then OK, as I mentioned previously, I've never seen a single S&S template that brings more to the table then mine (and this must be my 20th attempt at least at making a 'perfect for me' solo Paladin template). I am not being big headed either, if someone can post a better one (keeping the same artifacts) then I'll gladly use theirs instead.

 

[grizzy]

Personaly i wud take more con/hp over the dex, tried it both ways and the extra dex didnt make much difference.(the reason is simple, adds are just overrated these days )
And the reason i said ok was because this temp isnt really expensive at all

i cant be arsed making a temp now myself but its quite easy getting 101 str/con and 400 hits for the same amount of plats. And I'd deffinetly consider getting the 2nd arrogance from Eirenes Hauberk

Yes, but it's not easy to get 101 Str/Dex, SoM, those ToA bonuses and those Hits, Con and Resists...101 Dex > 101 Con TBH, especially for a S&S Paladin with high Aug Dex and MoB

Nice template Moaning, especially the second one with BWBracer. Balancing everything out is tough, but its the best I've seen so far, ignoring the price

Grizzy, nice try but some of those resists = urgh!

solo ofc and if some stealther decides to use LW's.. well, just hit one of those iwin resist chants

 

[Moaning Myrtle]

ofc it is easy to get 101 str/dex but try 101 dex/con and high hits ?
As i said adds are overrated which means they wont be all hitting u thru the shield, strafe/kite ftw.... anyway

Something... close to expensive for u : D

Thanks for taking the time to post that template mate, it's always nice to have templates for comparison.

I wouldn't use that one myself though, purely because the Str is too low. Paladins already have low WS, the whole point of having 101 Str in my template to to maximise low WS and damage.

Nice Con and Hits though! I often think how cool it'd be to have a perfect template; i.e. 101 Str/Con/Dex, 80 Qui, 400 Hits, 11 Slash/Shield/Parry, all resists 26 and 10/10/10 ToA bonuses...I can dream

the WS is low enough so the 50 extra points from 20 str doesnt mean shit

How wrong you are...of course it means something. If it meant nothing they wouldn't have created the Aug Str RA would they?
