Shield rvr pally temp

Currently im autotraining a paladin, closing in to lvl 50 so i start playing with a temp,
mostly playing rvr with my merc, wizard, infil... but want to have this paladin just
if the group needs one. spec will be 50 shield 48 chants 39 slash. With ml10 im gonna
play groupdefensive only so my temp wont have much str but more dex.

Ok so you've gone for saracen for the maximum blocking possible. However, you must realise that you won't actually block _that_ much in RVR, as the main people you'll be guarding against are DWers, to which you have a defense penalty.

As far as I am aware, your chance to land slam and shield styles is dependant on your Slash skill. The less str you have, the more chance you have of missing. People argue about this and say it has its own hidden weaponskill - I am not certain either way.

Constitution: 74/81

This needs to be 101...or very high for BGing anyway.

Quickness: 15/75

Cap this as near to 250 as you can (not hard being saracen really). Shield slams are just the same duration no matter how much qui you have.

Hits: 240/240

Needs to be HIGH for bodyguarding purposes.

Energy: 25/26
Matter: 25/26
Spirit: 26/26

Don't spend too much time trying to cap these. Mercs are more likely than you to get grappled in my experience, and Spirit/Energy are really only PBAE. Matter is almost pointless now, hardly any warlocks running around lately because of the nerf.

SkillParry: 3/11
Shield: 11/11
Slash: 8/11

Suggesting capping Parry and Shield for BGing, and slash to land slams (if above WS thing is true).

Overall, high hits, high dex and high melee + elemental resists (and body) and you're laughing.

you starting points were wrong :< should've put 15str 10 dex instead :> 48 chants.. smells and get cap qui and str is nice too. but str cap is not really needed

 

[SoulFly]

cap dex (101), hpcap, meleespeed, capqui, body, cold, heat, crush, slash, thrust. +af is not needed but always nice :>. Fast shield, Malice, CB. Parry isn't needed.

That's what's a must on a good BG pally.

Also eggy, I am not very sure if guarding has any penalties, only when you're hit afaik. And Con cap = -_- since 4 con = 15hp.

Search for more paladin discussion!

but u should have higher qui so u are able to hit faster to interupt any casters

inc 1.83 patch, hi2u celerity chant.

guessing ur going BM so what do u need all the block power for anyways? at 50 shield do u really need +11 on top (could be completely wrong ofcourse) but that give some room for more hits or something

You won't have it on all the time. HI2U low attack speed without it X<

If you have no haste at all, you have like 3.x sec attack speed, that suxors.
