Need good paladin Build!

[Yardsalez]

I want to make a pally and i dont know what i should spend skill points and attribute points on. Can someone plz make a list and post! I think pallies use items that require strength but give like m/s and crit and stuff. So far i have a pharoh's sword of thoth, and a mynas helmet of thoth thx!

ViolentSaint's post seems to be the authoritative guide to the Paladin:

Thanks, i looked at that one earlier. It isnt an updated guide i thought? lvl 35-40 now the lvl cap is 45 so idk what to do

[FluffNStuff]

Gear is the same, just level 45. (Spear of Thoth + all other thoth). For stats, similarly up your str to wear the gear (believe it is 142, but make sure to check your Lvl 45 gear first) then the rest in Dex.

[Yardsalez]

ok thx do you think i should wait till ao3 to respec?

[Yardsalez]

On Violents thread it says put 11 in for 1 m/s should i just put 11? or since the lvl cap raised put more? Im going to collect my items see how much str i need put in dex but im confused about the int put 11 in?

Don't bother with 11 Int. Since you will be wearing Thoth gear, even one piece will put you over the Int for 1 M/s. Unless you are planning ahead for stat-driven skills when some Int might become useful, just go 142 Str, the rest in Dex. I recommend the following skill point distribution:
5, 0, 5, 1
5, 2, 5, 5
5, 1, 5, 5

shouldnt i do violents skill point distribution?

It's up to you. I think mine's better ;) . Only major differences are he spends points in mana shield which since they provide only 2 points of armor buff per SP, I don't think is worth it, and also his isn't updated for level 45 I don't think.

Lol, thanks, but Violent's a pretty good guy too ;)

[Yardsalez]

[Violentsaint]

people are talking about me! ^-^

[Yardsalez]

lol yes we are violent do you have any thoth items for sell? djinn spear of thoth, mynas plate of thoth, and or scarab buckler of thoth?

[Violentsaint]

i have a lvl 40 thoth body u can have for free instead of the isis cloth u wanted :)

[Yardsalez]

ok, are you on right now?

[cry]

Ho0ho. Use my build 5/5 Firestorm, nothing else =)
Mostly a low level build =(

[Yardsalez]

what is the real purpose of the paladin? Do we just hit with spears and use lightning and firestorm? my djinn spear it says 76-106 damage it alwways does about 87 which isnt that great. Do pallys heal? Tank? what

Paladins, like any other class can be played in a variety of ways. They can certainly heal (it's one of the best mage abilities regardless of build), they can buff and debuff, and unleash crazy AOE damage, and they can be a secondary tank to an extent, though only with BOV or Mana Shield up, and even then not as effectively as a bear with real tanking skills. A lot of them, from my observations, don't even engage in melee combat all that much, instead running around spamming AOE spells and debuffs.

[Yardsalez]

Yea i just spam debuffs aoe and when they are on a little cd i swing my spear thx
