I hope this helps everyone that is thinking of becoming a paladin, i have been a paladin since the game was first released in april and i have always hated being poor due to the amount of money id have to spend on mana pots, the new thoth gear is a godsent and i dont even have to buy mana pots anymore, im enjoying goldfarming for the first time, also this build actually works wonders in pvp also if the have all the gear.

i hope you have enjoyed my guide and hope to see you in game soon =D

Ive updated post with proper name for gear, stats for gear, stats with gear on buffed and unbuffed

enjoy =D

[Dizko]

Awesome, looking goooood.

Oh I have a question.

Any downside to all the mana regen? As in, is your health suffering? Dieing quickly? Etc.

not really, mana sheild is awesome with 21M/s =D

plus you always have enough mana to heal, it regens while heal cooldowns and ur ready to heal again =D

omfg! this helped me soooooo much! i just respeced to paladin! i was wondering.... wat r the benefits of having strength maxed?

[Elfche]

yeah. thoth gear is overpowered, while mages with cloth have to deal with like 10-15 m/s, while having less armor etc etc... as always, my hat goes off for the devs and their balanced game /end sarcasm

[Inching]

2 tiny details I don't agree with my brother on.... And yes who says a yellow skin and a white skin can't be bros?!!

U need 71 in DEX and zero in INT and the rest in STR. This is because u are spec'ing to current play meaning u need to spec vers the best gear avail currently. I k ow I put points in INT so u have 1 M/s but this does u no good currently as u will only still have a total of 21 M/s. Ur better off with higher crit and hit. Until u can justify with better gear with lower M/s then it's a waste of points. At ur current build if we go hit for hit, I would hv a higher chance to kill because I hv higher crit and hit % while we both have the same M/s. In a nut shell I would not plan ahead and spec for current play.

I personally put 5/5 in ice storm because it's true u might only need 2 secs with a combo it's uses is also for farming. When u r running from boss to boss farming, u would freez the mob u r running past and at 2 seconds I think it's too short.

For all who are reading this, it's my opinion only and I still love Violent and he's my bro. So if u diss him u diss me also. Hee hee

I think its up to personal preference. The thing is, you will eventually replace the gear and having that 11int is good.

elfche has got a good point, if theirs epic alien gear out in next campaign i might even sacrifice the +20M/s that thoth gear gives to wear badass alien gear.

its cool... i can go back to pot spamming, i dont even need money cos everyone in guild just helps me get gear i need, i dont even hav to buy anything, its sweet

that 11 int will come in handy one day

[Violentsaint]

im glad my guide helped, i only had str that high cos u need it high to wear thoth gear.

i guess the added bonus is more health and base damage

[tjornan]

Can u take points outta int?

[Violentsaint]

Can u take points outta int?

see if your int is 11 you get 1M/s, and since enchantresses start off with 7 int, you only have to put 4 points in it.

each piece of thoth gear gives +7 int so if you have full thoth your int will be easily over 11 and you will get the the 1M/s, even if you dont put any points in int

plus full thoth gives you 20M/s

so as long as your wearing the thoth gear you will have 21M/s wether your int was 11 or not before equiping the gear because of the int boost the gear provides, but if you ever stop wearing the gear people with 7 int will have zero mana regen, and people with 11 int will have 1M/s

i know its really confusing but i hope i explained it well enough for you to understand

I agree. Endgame, at 35 I had 41 DPS as a caster enchantress. Endgame at 40 I have only gained 4 DPS as a caster mage. I hardly consider that balanced. I have other complaints as well as to the slow speed of caster weapons, since we don't have "haste," per se, but I suppose that might be slightly off topic. Perhaps, I'll take that issue to a new thread.

[Violentsaint]

I'll even admit the Thoth gear is a little too good, but let's remember I was a paladin before oasis, I wasn't all like "OMG epic gear!" *respec*

it wouldn't have mattered to me if Thoth gear was never introduced, and as soon as part 2 pf oasis comes out, everyones gonna be sporting new gear and I'm sure pure mages will have some epic alien loot and most paladins will wanna be cool and fit in so they will wear the new gear.

This will all blow over in a week or too, I'm just enjoying it while it lasts

I hope your not suggesting solo farming, that would just be silly.

Who would do that?

*whistles innocently*

i know its really confusing but i hope i explained it well enough for you to understand

Summarized:

Full Thoth Gear: 20M/s

You without gear equipped with 7 int: 0 m/s
You without gear equipped with 11 int: 1 m/s
You with gear equipped with 7 int: 21m/s
You with gear equipped with 11 int: 21m/s

Violentsaint is only pointing out that with the extra 4 points in INT when your not using Thoth gear at least you will have 1m/s. This is a good point because the level cap and thus your gear set will be raised with the content expansion of AO:2.

[Rebel]

I went ahead and placed another 4 points into my intellect for this reason:

We aren't going to have Thoth gear forever that will be giving us extra int. I don't want to waste a respec because I need an extra 4 points in int to raise my m/s when the new str gear comes out with no int whatsoever.

[TrogZ]

BTW violent i find pixxies (who still plays, saw him/her yesterday) aka your build interesting. After I finish with Ceno (My tank) I think i may have to try it out. I think even when AO:2 gear comes out, thoth will still probably be the ideal pally gear. I am fairly certain that level 45 gear will focus on crit/dodge %s as I happened to obtain a pink 45 helm when AO first came out and was buggy. Very nice guide *thumbs up*.
