31 train paladin advice

[sfmatthias0]

I'm sick and tired of each kill taking a billion years, and I don't know how to make a Paladin that crushes critters quickly in an efficacious manner.

I have a 2x fantastically damage weighted bastard sword that I'd like to make use of.

Race: Half-Elf Profession: Paladin

Strength (STR): 90 (20) ... 90 (20)

Dexterity (DEX): 80 (20) ... 80 (20)
Agility (AGI): 80 (25) ... 80 (25)

I was thinking of keeping him as an OHE/shield or switching to two-handed grip and using either mstrike or quickstrike or both to kill things with 3 or 4 second swing times and bleeding things out. A focused triple mstrike might bleed a critter out? How do I make this viable? What enhancives would I need? I'm not above getting a truckload of enhancives to certain areas if thats what I need to do. Any ideas?

Nothing looks way out of the normal, maybe pick up some ambush to help aim.

One handers are just that way. It always takes longer until..

1. You have better disablers (CMANs or enough mana for spells)

2. Enough MOC to triple strike something.

3. Enough CM+Ambush to aim reliably.

Just stick with it, or switch it to a two handed grip and get used to stance dancing.

Good luck with your experimenting with various styles.

Maybe I'm missing something, but something seems...off.

You're 31, so you should have 32 CM and Physical Fitness. Is it because you picked up MOC 30 so quickly? Also, your shield use should be matching your OHE use at 2x per train

With a fantastically damage weighted sword, you should start putting in points in Ambush because thats going to be your go to. You're not going to be oneshotting critters with a damage weighting sword unless you're speccing in ambush and aiming. You're a half elf, so you don't have the same umph as a Dwarf or Giant, so you should be constantly swinging quicker and you should offset your lack of strength with CMAN.

What are your cman abilities?
What society are you in?
