Quick Build Question

[DrZaius]

Can a sword and board pally get away with skipping dodge?

This is what I was thinking of fixskilling my pally to.

2x armor
2x shield
2x edged
2x cm
1.5x pt
1x-1 HP
1x-1 Spells


Thoughts? Right now I've got 1x CM, 1xish dodge, and 1x Lore-Blessing, and 1x spells.

Thanks in advance.

You better go into some heavy armor to offset dropping dodge.

Not so sure why you'd drop blessing lore, though.

What's the usual cookie cutter pally build?

[DrZaius]

I'd drop blessing because I don't have the points to keep it, and still get 2x CM and 1.5x PT. I can't even keep it with 1x PT.

Ever since I got 40 paladin ranks, I dropped em and started minor spirit every three or four trains. Also picking up more CM and some lore. Lores for pallys show more of a bonus than most other professions. Not exactly a cookie cutter build, but it's plenty viable, and has no problems hunting well over his head.
