Top Paladins

[chrenraf]

Interested to see the top Paladins total experience, skill training schematics, and reason of thought behind how they do what they do! If you have a 7.4M capped Paladin or higher. Post your info here!

[Menos]

I'll toss in my info, not sure how much use it will be to other folks though. Menos' build has a pretty different set of priorities than most. I focus mostly on not being killed, which means alot of point into defensive skills and things I can use for crowd control or setup. (Like summoning lore for 1630 targets and paladin ranks for CS) For that I sacrificed most of his offensive capabilities. I am in the process of adding thrown and brawling now, for defense and to take advantage of the chain spear he's using to hunt with.

In practice I pretty much set up every thing before I swing, 1615s, 1630s, and feints to get them down and in offensive. Essentially 100% of my attacks are open ambushes to the eye. I never use zealot and I sometimes throw up air wall to push him even more on the defensive.

Between 3x and 4x cap these days.

Very similar idea for my paladin, he uses a tower shield and 1609, so he blocks a lot of attacks, even in offensive. I don't have 1630 maxed for targets, but I do have five targets, with a four open multistrike. You aim for the eye, I aim for the head, as I use blunt weapons rather than pole-arms.

He's not capped yet, but he just made 94 yesterday, so I'm on the way of being capped.

I just like being well rounded. Might change to TWC, though.

[Menos]

Wross,

Your guy looks very similar to how Menos was at like 10-11 mil exp. Not counting all the secondary skills, of course. I never went in for scrolls or MIU, and rarely bothered to keep the SMC to raise folks. That 2x CM for charge and 2x dodge were my absolute must haves. Your lores are a lot more balanced too. I was almost all blessing for the flare boosts.

For something a bit different:


How much EXP is that?

[Buckwheet]

How much EXP is that?

Almost 9. I can spell tank with the best of them.

Menos, I think you'll find that when you've maxxed out thrown that you'll have less need for setup maneuvers, since thrown bypassess a melee DS.

And since he will be using a chainspear, there will be lots of knockdowns when he pulls it.

[AnticorRifling]

Anyone get Thalunar's input on this?

[TheLastShamurai]

This is all typical stuff for an advanced two-handed weapon user. The Religion was taken to 40 for the title, otherwise it probably would have gone towards Summoning. I might have more MIU/Arcane than most, but that's so I can use my haste rods/ewave items under almost any circumstance.
