skill check

[MadHatter]

so I just hit 19, i set my stats at 0 for short term so I'll be redoing them now. just wanted to get a pulse check and see how Im doing so far. I feel like I should be training in other skills perhaps? and maybe i should cut back on some others. I dont use my spells much at all, aside from giving myself some buffs, ive never used any in combat im more into swinging my weapon.

Are you planning to stay THW user? If so you need to get on 3xing armor to get in plate ASAP. You are going to get hit a lot and heavier armor means less damage. I would drop MoC to boost up armor use and focus on getting holy weapon at lvl 25. I have always played a paladin as a bunch of breaking points get X, then do Y, repeat. get 150 ranks of armor then catch up on spells.

this is my dwarf paladin at 62

yes Ill be staying THW, so i should just drop all of my moc for the time being?

[Vusit]

i would or you can keep 10 ranks for FoF. depending on your weapon base, Mstrikes RTs can be rough.

I'd keep it at 10 ranks, for the FoF, even if you don't actually mstrike.

I dunno, I sort of disagree that rushing to plate is the ONLY option for THW users. There isn't a lot out there that's going to hit you for anything noteworthy this early on, especially with invoker spells. So you'll want to maximize your hunting. Granted, I do agree that you should dump EXTRA tps into armor use to get to MBP, then live in MBP for a considerable amount of time to where it's not a TP problem to continue to dump extra into full plate.

IMO you've really gimped your magical capabilities. Your lack of lores is a severe hinderance. If you're not adding lores you should be either 1) Doubling Dodge or 2) Doubling Physical fitness at this level because you are a THW wielder. My THW elf is 2x PF, 1x harness, and all the other bells and whistles including full plate at later trains. You're going to hit spell burst situations with outside spells when you reach Griffen's Keen.

Anyway, plate is good, but you're gimping on nearly everything: plate, magical, dodge, PF. These should be your focus for extra training, not necessarily MoC but you should be able to balance these. My main is a dwarf pally, and he's badass. My elf is up and coming and he's also badass, but they're a bit different. Regardless, they each favor some form of magic with their physical capabilities.

[MadHatter]

I've been aiming to keeping dodge and pf at 2x, as for massive I never really gotten into them, I never use them in combat so I haven't really relied on them when hunting (not my magics anyway, definitely spellups from invoker and such). Should I hold back on one and focus on the other?

[MadHatter]

So I decided to swap it up and go OHB/Shield. I stripped down all my skills and now I have a bunch of points that not sure where to throw them. as I mentioned before when it comes to magics and such, aside from just spelling myself up I dont use them, but I believe it would be in my best interest to change that once I get 1630?

1603,1615,1630 are great for critter control. as far as points go armor, CM, or PF.

[MadHatter]

Ill spread them out in those three I guess, or some anyway, I mean i have like 600 pts available >.> I feel like Im missing some skills I should have trained in
