Question about Ghoulbane

[Kaltron]

OK, this is my first time playing a paladin and I heard the Ghoulbane was the go to low level weapon but apparently I was wrong.

I am a very new player who hates to beg what would be a better choice I could save for?

[Raavak]

Ghoulbane was alright in classic, pre-Kunark. Too many good weapons now. Ghoulbane is just a quest item anymore.

[falkun]

L1-10: Sword of Skyfire (100-200pp)
L10-you know what you're doing: Sword of the Morning (1000-1500pp)
L20+: Baton of Faith (~300pp)
You still need a Ghoulbane and Soulfire for your epic, so its not like having them is a bad thing.

Basically, paladin weapons are vendor fodder at this point.

The only 2HS worth having is Soulfire, Fiery Avenger, and Fiery Defender. Soulfire can be quested by L10 if you can get someone to kill Lucan for you. The rest is a few invis pots and a fish-killing mule in Qeynos. I love having a flaming sword on my L12 paladin.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I do agree with the sentiment about the Ghoulbane being a lesser "main weapon" after Kunark. I know mine did me well into my late 20s. But then I landed one of the few GFGs on the server after Kunark hit. Boy did I lose my shirt on that resale... but before they tuned pally 2h damage on this server, I sure enjoyed slapping shit for dual 126s in the OT at level 35ish.

It was a sad day when the damage and connect rates began reminding me of my live experience =)

All I can say now is I <3 my Rod of Faith. Sick 1h for a pally. Just sick. It's almost like a GFG in one hand!

Weapons I have on my 23 Pally:

Ghoulbane/Crested Mistmoore Shield
Sword of the Morning

Arbitor's Combine Greatsword
Nathsar Greatsword
Soulfire

Nathsar is cheap and good for lower levels till you get your damage cap increased. Now I use Arbitor's (also good and cheap) mostly and log out with my Soulfire equiped so I can look at it on character select.

Nathsar is great because its really low delay :-)

once you get into 35+ or whatever it is for the better 2h dmg table arbitors is awesome- once planar FA/FD
