Classic Pally shield and 2hander

[Daldaen]

Well yes, Sword of the Morning 1-20 is awesome for non undead. Once you ding 20, swapping to Ghoulbane is pretty solid. After that for soloing Rod of Faith vs. Ghoulbane, I'd imagine it would just depend on luck of procs and what your Dex is. But 2HB probably wins out in long haul.

SoftCap AC its been so long I forget the values. Aren't they level dependant? I remember by the time I started caring about AC on my paladin, your gear pretty much made you automatically go over the SoftCap so Shield AC was extremely important. Less so during this era perhaps? Educate me if anyone has a post from Kunark/Velious era about AC.

And you are talking about hitting the soft cap. Hell you would have to be in TMO as a top officer to hit that for what it would cost.

Ghoul bane dps is terribad

So, quick question. AGI needs to be 75 ... or is it 78 for tanks? for the ac bonus or whatever?

[Daldaen]

Bumping this cause I finally got around to buying my paladin (20) a Baton of Faith.

It hits for max (60) pretty damn often and with double attack it easily out damages ghoulbane unless maybe you have max dex or something crazy. Was able to hold down a decent number of mobs duoing with a 18 enchanter friend and just self healing. Probably 6-7 blue-white cons would die before I had to stop and med up with this combo.

So yea I'll take back what I said. Without shield block AA or great gear/functioning AC, 2 hander is pretty sweet once your damage cap is removed at 20. Pre-20 is say get a Sword of the Morning though.

I did a parse on the bug thread re: armor class, at least on a 35 erudite shd, 100 AC was close to a 15% damage reduction in received damage.

if ur soloing baton of faith

if not bash is nice for lowering a mobs dps + spell interrupt in groups

id use a shield if i was grouping until u get 2 handers that let u bash (epic, sky sword, other shit)

[Daldaen]

Once a paladin dings 30, bash becomes less useful due to stun.

[Bazia]

idk for manas sake starting with 2 stuns for aggro and then being able to bash is a nice plus
