Dwarf or High Elf for a Paladin?

[Snaggles]

The rule of this game is play what you like the look of. That’s more important than any stat or racial advantage because it’s a LONG grind and in the end (gear and levels) it’s all pretty close.

The FD is a nice toy. It’s quite a bit more obnoxious to quest than the ND. Even the FA is like 5x+ more time consuming.

The only downfall to dwarves are their charisma. If you pick your targets carefully, have a flee path, or know a puller it’s not a problem. Just don’t try to lull hard stuff out with like 60 CHA. Your crit resist chance is extremely high.

Even with ND I'd still want to quest for FD. EVERY class should quest for their Epic, IMO. It's part of the journey.

Personally I prefer Froglok Pallies (and Beastlord class), but that's not an option here.

- ND is a 4 mob kill quest (3 are grouped, one is raid in PoH or can probably buy the PoH bit as an MQ for 10-15k me suspects)

- FD is a fairly long faction/epic grind.

For a casualish player (if that's you?) you will get an ND way before a FD/FA

Generally I start working on faction and pickups right out of the gate.

Deepwater Knights is the only real faction grind needed, and it's easily maxed once you hit Level 7. Just camp and kill Elial Brook in Toxxulia all day. Lots of Deepwater faction per kill, 6 minute respawn.

Priests of Life just takes a couple hours of gold donations to Lashun Novashine.

That's really the only faction the epic requires.

Plus it really all is about Fashun quest.

And you cant go past those big foreheaded island dwellers for that.

Still makes no sense to me that Dwarfs don't have Slam with their giant shoulders, big meaty fists, and high strength.

[White_knight]

Agreed.

It sucks SKs have races with slam and Paladins dont.

[Loadsamoney]

Well anyway, this is the gear my Pally is starting with:

Sword of the Morning
Sarnak Battle Shield
Idol of the Thorned
Crested Helm
Crested Spaulders
Brigandine Tunic
Hardened Clay Bracelet
Kylong Wrist Guard
Dwarven Work Boots
Black Ice Leggings
Silver Chitin Hand Wraps
Sarnak Hide Mask
Chipped Velium Amulet
Dire Wolf-Hide Cloak
Crystalline Belt
Orc Fang Earring x2
Velium Fire Wedding Ring X2

How far will this equipment get me before I start having big problems?

It'll get me that far, really? Maybe I can save all that plat for a Book of Scale then, and a Jboots MQ.
