I know people will hate this comment but I never fancied the Ghoulbane beyond level 30 after the 30 2hander dmg is uncapped. P.s if you PM me your name I'll try organize that you get a Baton of Faith if you choose to accept gifts =) | |||

No groups in CB last night (working those weird off-peak EST hours feelsbadman), but I was able to solo grind myself from 9-10 without too much pain. I'll be off work Friday & Saturday so I imagine I'll find some more people in there during that time.
I was actually kind of surprised at something. When I swapped from the 1h sword + shield and used my Dwarven Axe, I was hitting the mobs for a whooping 28 dmg! Don't ask me why, but for some reason I thought the cap was 20. I was very pleased. I guess, from everything I've read, I better relish this "big number" while I can because paladin damage will fall off haha. Still, having a blast. Thanks for the posts IGN = Insaiyan | ||

From levels 1-9 the damage cap is the equivalent of a 10-damage weapon. In practice this means you'll hit for 20, plus whatever bonus you gain from damage scaling (not much at those levels). From levels 10-19 the cap is the equivalent of a 14-damage weapon, meaning you'll hit for 28 plus whatever you gain from strength or scaling. The benefit of raw stats scales with level, as does the basic damage table, so by the upper teens most players will hit for in the 30's. From levels 20-29 the damage cap is supposedly a 30-damage weapon, although I haven't personally tested a weapon with higher damage than that to confirm it and it's unlikely you'll have one, either.

Excellent choice picking Paladin. It's honestly my most favorite class to play alongside an Enc. The amount of utility we get in group settings is insane, I'd feel so limited in a group playing a monk/war/sk, etc. (and I have). A properly gear Paladin is the best tank in 99% of scenarios you will encounter in p99.
With that being said, if you really want to have an edge, try to pick yourself up a Sword of Blessings from Velks. I got mine at lvl 17 with my Paladin. Many times it will be rotting with people hunting lower dogs, and I had a lot of fun trying to get mine in position to get one. If you're not up to the challenge, as others have said a Ghoulbane or Baton of Faith can get you by just fine. | ||

Wow that sword looks awesome. I can actually go try and get that at level 17? Sword and shield seems way more paladin to me but I do love my trusty 2h axe. Really looking forward to being a tank while leveling. I like feeling useful! Especially since I'm a noob.

You honestly give up very little in choosing paladin. The total power of the tool kit paladins possess is substantial. Fantastic tank. You don’t have defensive, but only one class in the game has that. Really the only draw backs are low damage output and lack of defensive. In return you get direct heals, root, lull, stun, hp buff lines that stack, heal over time, aggro on command and eventually even Rez in your spell book. Clickies and procs can cover the other quality of life stuff like sow (potions or jboots), zone mobility (OT hammer, WC cap, gate potions), invis, lev, etc.
The dps is low and you’ll be disappointed if you expected to tank endgame raid bosses. In all other areas paladins reign as a relative superclass with a lot of potential. Paladin will be my next alt to play around with.
