Paladins

[Aedaris]

Are they going to get an upgrade? Or new spells or a level 10 spell....

[Jegzed]

Wasn't holy word a 10th circle paladin spell last wipe?

I remember Jacyn getting it when doing exp with my bard on ms wizzies, and then of course casting it without noticing that the zone had popped.

I think it was 9th circle taht was empty.

-Aedarton

[Galzar]

so sad. it was 8th circle we dont have, 9th was heal and 10th was holy word, we are balanced, probably one of the most balanced classes, granted we do need an 8th circle spell and i beleieve either full heal/stone/ or haste would fill the spot nicely just have some patience(sp).

[Marforp]

bah give the mighty paladins globe/stone spell at 8th circle ;-)

Really wish that self only sanctuary spell was in, but that would be way to powerfull unless if all classes get something beyond level 50 (read that as necro to lich transformation).

Marforp / Sasdor

[Aedarton]

Ahhh, u are right Galzar, as usual :P

[Temg]

Palis get Dispel magic at 8th

[Ruhr]

the biggest automatic upgrade that comes to mind is that 10 extra AC points paladins get from armor spells/potions... Especially in light of AC's purported newfound relevance.

Who knows, paladin's might be viable tanks this time around (that is, if an HP increase is in the cards...)

Hell if they fix up paladins, I might just switch--I had a 46th pally at one point, with avenger; fun as hell to play solo.

No reason why a 50th level paladin with avenger and -100 AC shouldn't be able to solo the golden warrior at the tower of sorcery, for instance. Might take a lay hands and a couple retreats 1w though.

rhur, bro, i had 550 nat hps at lvl 50, with con notch to 101 put me at 600 and 2 ame rings put me at 720, which was not bad for a tank vit put me at 900, then i had avenger stone and heal, no biggy i still died to padashaw in 3 rounds even with lay hands

[Dakrish]

I agree that Paladin's balanced pretty good (speaking from a level 34ish standpoint!), and very fun! This time around however (Been doin the Toril bit off an on for the past (counts on fingers) 6 years or so) I hope to finally get an avenger! Yea!
And I'd like to say hello to Aedarton haven't seen you in ages!

That's pretty good, what did you wear, red and gold enameled plate? Wonder how long it'll take to roll up a pally with 100 con and 90+ agility...

I'm thinking seriously about switching to pally as my primary now, wish we had some info from the alpha on paladins.

[Corth]

Ruhr, since you like to do damage, have you considered playing an invoker? They don't do the same type of damage dealing as vadis did, but they're about as good as it gets nowadays from what I understand.

Corth

[Ruhr]

Corth, I tried to play a caster, but it was a bit boring for me. I'm more of a hands on type mudder, need some violence to satisfy my blood lust

[Nilan]

You holy knights gonna need more than those avengers to catch me *grin*

Galzar, knight boy, your gonna need bout ten of em. And a holy avenging net too.

Aedarton, you might just get lucky *wink*

Hiya ,Dakrish, you remember getting me holy water when Nilan was neutral assassin
Thanks for than man *grin*

[Aedarton]

Nilan,

The coolest assassin. You know I can't hunt u :P

[Dakrish]

I'm with Aedarton on that one, I could never hunt Nilan. He's just too kool.

[Yayaril]

And you know if you ever did catch Nilan, he'd blow a gasket or something.


Yayaril

[Nilan]

No , I'd face my punishment with honor if it came to that *bow*

I'd just be betting my skill at unbind would work before the execution *grin*

Nilan

-accused but never convicted

[Marforp]

Actually goldy wasn't to bad to solo...hit too hard when you missed a bash if he had eq so you couldn't do it off reboot though... Still CC guard was there to do, cleric, priest, and if you were bored water wierd. Tower honestly really rocked for paladins if people didn't whine about the slow soloing of paladins.

I'm on torn on what to play this time around, but if I go warrior it's going to be paladin all the way.

[thruar]

Kneth heal? sniff

[Ruhr]

Marforp,

I'm thinking you're right about pallys. It's been about 3 years since I played one though--can't recall the experience progression.

I know you couldn't kill elites and such, so had to be evils...


Did it go something like this: <ol>

[*]gnolls
[*]split shield
[*]tower of sorcery agro guards
[*]?
[/list]

[Aedarton]

HavenPort was the best place for low-mid exp, then off to Wizzies

Black Griffon Road, Ice Crag and Havenport always had armies of palliedorks doing exp.

Westfalls was surprisingly empty, and I never understood why.
