Guys I've been reading some of these posts and Now i'm sorry to say but Frogs seemingly have the best starting stats as pallys now. Well if you put their attribute points in the right places. And that's just what I liked to say, i'm sure you guys are gonna say stuff and flame me but whatever. Just being an active community member.

no power for pallys?
# Mar 12 2002 at 6:35 PM Rating: Excellent
I dont know why people say we pallys dont get the power that warriors do, we and the sk and can weild the Frostwrath, a 24/22 1hs, put that with the shield of the Dawn and we have power of great feets. Pallys and sk's get this awsome sword that can easily hit as the power house we pallys so called "lack"

RE: no power for pallys?
# Jul 14 2003 at 7:19 AM Rating: Decent
After dueling mostly with friends, I've come to notice that an SK has slightly less offence than a paladin. The SK was using Windblade 50dam/44del I was using SBP 39/39 we stood toe to toe and he went to zero health at a quite faster rate. BUT he used his HT which knocked me unconcious, I then popped back up and delivered the killing blow to said SK. I have read somwhere that there is a differance in our offensive abilities. BTW the SK is an ogre awesome gear and high hp, I was one lvl higher though. If the SK would have used Dooming and pet along with dots, I would have been toast =)

I think Verant should have a Website with all zone maps.. Bestiary and quest info. Half the post I read on these boards are Flames. Really Sad. The website shouldn't have comments. Haste items should have Haste percentage listed. If everyone made this part of there wish list and let Verant know.. Maybe we wouldn't have to read all the sad miss informed posts. Just straight facts.

I would love more info on this BP, and possibly even a screenshot. Unfortuneately the only discussion you will see below is yammering about why Paladin's "suck" compared to Warriors :/

WTF?
RE: Don't Read Below if you want info on topic
# Feb 05 2002 at 12:40 AM Rating: Decent
This BP is very nice indeed, it is a deeper blue color, a tad darker than Lambent armor. It has the usual armor look for whatever race u are(i am a human and think it looks very cool on humans). Hope thsi helps ya!
RE: Don't Read Below if you want info on topic
# Feb 05 2002 at 12:40 AM Rating: Decent
OH also this is the best PAL only BP as of now, some say that scaled Knights is better but it truely isnt, this is better rounded for a Paladin.

Edited, Mon Feb 4 23:41:17 2002
RE: Don't Read Below if you want info on topic
# Oct 26 2002 at 6:02 PM Rating: Decent
It depends on what you're looking for really. For a lot of people, Hitpoints have a greater value than AC, which gives a nod to the Scaled Knight's BP. If you prefer AC, then this is your deal. I don't know how the resists stack up compared to eachother, but based on just those two factors, it could really go either way.
hey everyone, stop whining!

dwarf?
# Jun 11 2001 at 8:32 AM Rating: Decent
i was talking to a 60 high elf paladin and he told me that the best race for paladin is actually dwarf. i am a lvl 14 paladin but i am half elf and was wondering if i should change. is this thing about the dwarf true?
RE: dwarf?
# Aug 27 2001 at 5:36 AM Rating: Decent
Yes, if you look at the stats, a Dwarf IS maybe the best class to choose as for a Paladin.

But then again, it should be YOUR own choice in which class, maybe you prefer to be tall or Wiser?

Also take into account the armor graphics, humans have buckets, dwarves have little horned things which aren't very impressive, high elves have a back to front bike helmet and Half Elves have the VERY cool looking helmet!

Anyway, it's your choice, think about role-playing perhaps and just enjoy the game!
RE: dwarf?
# Jun 15 2001 at 2:45 PM Rating: Good
Yes it is, played just about every race of paladin, dwarves amke the best so swap any gear you have to a mule and make a new pally, make sure to get him to at least 5 beforeyou do though seeing as how undr 5 bodies tend to rot. Just get a bag full of CB belts and turn em in, that outta do the job.

Pallys tank
# Jun 09 2001 at 2:35 AM Rating: Decent
Pallys are the ultimate tank. No offense to any warriors out there, but us pallies get armor with stats and ac built for tanking. Even our EPIC sword has a DD proc with a stun effect. Sure our weapon doesn't have the best damage or delay, but it gives us the things that are required for our class. I can referr to the IC versus FD debate on the FD and IC pages and the conclusion is: in the hands of any other class, the weapon is worthless.

Warriors usually tank over paladins due to more hp and defensive discipline.
RE: Pallys tank
# Jan 22 2002 at 3:51 PM Rating: Decent
Aye, pallies do make great tanks. Second best, though.

Warriors generally have more hp/ac, and they can attack faster(more agro).

Besides, you don't need to be the tank to stun/bash mobs. =)
RE: Pallys tank
# Aug 27 2001 at 5:40 AM Rating: Default
Aye I have to agree, us Paladins ARE great tanks, maybe not the best but we're able to do the job well enough!

Also, Soulfire/FA and FD allow us to use Bash while weilding them, VERY nice little additions if i could say coupled with the use of the Stun line of spells of ours.

Anyway, enough ranting, let the monster always hit us and the warriors hit the monster!
RE: Pallys tank
# Dec 19 2002 at 5:36 AM Rating: Default
i tank all the time, its fun. but with PoP now you rather not be the tank most of the time. let the warrior's tank and lets do what VI made use to do..make mob's meet thier maker and keep the group alive. however i have to disagree that we're the best tank's, we're good but not the best. warrior's are the best tanks hands down, but at times they can be out tanked that simple.

onto the holy sword stuff. you CAN bash with FA and FD but you CAN NOT bash with soulfire, trust me i have one. and if your a tunare follower do the ND quest, its better then epic mostly (more dly but it only adds more dmg), the proc is like the same thing except called different.

#Anonymous, Posted: Jun 11 2001 at 7:27 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) well, i hate to break it to you bud but paladins are NOT the ultimate tank. we can tank very well but in the high end game it's all about defensive. without defensive discipline you are going to get pounded. however we can tank many things well just not the highest end mobs. even with 4,100 hp and 1146 ac i get eaten quickly.

Where to get
# May 25 2001 at 6:22 PM Rating: Good
The BP you need for this drop in Temple Of Veeshan from Random mubs (Realy rare). If you dont know how temple of Veeshan is this place is real hell if you work for Kael Faction cause the Claw of Veeshan faction is bad. So all Drakes all dragons and wurms are kos to you. Verant update ToV few time ago so no good drop can be fond at zone (we got one time the glove at zone and few lvl 55+ spells that all). You need to work in team and take your time to get items like those. All mubs in Temple of Veeshan are lvl 60 + so be ready. Good luck to you all wish you will get one.

I feel incredibly sorry for the poor, unfortunate Rudberd, for either one of two results have lead him to look so unfavoriably upon paladins. . .

1. He has never grouped with or met a skillful pally, or. . .

2. He has his head too far up his @ss to notice.

Paladins are the best tanks. At the higher lvls. our weapons are very meager then those of a warrior, but with our spellpowers (when used correctly) we are the best at what we do, keep mobs off casters and minimize the damage caused. We have high AC to allow us to take lots of damage, which coupled with our many stuns almost always leaves the mob directly upon us. We have bash, since we can't dual wield---a skill that can technically be considered another stun, and if those fail (almost never), we can heal too, a great aggro to help lom clerics and get mobs BACK unto us. If it wasn't for pally's interrupting mobs (especially casters), you oh so powerful warriors would be creamed within seconds.
It's sad that I have to post this since there are so many paladins indeed who don't play our class correctly, but if I pally is indeed doing his job, the groups have a much better time. It's absurd to think a Paladin will EVER hit for as much as a warrior, but we should ALWAYS be the ones right up in a mob's face, staring them down. When they're facing us they can't riposte, dodge, etc. either, and NO other class can ever generate as much hate as paladins do. Only the humble pally can ever achieve this, and unfortunately that may be the cause why the "wanna-be a warrior" Paladins make us look so bad. I'm here to die for you (if needed), at least show me some respect.

# Jul 14 2003 at 7:45 AM Rating: Decent
You guys have even bigger and better things to wish for at 60plus lvls. All the things I have read seem acurate about the lvl of hate we can gain example. Wizzy nukes and then casts back to back rains followed by nuke, now mob will run after wizzy but it gets knocked 10 feet away and is now just standing there, then one well placed taunt and wizzy can resume nuking. But dont get all high on your horses guys, alot of classes get stun, and use them to interupt gate or mob casting.

But what I want to mention here is what happens to us after 60, I have a 1150hp heal now, a group 660 heal, a 1 second cast stun that stuns up to lvl 65, I can pacify most mobs and almost alwasy come back with a single, and a decent Celestial heal that costs low mana. And that is what every post 60 pally will be. MT not MT who cares, when were in a group it will be chain killing till the cows come home.

Brother Xerton, I have to say you are one of my favorite Paladins on Torv =) I'm personally sick of hearing from ppl while playing how I should sell all my pally's gear and start lvling my wizard, cause after lvl 50 "pallies are worthless."

It's sad that after visiting some of the "uber guild's" sites and checking their rosters, that this same attitude is prevailant. I personally am quite satisfied with the Paladin class, and enjoy the roleplaying factor of being a Knight of Truth. I quite regularly win duels against other classes higher lvl than me, and have been responsible for more than a few butts being saved when the going got rough.

If I never make it into a BoW or ToD guild, I'll at least have the satisfaction of playing a character that's fun. My friend Aanladar said it best when he described himself as a "Roleplayer, not a Rollplayer."

Not to mention the fact that half elf paladins are the pimpest looking, and that's all that really matters (xert ditch the treeweave bro) ;P

Guess everyone forgets that Shadowknight's have spells that get agro way better than paladins do, with the AC to match...
#Anonymous, Posted: Apr 20 2001 at 12:32 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) #1.) Rudberd shut the **** up, warriors ARE FAR SUPERIOR TANKS to paladins. More Hp, More Ac, Better Damage output, Better taunt skill, An actual Damage per second in double digits.
#Anonymous, Posted: Apr 18 2001 at 10:51 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) ok this is hands down the best piece of armor in the game! and paladins get it. HELL YA AM I GLAD TO BE A PALLY!!!!!!!
for those who have yet to play a high lev pally..:P
# Apr 17 2001 at 1:39 PM Rating: Excellent
hey guys..well there are a lot of "i dont know, but i wish i did" peeps arent there...

why pallies get better ac things....we are THE best taunter in the game...why u ask??

well at level 55 only casters will get the taunt from me because:
1 i use taunt
2 i use bash to stop casting
3 (and most importantly!) i have 3 kinds of stun...and a sword that procs it!! (sword or morning)
4 they do FAR more damage than i in short periods...but then wait..one of my 3 stuns will be up (yes thats right at 52 (i think i got it then...give or take a lev either side) i can almost literally perma-stun a mob..) i stun him..caster unhit (caster now loves me hehe)..taunt..mob back on me

and if all else fails..root the sucker (either of your DD stuns will break the root) and you got the taunt all over again....

Warriors are the alround melee..3rd best damage output...equal best defense (with pallies since patch)...so your weps and armour are aimed to keep you here.. :P

be nice to come to one of these sites and instead of getting **** you actually get info on the quest you came here to find out about...maybe this will change...but i AINT holdin my breath..

Items to make the BP

Ok, back onto the subject. I know the flawless diamonds can be bought, but I don't know if the ancient tarnished BP is No-drop. If it is, where do u get this item?
This actually higher ac
# Apr 07 2001 at 12:28 AM Rating: Decent
Shield of Words is 32ac buff? Add that to the 54 on the bp and you have yourself an 86ac bp. Warrior bp dosnt even come close to that. I feel for you paladins though, grats you get something good :)
RE: This actually higher ac
# May 12 2002 at 6:17 AM Rating: Decent
What 54 warrior would be in a group without a cleric to buff him in the first place? When it comes down to it the warrior will have the most ac in the end in equal gear...
RE: This actually higher ac
# Sep 21 2001 at 8:17 AM Rating: Decent
Ok and now i start casting shield of words on my warrior buddy in his Kael bp > now add that 32ac to his raw ac and, tadaaa he has more ac on his bp if ya would like to call it that. I'm an lvl 52 paladin and i accept we don't tank as well as warrior and that's no problem, it's not our role to be main tank, we are on raids to do some dmg and to taunt mobs of of players who in now way should have agro on them.
ok so the question on everyones mind.

i know the tarnished armor for the dwarf quests drops in kael but where does this drop? skyshrine?
