Paladin Training & Hunting strategy
Ok, i've seen alot of different posts about paladin hunting and i'm seeing the same thing over and over so i'm putting in my two cents because i'm sick of the "Glass Cannon" stereotype most paladins have because they have a 600+ AS but die in just a couple hits.
Keep in mind, we're referring to paladin training for pre cap to cap. (lvl 100)
First off, let's discuss weapons.
Paladin can be good at any weapon skill because our spells help in so many different ways, you have to take in to consideration lore training carefully for the bonuses from spells, depending on weapon type.
Your weapon is your choice. A paladin can make anything from brawling (utilizing sancted gloves + knuckle-blade + 1618 a paladin can get 5 offensive flares on a single punch, and webbing your foe can tier you up automagically on your second punch! our spells that add DF from 1605 and at least Heavy damage weighting from 1608 make this a viable hunting style.), to using a maul or lance. I'll explain when we get to spells.
I am a capped paladin with mace/shield in order to control the variables involved with critter combat as much as i can. (crush only damage, best fatal crit percentage for head/neck shots) I have also used edged&shield/pole/brawl&shield.
~~TRAINING~~
Growing up as a paladin, you have to choose. "Do i want extremely high AS, or massive DS and an average AS?" the answer is simple. If you kill stuff in 1-2 hits with a 300+ endroll, do you really need a 350+ endroll? or is survivability more important to you? Some prefer the method of training religion lore for zealot and adding massive AS, but so much is lost, DS loss from not having a shield and lower DS from having a lower blessings lore is only a portion of it (see above "Glass cannon" reference). If you train 65 blessings lore, you'll have at LEAST a 34% chance to outright block in offensive not considering the unknown stat bonus (assuming tower shield 5% and 2x shield training 10%, +19% chance from 1609 + stat bonus?). That's HUGE!!
Lore training:
Lores grow more and more important as you near cap and are getting diminishing returns from other skills. i reccommend minimal lore training ,maybe .5x, until you have 35 ranks paladin spells for divine intervention (Beseech) and 20 ranks of Minor spirit for 120's nice DS/Spirit TD bonus. After that you can choose more lores or more paladin spells, but 140(wall of force) is only really viable if you stay in chain hauberk. The casting RT from keeping 1603 up all the time for low spell hinderance in plate is just too dangerous in a swarm.
At cap 65 blessings, 30 summoning and 15 religion is perfect. train more lores post-cap.
Why 65 Blessings Lore? +15 DS though 1601. Adds +6 targets to open casting 1602. extra 36% chance for a second flare though 1604 or a bonded weapon that inherits the consecrate flares at rank 2 bonding. Extra healing from 1607 (useful sometimes. mostly i use 1607 for the stamina gained and stamina regen when i need to mstrike 5x in a row on a swarm.) 1608 is one of my favorite new changes. If for nothing else, use this for swarms, invasions and warcamps. this does make everything you ward only attack you, so careful not to hit your warrior friend with it in a warcamp or you'll find his berserk aimed right at you!! This spell also gives 60 seconds of ignoring force on force mechanics for +6 additional foes over your MoC training! WOW! 1609 adds +19% chance to block, which is enormous! you get +9 more phantom Cman ranks from 1611. max effect of +20 DS from 1613, +10 Health points from 1616, and best of all... an unknown addition to the Heavy Damage Weighting already given by 1618.
Why 30 Religion Lore?
85% chance to make a target kneel wth 1615/1630. Both are awesome. no doubt. I use 1615 when i need something (quickly fading enemies like spectral defenders in nelemar) to stay in RT after i kill them to be able to search them with a 5-8 second RT from my mstrike. This strategy ONLY works if 1615 makes the target kneel. if the target is already down, it does not cause RT. This is important to remember because if you need something to not attack for 10 seconds or so, this is your best bet. I don't think 1630 causes RT or at least not as much RT, even when it makes the target kneel.
1610: +4 more DS (seed 5)
1614: A PALADIN'S BEST FRIEND!! USE THIS SPELL OFTEN! 30 religion ranks will give you the max DS pushdown on this spell of 15%. There is a trick to 1614. this spell is most effective against critters/players in a defensive stance! The penalties for a failed warding on this spell are taken off by a percentage, but if a critter loses 75 DS due to 1614 in defensive, they keep that loss of 75 DS in offensive when they switch. if you catch them in offensive, the effect on DS won't be as much but the evade/block/parry penalties they take are what REALLY make this spell special. wanna hit critters 90%+ of the time instead of getting evaded/blocked/parried? Use 1614.
1617: Zealot. a great boost for post-cap paladins to work on. not a NEEDED spell although most paladins (remember the term for these guys?) use it. WE'RE NOT REFERRING TO A 2X OR 3X CAPPED PALADIN. We're referring to a someone newly capped or growing. Remember, it's a guide, not a manual.
1618: Religion lore adds an unknown chance of potential for flares.
1619: A novelty spell really. useful in a few situations... usually invasions or PvP against a pure/semi. +12 more TD over the base 50.
Raising the dead 1640: 2x per day with 30 ranks religion, 3x with 40. have a cleric do it. you can't use chrisms anyway and it doesn't fill your head.
Why 15 summning lore?
Easy. specifically 15 ranks because I like to be able to cast web without having to stance down first. once you get 20 ranks of summoning lore web becomes a bolt. paladins don't bolt.
15 ranks also gives bonuses to:
1602: adds +1 RT for a total +3 on a failed warding roll.
1603: max benefit.
1604: Increases damage done by plasma flares from 1604 or paladin bonding rank 2
1605: +2% DF. next DF bonus is 18 ranks. you can move here for the extra 1% DF but... meh
1625: mana capacity of the bonded weapon is increased by +1 per rank, level of spell that can be infused is increased. holds 20 charges of 1602 at 15 summoning ranks, which is what i use (against defenders to slow them down even more. beseech weapon, attack, 1615, mstrike will usually take out a defender without given them a chance to attack more than once and give you plenty of time to search them (about 12-13 seconds).
other skills- Remeber, just a guide, not a manual of how you MUST do it.
1x cman to cap, then work on it as a post-cap goal when you can. you need the cman points. don't listen to people that say it's a waste because you get "132 phantom cman that's capped at the 202 bonus for maneuver defense and open ambush". so what? you're not getting 162 ranks of paladin spells for that bonus ANY TIME SOON. get the 101 cmans and eventually 202 post-cap. With the training suggested here you will have 42 phantom cman ranks from 1611 at cap.
1x pf to cap, make it a first priority to 2x post-cap.
Armor use. This is a big debate. Growing up, it's easier hunting if you use your set up spells like 118 and 1614. these are heavy on mana but SUPER effective and 1614 is area wide so works great in a swarm. 118 is better growing up 1 on 1. It lowers a critter DS enough that you can usually one-shot em. My advice is this: If you use a shield, get to 80 ranks and stay in chain haub for awhile until you have more TP's to spare after training spells/lores. If you use THW/pole, decide what you're going to sacrifice to get 150 ranks of armor use ASAP because if you're not in plate, you're probably dead. (probably dead on a regular basis anyway, unless trained perfectly. What was that phrase again? "Glass cannon"?)
MoC: 60 ranks when you hit cap. 3x mstrike is plenty until post-cap for a paladin with our DF and Damage weighting bonuses. If you need more FoF you have spells for that.
Dodging/shield. train one or the other 2x, you can train the other post-cap.
SMC: 24 ranks. 25 if you want to multicast
Perception: 1x
Climbing/swimming: 1x to 60-65 depending on your preference.
MnS: 20 ranks (at cap)
Paladin Spells: 40 ranks (at cap)
Harness power: 1x
Ambush: 40 ranks
Survival: .5x
First aid: whatever you can spare.
Arcane Symbols is a good idea to put ALL remaining TP's into because this will increase your spell burst for OTF/Nelemar and you can wear more outside spells. 101 is a good goal but hard to reach.
MIU: Same as arcane symbols.
If you know a good sorcerer who can unlock scrolls, (Insert free advertising for Allereli here) focus more on arcane symbols.
If you prefer mage rechargables and imbeds, train more MIU.
~~Cmans, shield and Armor skills~~
Really can vary on what type of weapon combination you use.
Do your research. Test different skills. migrating cmans sucks but it's worth seeing for yourself what's effective and what's not.
Armor skills: Fluidity.
~~HUNTING~~
Paladin life is easy.
Growing up, you don't have much mana so make it count. you can ward almost anything your level or a little higher so use that to your advantage. Set up entire rooms with 1614 then open mstrike, use web if you are in hauberk (for low spell hinderance using web.) against single foes and lop off some heads with open ambush. If in plate just stick to 1614. Web is more expensive, but a little more effective.
At cap... Be in plate. 1614/open ambush works great, so does mstrike. I'm not gonna go into details for this because you're cap. if you don't know how to hunt well by now, you need more than a guide, you need a mentor. Post-cap you can train more armor use, but you're still going to want to use 1603 because MnS hinderance sucks. with 150 ranks armor use and rank 5 armor fluidity, MnS is 88% without 1603, 2% with it. Paladin hinderance is 8%. 0 with 1603 up. lasts 30 seconds.
~~Spells to keep up~~
Stackables-
101, 103, 107, 115, 120
1601, 1605, 1606, 1609, 1610, 1611, 1612, 1613, 1616.
Short duration spells-
117 - +75 AS for 1 swing plus a chance to activate a second, third or even fourth swing because... you guessed it... Blessings lore!
1603 - greatly reduces spell hinderance for paladin and MnS spells.
1607 - this spell is overlooked often. gives a bonus to stamina instantly gained AND stamina regen, as well as healing you a bit. this is good to use in situations like, where you mstrike confirm a room full of grimswarm 3x in a row, cast 1607 and suddenly you have full stamina again and mstrike 5x more before running out of steam and having to rest your mstrike for 10 seconds or so between strikes.
1608 - Ignore FoF for extra opponents, make everything not grouped to you target only you. Let's see a warrior block do that! the FoF offset effect lasts 60 seconds.
1617 - Cannot be used if 1609 is up. Good for those hunts when you need more AS, but are good on DS
1618 - This one's tricky but if used right, gives at least HDW plus an unknown blessings lore bonus to the weighting. lasts 1 minute, has a total 3 minute cooldown. 1 minute on, 2 off. if cast before the cooldown the mana cost increases by 9 for each subsequent cast (18, 27, 36, etc..)
1619: novelty/invasion/pvp against pures/semis
Please read through the section on lores for some more specific hunting tweaks and strategies using spells to your advantage.

Re: short little paladin guide (my two cents on two handers build)

Overall I can agree with you though some things I would beg the differ when it comes to using a two handed weapon, like myself. I don't consider myself "glass cannon" and believe it or not, I only zealot if I feel a need for it.
I chose to go with 2x in PT and 1x in Dodge per train as Two Hander wielding pally. Lore? Currently I'm at 45 in religion, 15 in Blessing, and 15 in Spirit at level 90 (balancing myself out though I do intend to pump more into religeon after I believe I have enough Blessing Lore). What does this give me? 189 health as a Sylvan, a decent redux to go along with my master damage padded full plate, and heavy crit padded greathelmet with puncture resistance. Being in Voln, I can use symbol of restoration, courage, protection, etc if needed. However; it's important to know that you know it's time to flee when suddenly you can't cast. We are NOT warriors with their CMs / guild abilities and thus rely on good things such as 1601 (trial), 1614 (aura), 1615 (divine strike), 1630 (Judgement). Thankfully Beseech (1635, Divine Intervention) only requires us to have mana.
To spell it out here's my actual training at 90 which is working rather well. I don't die easily and usually when I do die, it's because I got stuck in RT and nicked to death while unable to anything but smile and take it.
You'll note the 30 trainings in Minor Spirit because I don't like Voln fogging all the time as it would be a waste of favor (at least in my mind) plus at the cost of 5 more circles for the benefit to do Call Lightning on MOST boxes as it's tough to find an available locksmith and I'd rather not get ripped off the local locksmith who charges more than the box of treasure is worth more often than not.

You can argue I'm glass cannon, but I would argue I'm a semi "glass cannon" with my current gear and only zealoting when needed to so I can hit (for example) a vaespilon or a chimera that has 500 DS. Just FYI: my infamous katana is 5x (+25) and my armor (voln armor, t3, MDP) is +22.
As a two hander, in the Rift, I usually stance dance on Plane 3 and ignore the warlocks. For those that don't know, stance dance means starting in Stance Defensive, then waiting for beastie to attack, then you change stances to offense, return attack, then immediately go back to defensive stance when you can. If a beastie is able be death critted, and you are 1xing in CMs, then you can try to AIM at the head/neck and ambush <beastie> to try to just outright kill them. Typically it adds a second or two or RT depending on encumbrance, weapon material etc. You can and you will miss what your aiming for from time to time and sometimes you won't even find an opening to strike. That said, I (and I think others agree with me on this) open with 1601 or 1615. If I'm in a swarm, I typically 1614 then 1630 (while in guarded stance) and then stance offensive / multistrike and go from there.
So typically this is what a normal battle is. It's when you add bandits and Kenstrom super beasties when things get.. interesting

A little further on the guide:
Side by Side
Combat Movement
These are great when you are a in group for extra offense and defense
Also.. Crusade is an awesome spell to use during invasions and stacks with weighting / other flares from other weapons. It's a wonderful 30 seconds of fun with it's flares and extra weighting (can't recall off hand if it's damage or crit) but nonetheless.. invaluable when going after wave after wave of enemies.

Why OHB/Shield? THW/Pole is nice, but you don't need it to kill stuff. You do, however at times find yourself needing a high DS in forward stance (for reactive flares. see the next post) while you stand back and buff your party during invasions or just standing around making life easy for your younger friends. In my group, i keep up the following spells. keep in mind these affect my whole group this way.
1605 for an extra 12% DF
1613 for an additional +20 pDS
1618 for phantom HDW(maybe alot more, the numbers are unclear about bonuses above HDW) + plasma flares, one minute every 3, unless we have someone in the group to be my mana battery, then i cast it up to 4x in a row because of the increasing mana cost
1609 for an extra 19% to block rate for shield users
I usually cast 1601 on all of my group members for about an hour of 15 bDS, 15 pDS, 7 elemTD, 15 spirTD, 11 sorcTD.
With 65 spirit blessings lore, I can cast 120 on group members for a couple minutes at a time if needed for that extra 15 bDS, 15 pDS, 10 elemTD, 20 spirTD, 15 sorcTD

As a paladin with these lores and spell ranks I get the following benefits from spells, if all calculations are correct.
This is the spellup i use for invasions. I said a paladin like this is the best choice for leader of a group during invasions. This is because if someone dies, everyone else can concentrate on fighting while i grab ahold of the body, use symbol of preservation on it(or white flask or have someone else preserve it if you're not voln), then cast 1620 to send the body to TSC without anyone having to leave the group and possibly get rocked by a friend casting an area effect non-player friendly spell or something. Also this way we don't have to worry about losing two people because one died and someone needs to fog or drag the body away. Paladins also have 108, and keeping 1603 up, can unstun someone without worrying about hinderance in plate. so warcamps/invasions let your non-zealotting (or zealotting if everyone in the group can handle being stuck in offensive) Paladin lead.

[Teras Isle, Crossroads]
A few ramshackle structures have been thrown up here, most little more than leather tents pitched by fishermen to protect their skiffs and
nets during the winter. The Hog's Pen Tavern with its walls of stacked tanik logs is the sturdiest structure in sight. At the rear of the tavern,
there is a pile of refuse and a trough that overflows with left-over meals and rain water. The sounds of a bustling town echo down the best-
kept of the various roads and paths that meet here.

[Teras Isle, Logging Road]
Grass, shrubs, and even small hills have been flattened by a logging road many yards wide stretching between the forest to the west and the
settlement to the east. Carts trundle by frequently, and it appears that at times the traffic has been heavy enough to carve two separate sets
of ruts into the mud. A small peak rises to the south, and the low stone buildings of a sizeable town dot its slopes. A cobblestone road heads
south, towards the town.

Saplings push up through the wreckage of logging slash piled to either side of the road. The decaying hulk of a massive fallen tree provides a

path leading off to the south, where Greymist Wood sends a dark finger of trees toward the coast.

[Teras Isle, Crossroads]
A few ramshackle structures have been thrown up here, most little more than leather tents pitched by fishermen to protect their skiffs and
nets during the winter. The Hog's Pen Tavern with its walls of stacked tanik logs is the sturdiest structure in sight. At the rear of the tavern,
there is a pile of refuse and a trough that overflows with left-over meals and rain water. The sounds of a bustling town echo down the best-
kept of the various roads and paths that meet here.

[Teras Isle, Logging Road]
Grass, shrubs, and even small hills have been flattened by a logging road many yards wide stretching between the forest to the west and the
settlement to the east. Carts trundle by frequently, and it appears that at times the traffic has been heavy enough to carve two separate sets
of ruts into the mud. A small peak rises to the south, and the low stone buildings of a sizeable town dot its slopes. A cobblestone road heads
south, towards the town.

[Teras Isle, Logging Road]
Saplings push up through the wreckage of logging slash piled to either side of the road. The decaying hulk of a massive fallen tree provides a
counterpoint to the vibrant new growth. Saws and axes have turned it into a pair of great bookends on either side of the road. You also see a
path leading off to the south, where Greymist Wood sends a dark finger of trees toward the coast.

Re: short little paladin guide i wrote cause i was bored before work
06/03/2015 03:09 AM CDT
An example of a swarm against a paladin and what it looks like in invasions while people are killing stuff. keep in mind these critters are much lower than me so it works much better here than then. I'll try to remember to log the next invasion so people can see the difference. the big difference is in an invasion i can't ward everything so 1608 isn't as effective at keeping everything swinging at me. that will change in time as i still have over +100 CS to go with spell ranks. :D
Oh yeah, i added in the funny little troll translations when they speak.

It's a bloody root! A stick, and not even a hard one; roots in general are flexible, so I'm guessing it hits like a whip. Whips are pretty crummy weapons in general, and really suck vs plate mail; look at that awful AvD. If someone had hit you with that AS using a maul or lance, you would have felt it more.

True true... but I find when fighting n'ecere's at The Rift with 200+ roll it's typically averages between 20 - 30 damage. I can't think of any beasties off hand that use a lance. Granted, my plate has masterful damage padding shrug But still.. we can get plate that reduces damage / crit etc. That's all I'm trying to show and mind you that's when I'm zealoted. Now imagine a paladin that's sword/board and using Divine Shield as opposed to zealot and stance dancing. They could easily use beacon of courage and play tank.

claw vs plate. DF = .175. Source: https://gswiki.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Claw
It's like using a falchion vs plate, albeit with 14 less AvD.
outcome_margin = 253;
df = 0.175;
raw_damage == (outcome * df).round == 44 == Rank 4 Critical vs Plate.
crit_damage == rank 2 puncture critical == 10
total_damage == 54
approximate_damage_reduction == 1 - ((24 + 6 + rand(0..18)) / 54) == 1 - ((30 to 48) / 54) == 1 - (30 / 54) to 1 - (48 / 54) == 44.4% to 11.1%. I'd guess you have somewhere around 30% Damage Reduction! Not too shabby.
As an aside, N'ecare use falchions and maces, both of which have the same DF as a claw. So the above is a great analog for N'ecare.
>>They could easily use beacon of courage and play tank.
Unfortunately, this is not accurate against like-level creatures. You would get rekt in Minotaurs (10 levels lower than N'ecare!) and definitely rekt in the Bowels (similar level to N'ecare), with or without zealot running. Minotaurs frequently mstrike with Battle Axes with +85 standard AS for around 450ish AS. That would mean the average strike rage mstrike against you while running zealot would like like below. It really goes off the rails when they prone you with their charge maneuver or bull rush. I also don't know how your DS is so high. I have 264 DS self-spelled with 5x tower shield, 2x shield use, 1x dodge, 2x ohb, 4x full plate. You're using THW and Zealot with 259 DS?!?

While I was doing minos, I always did the stance dance and never engaged with them without prior divine strike or at least a trial (1602) upon them. Bandits are nasty and usually they are the culprit of deaths when getting stuck in RT with no CC going on.

My apologies.. I forgot to mention: I'm using a THW, 6x master damage padded full plate, and I 1x in Dodge each training. Dodge is your best friend when wielding a 2 hander. Sometimes I wish Divine Shield would give a parry option but that's likely never going to happen no matter how many times me and others keep bringing it up <shrug>
Anyway.. with the right armor and the player stays in defense, a paladin can still put beacon of courage to use if they are just going to "taunt". That means you can use spell 102 as well to give more umph to defense. However; Sword / Board builds are much more suited for playing tanks since they use Divine Shield and thus take full advantage of blocking. Throw in an empath or two, and the paladin can keep taunting, crusader and every so often Aura or Judgement (When safe of course). It's just a thought. Of course.. that's more of an invasion scenario - possibly when doing bandits or even going to Lich's Landing etc.

Could be I just had a string of really bad luck; being prone then rekt by the mstrikes.
Oh, this is super fun, too. The Minotaur Magus can empower the Minotaur Warrior such that when you block an attack from the Warrior, it renders your shield arm numb, thereby reducing or removing your ability to block (and I think reducing or removing your Block DS). It's ... not awesome.

You're welcome. Disclaimer though: I don't know if beacon will or not work in those camps. I do know that beacon doesn't work on bandits, so now I'm curious.
Beacon won't stop CMs from happening to others, as I learned when taking my paladin's wife to Bonespear. Dybbuks, waerns, etc would bite her hand but the attacks were still on my paladin.

Typically I put Divine Strike in my katana (two charges with my lore atm).

>>I highly recommend going to duskruin arena when you can to get resistance on the plate (With no negative effects) - there's plenty to choose from.. slash, puncture, crushing, heat, etc. https://gswiki.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Duskruin_Arena
Crush Resistance for the Bowels. Puncture resistance for pole charge / pikes in Nelemar. Slash resistance for Plane 4 Crawler Burrows. Awesome!
Again, thank you!

CML == Combat Maneuver List (e.g., Hamstring, Bullrush, Tackle)
SMR == Standard Maneuver Roll (e.g., Krynch Roll, Crawler Burrow, Waern Bite)

Isnt that just sunder shield that the mino warriors use? Its been a while since I hunted there and I used a Katana for most of it when I did so I never noticed if they only did it when Magi were around. That cman is devastating for shield users and an awesome one for warriors. Part of me kinda wishes more creatures would use it though.

No. It's like CMan Sunder Shield but the Mino attack triggers when your characters blocks their attack. There is no CML roll.
>>That cman is devastating for shield users and an awesome one for warriors. Part of me kinda wishes more creatures would use it though.
Vvrael Destroyers use it, and it's insane. You might as well just call it a day when they do; what follows is almost certainly death with their claid/maul mstrike of 4 or 5 attacks (can't remember if it's 4 or 5). They are also coded to put you into offensive before going HAM on you, sometimes offensive + prone.
I was a Bard in the Scatter and Sonic Shields are immune to Sunder Shield just like Sonic Weapons are immune to Disarm, but I've seen those with shields just crumble after being Sundered. Another reason Bards are so incredibly good. The Southern Scatter was actually pretty dang easy for me, but the loot wasn't worth the trouble getting there and back.
