palaldins+140+warcamps good or bad? 06/01/2009 11:09 AM CDT

ok i'm thinking of picking up the spell 140 and useing gold rings from town
if i go from 120 to 140 thats a +10 defence boost do to the spell 120
i'm gona get more shield use ranks to boost anather 25 ds
and more cm

my question is
if the spell last for 90 seconds would it be a good plan to incant 1603 thin 140 run into a camp and start raisen hell for about 70 seconds to bailing out?

I often use 140(and also 1619) when hunting in warcamps or the lower floor in Nelemar. But you do not need to ring about from town or run after it falls. This is the best part of being a paladin, you can recast those spells mid hunt.

heres the problem i have
i rackt up the armor use nicely
loda points and all but my defence isent what it can be
i was thinking rais shield use 30 ranks
and get 20 more spell ranks in minor spiret
this would alow 120 to give +10 ds
the shield use should help as welll

wich do you think is better 30 shield use or about 12 dodge ranks?

That's when I picked it up.

Personally, I'd go for the shield use. My paladin has 0 dodge.

It's in the low to mid 400's with my 'normal' DS spellup of: 401, 406, 414, 503, 202 + paladin spells. It fluctuates because I am incredibly lazy and don't always recast my paladin spells or things that get dispelled. I can crank it up significantly with not much effort, but...eh.

Mind posting your build? I'm always curious to see what the other capped Paladins are doing with their EXP.

Game secret :)

It's an OHE/Thrown/Shield build, though.

humm so you say no dodge?
the would free up point but dodge is defence as well and its a big time booster
isent the math something like for every 1 rank of dodge you get +.75 ds wile in stance offence?

That is if you don't use a shield or wear armor. Plate and tower take a big chunk out of that.

You can gain DS through lores and spell ranks to a certain extent.

Very well post cap. But to be fair, I was well post cap when warcamps showed up. At conversion to paladin (about 8.5m exp) I had 1635 and 120.
