2HF Endgame Raid Paladin

[justintbelter]

I would like to do end-game raids such as Dryad and the Demigod, Project Nemesis, and Too Hot to Handle.

I do not have much experience with end-game raiding so I am curious if my Non-Raid gear will be enough to carry me until I can get better raid gear :)
I would like suggestions or tips to make this build any better. Thank You!!!

I would like to do the following:
1. Increase Sunder/Stunning DCs (With Divine Might: Sunder 86, Dire Charge 107)
--- Sunder for Holy Retribution
2. Keep the build to being Non-Race specific (I would prefer not to rely on PDK for DCs if at all possible)
3. Have fun in Raids!

Feats:
You could start with a 14 STR, take a placeholder feat, and go visit Fred immediately after entering the game world. This will give you 4 build points for other things.

I'm not a fan of Force of Personality. You'll already have a 100+ Will save. I'd pick up Child of the Divine or Beloved of the Divine for the extra to hit and damage.

Also, I'm not seeing the Toughness prereq feat for Epic Toughness.

Enhancements:
Personally, I'd trade the +1 CHA core from Feydark for You've Got My Back. Magic Missle Immunity is nice, and if you get the shield clickie belt from Epic Kind of a Big Deal, you get 60 minutes of +10 PRR.

You'll get more competence bonus to hit points from Epic Defensive fighting over the Sacred Defender stance. That opens up more AP for saves and AC.

Twists:
Confront Any Foe will only make you sad. (SSG noticed that the 3x hit animation was something that players had fun using, and therefore had to murder it with the crappy sunder animation.)

Gear:
For your raid filigrees, you need a Sanctified Fervor/Reverberation filigree on your artifact and weapon. (This will get you 2 pieces into Fervor, +4 CHA, and the Sonic Damage weapon proc)

The only thing I don't like about your gearset is that it doesn't really seem to take advantage of being able to dumpstat STR.

Maybe something like this?

Thank you for the reply!

I mistook the Sunder DC and being the same as Holy Retribution which isn't the case as the scale differently. This was the reason I was building strength, Sunder (DC=10+STR+Sunder Bonus). But this isn't needed as Holy Retribution DC = 10 + Paladin Level + CHA + Sunder Bonus.

Also look at the differences I agree that Force of personality isn't needed, and I just forgot to put the toughness feat in my list (I did take it).

As far as gear goes... how effectively do you think I will be able to perform with the Non-Raid setup? (I swapped Kalok for Brightlord [Minor Artifact] and crafted Collective Sight with (Con 21/Ins. Cha 10) instead).

Then I can farm for the raid pieces listed in the link you had.

You'll probably be fine. It depends and you seem to have enough knowledge to build a set on the stuff you currently have on your account.

Note on Mark of Death: Morninglord Greatsword with a 4 piece Radiant Shield set. R1 on a bunch of level 29-30's is a quick raid to work into your guild's rotation. 10 completions will get you enough runes, it drops Threads of Fate, *and* is an amazing source of mid epic level gear.
