ring(swappable): ruby ring
gloves: hammerfist
feet: lgs fire res for hp
ring(perm): sapphire ring

Neck? I'm assuming Family Recruit Sigil for Family set?

ya i missed that. thanks its in there

[Thunder-Monkey]

Cool, i'm also assuming STR based as you prioritized ins STR over CHA on your Collective Sight? Do you have an approprite artifact yet?

people told me to go with the brightlord - thinking about going with the brand though..... im torn on that

[Thunder-Monkey]

Yeh the armor-piercing on Brightlord is covered by your Family Sigil, I can see the Speed 30/15 being useful in freeing up a slot, extra smites are meh.

Brand has Quality accuracy/deadly which is harder to come across, and Fire Absorb 53% will be nice if you run THTH.

I'd strongly recommend using bloodrage chrism because it's suuuuper good. Also you might want to run some form of MRR. This is what I'm running now: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

I have a bunch of comparisons below the filigree sets and have added your gearset for comparison as well.

Does it work with bastard swords being considered two handed weapons?

Does it work with bastard swords being considered two handed weapons?

As of the beginning of U46 the Chrism did not work with hand-and-a-half weapons, despite you being in the THF style.

Bug reports have been placed and developers asked during Lamannia events to no avail.

The text of those effects says "When you are holding a Two-Handed Weapon", not "When you are in THF style." Chrism's various unique effects are not meant to work with hand-and-a-half weapons; while they do benefit from THF feats, they are not Two-Handed Weapons.

what about handwraps?

Appreciate the reply.

There may be some advantage in clarifying how THF works with hand-and-a-half weapons with even bolder and more red text. There's literally a bazillion questions on dwarven axes and bastard swords every week with regards to vanguards, melee articifers, Fury of the Wild, etc.

[Steelstar]

what about handwraps?

Handwraps are never considered Two-Handed Weapons in DDO except for the purpose of equipping other items in your Hands slots.

(I totally understand this is the reverse of the Hand-and-a-half example and is kind of silly as a result - Not how I'd have done it if I were the one making this from scratch, but here we are :P )

[QuantumFX]

Since paladin is a MAD class, I prefer the Collective Sight goggles for the stacking MRR.

[Hobgoblin]

ok just as an update -


helm - arcsteel
neck - family (non raid) - not sure if i should be worrying bout the raid version.
trinket - corroded figurine
cloak - citys champ
belt - lgs hp regen (this is iffy could switch it out ez)
ring1 - ruby ring
gloves-hammerfist
boots - sunken slippers
ring 2 - sapphire ring
bracers - brightlord
armor - enforcers plate - could go coat as well...... not sure if the extra dodge is worth the prr/ac tradeoff
goggles - collective sight - +10 str

I am just learning to play a paladin and I love this... the only question is on some of the lower gear you have "cc" and the gear name. What does that mean?

cannith crafted - you get to pick exactly the stats you want on the item http://ccplanner.byethost14.com/main.html?i=1 is a handy site to help with it
