Don't ever splash the third level of Paladin

[Yaga_Nub]

Because of items that you can get including the super-duper greensteel -/-/- or greensteel +/-/- item, you should never again plan a build with Paladin 3. The +1 AC enhancement, +1 Save enhancement and 1 extra LoH is nice but not worth it. You get Divine Grace at level 2 Paladin and that's the main reason for Paladin levels as of Mod 6.

Discuss amongst yourselves!

I don't get how greensteel enters into that equation. 1 AC is 1 AC and 1 Save is 1 Save. Do they somehow not stack with bonuses from greensteel items?

Certainly paladin 2 is the big benefit but not many classes will get anything especialy exciting with that extra 1 level that is much better than the paladin 3 enhancements if you are making a defensive character.

And here I was, thinking that 3Paladin was for Divine Healh (Fear and Disease Immunity).

He's saying you can get Fear/Disease/Poison/Blindness Immunity and Deathblock all on one Greensteel item, thus trivializing the value of splashing to Paladin level 3. I agree that such an item does lessen the value of splashing to Paladin level 3, but "don't ever splash to Paladin 3" is a trollishly broad statement to make.

Hey Yaga, what if I don't feel like collecting the ingredients and wasting an item slot on an item espressly built for immunities?

[Mad_Bombardier]

Sure, if you don't mind waiting until L16 and farming the Shroud, you sure can. For those that want the immunities as early as L3, there is Paladin3.

Or maybe when you're farming the shroud you have your sights set on more useful items than a crappy immunity item

Yaga, in its simplest form.

No, it's a discussion point. If you want to see trollishly broad, then at a look at Beherit's butt.

I think that point goes to me B. As usual, you're outclassed by my insidiously simple arse jokes. Don't make me beat you down any further by switching to the "your mom" jokes.

If I'm multiclassing and wind up needing an odd level of a class, the third level of pali usually makes the most sense, but I would'nt go 3 as if the build wouldn't work otherwise.
