    Default WF hate-tank

    I've been wanting to give paladin a proper try for a while, I enjoy 2 handed fighting & I've gotten a little bored with one of my toons (a pure dex/wis based halfling monk.. much prefer my multiclassed monk builds) so I've decided: why not get the monk to cap over the next couple of weeks (currently level 16), give him the $64 million man treatment (TR him), and use him to build a paladin?

    Here's a build i've come up with. Although he technically doesn't make the most of the Defender prestige enhancement line since he wont be using a shield, i figure the bonuses he WILL get from it should still make for an effective hate-tank for bosses, and equally capable of mob disposal.

    I figure both of them look capable at end-game, as well as being pretty fun getting there Any thoughts?
    I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was, now what's it is weird and scary to me.

    Well, both builds are pretty different, not sure whats your goal, with the first build, without using a shield, i dont see you getting high AC for tanking, if you dont plan to get high AC then i dont see what do you want the Defender of Siberys prestige for.....
    I think your best choice would be a mix of your 2 builds, a 18/2 KotC III, you should dump wis, not sure what skills you want to have int 10, but usually is a dump stat aswell, you could do:

    str 18
    dex 8
    con 16
    int 8
    wis 6
    cha 14

    (still have 2 points for dex int or wis whatever you want, +2 tome and 6 from item is all the wis you need to cast)

    with the +2 tome you qualify for dm II, i dont think you can fit dm III wich is a shame... but you start with 18 str that is 2 extra to damage compared with other paladins that start at 16...

    Even without high AC, defender prestige is pretty tasty due to the defensive stance for boosts to damage & CON (yes i know barb rage can give boosts too, but not the handy pally spells & class abilities), and the Glorious Stand ability looks nifty too.

    For KotC, I decided on Kensai rather than the 3rd tier for better general performance against a variety of enemies rather than the more intense focus against evil outsiders only.

    Overall, I think im leaning more towards the KotC build though.

    Of course, for something completely different I also came up with this one

    You don't seem to have the easiest instant hate tank enhancment for pallies, Divine Righteousness, which doubles ur hate(200% aggro) for one minute.

    I haven't met any player that can take aggro away from me while that's active or even after the minute has passed, tho most raid fights won't last long enough to see.
