The 6 Ranger splash is dead!

[LordPiglet]

True, but its more of a debate now, with the haste gone. Full 20 pally looks more attractive as a damage dealer than it once did -vs- a 6 ranger 14 pally.

full 20 paly would give you the capstone

14 paly would give you zeal (10% double strike) and Temptest I (10% additional offhand chance).

Full 20 Paladin will also give you the "Weapon of Good" effect that will let your Epic Sword of Shadows beat the good component of DR while you use the slot on it to grab Silver for devil annihiliation or Cold-Iron for Marilith devastation
