A good character

Glad you are enjoying your Paladin.

And don't worry about the big pileup that derailed your thread. Your build is your build just like your loot is your loot. Do with it what you may and have fun.

Lies!!!! You must reconfigure your build to precisely match the spreadsheet with 50 slide power point presentation I have carefully constructed with no one's permission or request. Once implemented, you must be willing to completely re-roll with changes pending Update 9, including but not limited to - race, class, build, name, gear and / or server.

It is the only way to appease the gods of Ego to which I do not bow down to, because my ego won't let me, but if it did, they would be in my top three things to bow down to.

Also, I shall be called... 'Betty'.

Hi

I just thought I'd talk about my best character I made: Staticshock. He's a drow paladin with a strong solo ability.

Stats
17 str (needed points for other stats; would be 20 otherwise)
10 dex (dump stat)
12-13 con (being drow does this)
15 wis (helps with spellcasting)
10 int (dump stat)
18 cha (important for lay on hands ability and other stuff)
He's lvl 6 right now. He uses a +2 flaming icy burst greataxe and does constant crit hits. His smite evil, on crits, makes him do 140+ dmg on hit. He can heal himself whenever needed and has a balance of stats to keep him strong. He has many form of DR like 3/Slash, Bludgeon, 3/-, and something else. He has drow benefits like sleep immunity, spell resist, and keen senses, plus paladin benefits like remove disease, disease immunity, boosted saves, and fear immunity. Pretty much the only drawback is his low con, but I'm gonna fix that. Because of his strong solo ability and super high heal skill, he's a valuable comrade to have in a group. Send him an invite sometime.


Good hunting

Hey man, glad your enjoying your toon! I would ignore the great big wisdom debate going on in your thread right now, having a 15 wis is not optimal, but it certain is not going to make your toon unplayable. Just make sure to put all your level ups in STR and you'll be fine.

A word on gear. I can see you are digging your greataxe but keep an eye out for a good falchion, it will lower your crit damage a little but you will crit 3x as often as you do now. Additionally, when you start getting the exalted smiting and divine sacrifce line its going to be really nice having that extra crit range.

Lastly, another poster mentioned fortification... make sure you always have the highest level of fort you can, and grab that necklace out of Relic of a Soveriegn Past the other poster was talking about. If you do that, and make sure to keep on con items and false life items, while making sure to max your str and bonuses to hit you will be fine. Also make sure you get PA and improved crit! Glad your having fun bro, pallies are a blast to play.
