Paladin Consolidated Greensteel Items

[arjiwan]

Planning on creating your greensteel item? Think about which effects you want and which slots to take. Check what items are possible on that slot before crafting.
Example: Are you sure you want to craft a greensteel belt? There is the Knight of the chalice and Defender of Siberys belts available.

I. Intro
II. Possible Effects
III. Possible slots


Note: This discussion is mainly for non-weapon Greensteel items only. This is not the uber end game guide, this is mainly for greensteel items.
Every greensteel item that you wear will have the Taint of Shavarath (oohh scary). You need to cleanse it before you can wear another GS item. If not, it will deal damage to you every time. You will need a cleansing stone, the GS item and a high energy cell to cleanse. GS items can be cleansed at the altar of devastation (Shroud part 5 or guild ships that are level 56 and above). Cleansing stones are available on your 20th Shroud run as end reward.
My intro thread is located here.


I would like to ask the Paladin Vets to help in the discussion.

Cheers!

Now that you've decided what effects, now decide what slot to take.

Head
Minos Legens: Heavy Fort and 20 toughness stackable HP.
Epic helm of frost Polar Ray Greater Cold Resistance, Charisma +7, Abishai Set


Goggles
Tharnes Goggles: True Seeing, Sneak Attack Bonus +5


Necklace
Amrath Necklaces
Silver Flame Trinket
Bracers
Levik's Bracers: Healing Amplification 20%, Strength +6
Bracelet of Thaarak: 20 toughness stackable HP, DR 3/Lawful, Dodge Bonus +2, Acid Breath

[arjiwan]

Belt
Lorinthor's Belt: Knight of the Chalice Set
Belt of the Defenders of Siberys: Defender of Siberys set
Epic Belt of Mroranon Strength +7, Heavy Fortification, +20 stackable HP

Gloves
Charged guantlets:
Gloves of Titan Grip: (Psionic Strength Bonus +6 for 1 Minute clickie, Stacks)

Cloak
Envenomed Cloak: Abishai Set
Mabar Cloak
Only available on Mabar Festival


Boots:
Firestorm Greaves
Boots of Corrosion: Abishai Set
Striding / Feather fall boots / TOD Boots
My opinion is, I don't want to swap my HP or SP gs item with a striding and FF boots. Some advice is swap it your striding and FF with rings, but I am thinking TOD rings are on that slot.


Possible Solutions:
1. You can go for +45hp Lit2 Cloak Guard (or Disintegration Guard when fighting Electricity Immune mobs), the downside is, when guard items should be taken off (example is HoX raid), you will lose 45 hp
2. Concordant SP goggles if you don't want tharnes goggles.
3. +45hp Min2 Helmet. The 20 stackable HP in Minos Legens is placed on augment slots

I use a concopp sp item on my pally. The guard effect is relatively mild compared to other benefits, but if it means a couple of spare divine favor/zeal casts, that can be helpful. One significant benefit is that it saves a slot by also including +6 wisdom -- and paladins are often gear-slot-challenged. It also provides +5 cha skills, which is a nice added benefit for UMD builds. It's in the goggle slot, which precludes Tharnes, but I like to generate hate with this toon (and I can umd TS scrolls when I need to), so not such a big deal.

I have an earthgrab guard hp necklace, and wish I didn't. For one, I now prefer the cloak slot. There are other necklaces I'd rather have there. Secondly, I'd like to actually have a damaging guard. Earthgrab is so pre-mod 9

Thank you everyone for contributing.

Imho, on a pure pally, a +150 SP item is not strictly needed.
The main advantage of SP items is the option of +6 cha skills, which most prominently include UMD, but also Intimidate.

The +1 AC of Air Guard's Haste guard bonus stacks with a regular haste's AC bonus, which makes the triple air items (also as a mix&match version with ConcOpp*) a viable addition to any AC based pally.

*E.g. ConcOpp has +5 Cha skills and +1 Str skills for 150 SP and 10 HP. Then you could go with +5 Dex skills and +1 Cha skill for Archmagi and 35 HP to complement that.
