I do have plenty of gear for leveling. I am lacking any ToD gear or chrono epic gear though (other than crystal cove stuff). I also would love to farm Litany of the Dead for the gear there as I have never done so. Seems to me, while I would be ill suited for newer high level content, that Paladin dps would be pretty decent in those above quests yeah? I am looking at this like a stepping stone.
Right now I have crystal cove epic gear and inspired quarter stuff for my paladin at high levels. Terror, pale blue ioun stone, fleshshaper docent, quorforged docent, minos, crystal cove epic tier 3 upgraded stuff (gloves, shield and trinkets), and other random gear to fill gaps for the essentials like greater false life, fort and +stats. This coming Pali life I will add green steel and holy swords to that mix.
I am assuming the next step would be for me to use that gear above to start farming ToD (once I get the boots), Echrono and Litany/Abbot items to boost my melee potency before tackling a barb/kensai/gear intensive melee build in a later life. Is this the wrong way to look at it? This will be a toon I continue to tr, so I won't be staying at 20 paladin, although I want to enjoy the journey and spend a little time at cap.
