So, are pally's good now?

cool, thanks for that. With that in mind, where would you start Stats wise for a PDK using a b sword. Is STR dumped in favour of CHA?

STR should never be a dump stat on a PDK Paladin especially a Vanguard because the Shield still remains STR to hit damage.

And if you are playing more difficult content you will start to see grazing hits if you dont build STR primary stat as palladin9479 sums up very well in unbongwahs build thread he linked earlier.

Good Luck!

Great Sword THF and Long Sword SWF are good options that can be used from 1-30 without requiring any DDO store purchases.

PDK with a +1 heart lets people do some really broken things with triple stacking CHA, this update fixed one aspect with the DM bug being fixed but is's small.

While KoTC Paladin still isn't as offensively strong as Fighter or Barb, it retains a host of defensive and support options that make is good for soloing low tier reaper.

I wish mine could solo low tier reapers. Even with a good AC (~250), PRR (~60%), MRR (~50%), DR (30-60), High healing amp (cure lights hit for 400, LOH 1700), decent DPS 200 base damage with 1000 base on crits (decent crit range), I still get rocked by low tier enemies.
