    Default First Life Friendly THF Charisma Paladin

    Good morning, my name is Strimtim and I have a new build for you fine young people today. You see, people asked me for a feydark paladin build and I wanted to make sure I delivered on that expectation so here you have it, the feydark paladin that is first life ready for levelling and fun. If you want a detailed description of the build and performance, please see video:



    Without further ado, here is the build with no tomes or anything needed for success. Important note, this build does use the defensive stance which increases threat generation, which could cause future issues with aggro during raids, which is something to consider.

    Code:
    
    Character name: Feydark THF Paladin
    Classes: 20 Paladin, 10 Epic

    There's not a single item on that list that a first lifer can't get. All but 1 are available from standard quests, with a halfway decent chance of getting them on Hard.

    Bloodrage Chrism requires a raid, and upgrading Echo to Reflection requires running a raid. But if you're in an active enough guild, running a raid shouldn't be a problem.

    Bloodrage Chrism requires a raid, and upgrading Echo to Reflection requires running a raid. But if you're in an active enough guild, running a raid shouldn't be a problem.
    You missed the filigree, that's from a raid that isn't pugged ever on G land.

    The kotc and sacred defender enhancements are wrong. Way wrong in the sacred defender side. It’s like someone hasn’t played a Pali before wrong. Fatesinger points are off.

    3 raid items in gear and maxed destinies for a first lifer? Might as well add in an epic litany augment as well if you are making a wish list. What are they holding levels while they fill out destinies to get some of those feats?

    Why in the 10th name of the almighty are you twisting in cocoon. It’s a Pali. Lay on hands and cure spells or heal scrolls. Twists are harder to get than plat.

    Uh. Ok. So are you arguing that 1 stat point from one rare filigree makes or breaks the build?

    That wasn't the hypothesis, the hypothesis was "a first lifer ain't gonna have all that stuff." I am merely pointing out that that is the point of the revolution in the game brought on by the level 29 named gear: any first lifer can have all that stuff, especially since it is (minus the 1 raid item and 1 raid-upgraded item) bound to account

    Filigree is from threads of fate, which drop in any raid.

    Family Blessing is also a raid item.

    In reality, I think it is fine to include the endgame gearing choices regardless of whether the build is intended for first lifers. It shows the player what they should be striving towards. Sometimes that is a hard ask for someone without a lot of game experience.

    What would be even better, though, is to include some intermediate choices that are more accessible. For example, maybe the Family Recruit Sigil can be substituted until the Family Blessing is obtained. Maybe there is a good option for trinket before one gets the bloodrage chrism? (I'm hesitant to offer an alternative without spending more time looking at all the gearing implications.) Showing some reasonable alternatives would really help a new player, I think.

    “Action points, 80 enhancement, 13 racial, 1 universal” which means all the stats are off because the planner thinks this first life character is a racial completionist.

    Also wrong is the 25 of 41 destiny points spent, which means the planner thinks this first life character has 24 epic past lives.

    The more I look at this, the more I think this guy is trolling. What a jerk.

    Except for the Bloodrage Chrism and the sword, there is no raid loot. And the sword is an easy swap to any favored weapon until you can get the 5 schism shards.

    Necklace is a raid item, and there is a feytwisted item, which can be harder than raid gear at times.

    The goal is to have a list of things to strive for. It is possible to play and get all that gear, the main purpose of the character is to give people a starting point on the actual build of the character itself. Swapping out a few items is a different scenario than swapping out a whole build.

    This is good feedback, having an alternate set without raid items isn't a bad idea. I already try to avoid using any THTH items since it can be very hard to get into one of those. I normally include older raid items since they are run fairly regularly (on argo at least) and aren't tough to get into for the most part. I'll keep this in mind if there is a easier way to get this done.

    I ran something similar recently, but using a Bladeforged. I wanted to see if Power of the Forge was worth it (it really wasn't). But it definitely was a fun build.

    Can you explain how you get to 195 AC? The best I can see is 146, with the cruddy heroic def fighting turned on.

    I missed the necklace being the raid item, but the base necklace is good too.

    For Feywild, it's tedious, but it isn't hard. Just takes forever.

    Jeez, Ninety. I've seen people with over 500 ACs.

    I know that doesn't help you much and you've recently just come back to the game, but don't be surprised by some on the numbers you'll see here on the forums.

    What better way to learn than to question? I put in everything that was listed in the forum export and got vastly different numbers on HP, AC, and stats.

    Hey Strimtom, am I correct in assuming you played this build prior to the THF changes? How do you think the damage changes will affect this particular build?
