FOH pally pvp skill help

[Tiidus]

Hi,

Ive just made a FOH pally for pure pvp, cause most pvp dmg is elemental ive gone for pure vit and not added any dex. But im stuck now on what skills to get. ive maxed convic, holy shock and foh but what else should i get? I dont really want holy sheild as its worthless without any dex.

Any idea's ppl?

What about Resist Lightning? So you can increase your maximum Light resist and yet have a full holy shock aura, to annoy people and kill minions. Depending on your wealth, yo could use HoJ/Dragon and max Holy Fire for alternate elemental damage. Really, without Holy Shield there aren't much options left...

well i already have max res, so i dont really need that. im concidering putting points in to fant and using charge as an alternative for when ppl have abosrb gear on.

Anyone tried this?

[brokensvt]

FOH/Charge/Smite = V/T, so yes it's been tried methinks :)

At any rate, I'm going out on a limb and saying that without block you're going to not like PvP so much. I personally would rebuild to at least work in max block.

[Tiidus]

why's that? the only characters you need block against is bow zons and barbs, n for barbs u just dodge. everything else is either magic dmg or elemental.

[Noite Escura]

Dodging a barb who can teleport is not an easy task methinks, the same goes for wwsins or even kickers. Chargers may also eat you alive.

Yep, seriously, not maxing HS is rediculous when you have the spare points-

[inanefedaykin]

Go out and try it. Chargers, bowazons, barbs and pretty well anyone that has a blockable attack is going to absolutely eat you because they're used to dealing with people that are immune to 75% of their attacks.

Almost all paladins except maybe 2h chargers will get max block. It's a stupid idea not to especially when the entire class is centered around it.

[DaemonAkuma]

Pally = max block. No reason not to with the godly skill Holy Shield, especially in a foher who really only needs 60 pts (considering you max convic).

Trust me, my friend...you want block. A tele+WW barb will eat you...a charger will eat you...a ww sin will eat you. If they can't teleport you may be alright, but otherwise you're a sitting duck (esp w/o DR gear). Sadly, w/o block against melee you're a glass cannon...big boom, but very brittle.

[NewForumBloke]

A Pally w/o block, is a dead one. I dont think i know of one pala (other than pure 2 h chargers) that dont have max block, ESPECIALLY FOR PVP! Like its already been said, any char with decent res or even stacked res and uses a physical attack will make mince meat outta ya.

yep my mule hammerdin gets plenty of kills versus ele chars or necs. but when i duel something that i have to remotely block, i die in like 4 hits.

it doesnt help that i dont really have any charms on him, but you get the point :P
