What do i do with extra skill points and if you have any gear suggestions or think i should switch one gear with another please say.

[Bjam]

I see one major problem. It doesn't look like you have enough IAS. You can correct the issue with prudent socketing of your gear, but that is definitely something you need to be mindful of. You should definitely try to replace the Manald with a LL/ML rare ring. Other than that your gear looks pretty good. I have certain things I'd change, but it comes down to preference.

[marveloussorceress]

botd gives me 60%ias and laying of hands give me 20%ias which makes it 80%ias. Isnt that enough especially since i put the botd in a bereserker axe?

[Nimbostratus]

The extra points should probably go into the resist auras to boost your vengeance damage or in holy shield if you think you need more defense.


As for IAS, a paladin with BOTD berserker axe using vengeance...
The IAS on BOTD gets him to 10 frames per attack. (2.5 attacks per second)
26% more (86% total) for 9 FPA. (2.77 attacks/sec)
92% more (152% total) for 8 FPA. (3.12 attacks/sec)

Though if you're fine with the speed you have now, you don't really need to go faster in PVM.

[Bjam]

Speed = Damage.

Use Treachery if you plan on going for an 8FPA speed, otherwise stick with GA or Fortitude and shoot for 9FPA.

With your current setup, just one IAS jewel will get you to 9FPA, effectively boosting your damage by 11%.

Do not underestimate the benefit of extra attack speed. 8FPA = 25% damage increase from where you are now.

[ProfessionalBerg]

Stick a 15% IAS jewel in CoA (they are pretty cheap if plain), and you are off hitting the 86% BP (9 fpa).

[Norrit]

go for war travs boots. Aim for low mf if cost is an issue (this will make it cheap - pgems cheap depending on how low). The important thing is the added dmg (which is enhanced by vengeance), and since your treks are low anyway, you'll just lose 3 str points and add a lot of damage in turn.

[marveloussorceress]

would an ebotd in a eth collosus sword be the same as the ebotd in the berserker axe? same everything including attack speed?

[ProfessionalBerg]

Colossus Swords are 2-handed, so different IAS tables apply to them. Besides, you lose a shield this way.
