Paladin 2hand or 1h with shield?

[janton1015]

Outstanding. I'm wondering if I should have gotten a better 1 hand slash or blunt instead and used a shield..

Thanks tho!

I like having the option to switch between 1h/shield and 2h personally, and you've got the 2H covered.

My personal vote for affordable starting Sword n Shield is:

https://wiki.project1999.com/Green_Jade_Broadsword - about 100pp
and
https://wiki.project1999.com/Cracked_Darkwood_Shield - about 75pp

You can snag those for cheap and they'll last you a good while!

I actually have the Green Jade Broadsword (on my ranger - need to transfer) and that shield. I guess I should switch out and work the skills up for both.

I am practicing using Flash of Light to keep agro. My last group I had a hard time pulling off the enchanter but it was after she casted something on them so I'm guessing whatever it was, it created huge agro on her.

Thanks all!

Any time an enchanter gets aggro I like to throw a stun before moving to the mob and then casting the FoL. The FoL is probably plenty of aggro, but the stun will stop the mob in its tracks rather than the risk that it might be out of range from you and either flee or continue to target the Enchanter. Runes can be expensive in both plat and mana, and while those resources aren't really an issue for an Enchanter, it's always nice to not have to cast too many extra.

In your case, sounds like she slowed the mob.

Side note: you should be trying to cast a stun on any charm break as well, but do not FoL these, as they will likely be out of range from you and attempt to flee. keep your eyes open and your tab target ready.

edit: cracked darkwood is great but for a paladin I recommend a Charred Guardian Shield http://wiki.project1999.com/Charred_Guardian_Shield or Crystal Chitin Shield. http://wiki.project1999.com/Crystal_Chitin_Shield (should be similar price)

I don't always look for epic tips and information about pallies on the forums, but when I do I read Dr. Jeff's posts first.

Thanks for the tips Dr. Jeff, you always give great input and advice!
