It's still a 1 AC bracer on a tank class. It sucks.

Tell me more how you will ever notice a loss of 4 ac.

High elf. Max wisdom.


Or human. Max dex.

Furthermore they mentioned pvp server, where iirc dex/agi seems to be more helpful?

I'd rather have the CHA for more dangerous lulls like HS, seb, velks, etc. I went wis on my pally and found basically zero use for it. if I need to get off one extra hot with that extra wis then I prob lost the fight anyway. But ymmv.

Crawling HS as the puller I guess would be dodgy with low CHA and no CC. That said, eventually a crit fail will happen. Murphy’s Law and all that.

I don’t go full out with my CHA set. Earrings, bracers, neck (I use a +6). Ennewi mentioned a ToFS stein for 10 more and I don’t use a loddy shield. There are plenty of ways to get that stay very high no matter what race you pick.

If you have a specific need sure, do whatever you want. I just think nudging new players down this road isn’t necessarily. I sure never needed 200+ CHA and found the road to 60 remarkably easy.

Dwarf Paladin of Brell whose god personally appeared to him in a vision and told him that alcohol must be abandoned, like that one guy in Thurgadin, except with a flaming sword.

Also barrel roll.

agi and dex is supposedly impactful when calculating melee damage.

You shouldn't be crawling anywhere that is remotely dangerous solo. Take someone with you. They will appreciate your extra wisdom.

The upside of dex is every class has a nice proc weapon and 20 extra dex can make a significant difference on those dice.

I used to be a huge advocate for cha. Really 120 is sufficient and you'll accidentally get that. And if you get a crit resist your going to gate pot or root camp anyway. Or just rez urself.

Most pulls in the game can be accomplished with root and a body to dish out enough dps so all you have to do is root and spot heal. Big charisma is nice. It's a bonus. At 200 you'll get lucky much more with crit fails. It's not game changing tho.
