How many do you need on a full BAB class?  Are you a finesse halfling pally or just a whiner?


Neither. My Paladin is fine, thanks for your concern Smiley

So, let me get this straight Xeno.  Paladins have a hard time hitting stuff.  Even though they have a full BAB, diving might, divine favor, and str at creation is typically one maybe two points lower then other melees.  I don't know what kind of paladins you run with, but I bet involves like 3 sorc levels for sp and 5 wizard for haste.

If a pally has to-hit issues, the creators of DDO have this wonderful option at character select screen.  A button you can click that says "delete".  Try it sometime.  Does wonders.

Divine Might doesn't boost to-hit, iirc. All I was saying was that if it was a first life build without immediate access to twink raid gear/crafting, it might have issues against high AC targets like eMalicia/eVoN djinn, since twitching drops your average attack roll by 7-8 points. Less of a problem on fighters or barbs, since they get class abilities for ~5ish higher attack than paladins.

I think there's a quote somewhere around here about rage deletes.

I forgot divine strength was a gimp form of the fighter str boost.

Either way, thanks for ignoring the point.

The point is, Paladins do have to hit issues compared to a Kensai or Barbarian. The less self healing you have the better you can get the to hit - but then why build a Pally. Barb or Fighter with SF pots. Of course, any excuse to rip on someone is ok around here.

Divine Might doesn't add to to-hit. Divine Favour is +3/+3.

Sure, if you go max str, abishai set and rock a 46 or 48 str and an Esos, the to hit is pretty good and even great if you use Ravens Sight set and +4 attack bonus somewhere. I've always used Destruction on DT too in Epics.

The average Pally without an esos and twitching is going to have to hit issues though.

I hope you never give build advice.  It is people like you that promote bad builds and cause me to rage in quests.  Do you play a bard in DRB on khyber?

Great reply with an insult rather than proving me wrong. I regret letting Gawna give you channel info.

Funny, because I am still waiting for you to prove me wrong on how a THF paladin has a hard time hitting mobs. 

So you get your ass reamed and now you cry like a bitch.  I can leave your channel if it will make your swollen asshole feel a little better.  I could care less.  I really only use it to troll blank_blaster from time to time anyways.

Just to be clear!

My pally doesn't have an sos much less an esos.  Any epic pieces on him whatsoever actually.  I can hit everything in Echrono and Evon, and EDQ.  Fuck, I will even throw in EITD for shits and giggles.  So, while your continue crying like a bitch, how about you prove me wrong and stop talking like you play a dex build pally.  Thanks!

You should blame your parents.

Or maybe you could give me a breakdown of your to hit that has no issues in Epic with PA on and no Bard. I could easily list a breakdown that leaves out some of the harder to acquire gear but then we would be arguing what is an average geared Paladin.

I don't even know if you have stacked the deck with KotC and Horc either...since you only mentioned raids with Evil Outsiders and a Dragon that is not hard to hit and 95% of the time is with bard songs anyway.

Well now you are just asking me to be helpful.  I will be logging in in a few hours.

Of course I stacked the deck.  I run around with fricking cloudburst unsupressed.  Like I am going to hit up an ELOB.

OMG it totally wasn't me!  Cry

But I do lubs me some Epoch.  Anyone who tells a DRB bard, "I know you're used to being fucking useless, but could you try to be less fucking useless JUST THIS ONE TIME?!" is ok in my book.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that part.  It wasn't gawna that gave me the channel info. 

Anyways, back to the pally thing...


My pally has a 37 to-hit before any buffs and with power attack on.  This is a h-orc so maxed power attack. 

37 base
04 gh
03 DP
03 TG
01 rage

That is 48 without even trying.  If I get some decent gear on him, a couple tod rings, even some shroud items, he will be rocking just fine.

both full bab, check
both got same items / raid buffs, check

now that we've ruled that out.

a to hit focused kensai probably has.

superior weapon focus +3
kensai weapon mastery enhancement +2
power surge +4 (for ~8-10mins)


Gotta go with epoch on this, a total difference of +9 then +5 seems like fuck all once you get lots of gear. for the building up period to hit requirements really aren't that bad either.

That is 48 without even trying.  If I get some decent gear on him, a couple tod rings, even some shroud items, he will be rocking just fine.


From what I can see on myddo:

20 base
11 str (assume 13 with yugo and ship)
2 sora kel
4 gh
3 DF
1 rage
1 haste
+5 weapon
-8 PA
+2 Ship
= +43
+5 Tharnes (not sure what TG is at +3)
= +48 without agro.

I can't workout the breakdown for +37 to hit on login.
20 bab
+5 weapon
-8 PA
+2 Kora Sel
+2 Full plate of the defender
+11 Str
= +32

What am I missing?

Decent but a Horc KotC fighting Evil Outsiders is the best case scenario. My Human TWF Pally never had issues in ToD, Echrono. Swapping to DoS and losing about 5 or 6 to hit makes a massive difference.

Maybe I suck or my idea of an average Paladin is not a Horc KotC in EO content. Some people only play their Pallies in such content, so maybe it is average.

Anyway I said the average Pally has to hit issues and more so with twitching. Do you really think your Paladin is the average? I don't see many Horc Pallies around.

+9 to hit is massive. It is more like +11 once you add in the fighter Str enhancements.

any fighter that invests in all 3 tiers of fighter str has wasted ap.

given how stupidly high our to hits get vs mob ac now.  and the new changes to destruction / improved destruction.  11 to hit is nothing, esp since the highest ac mobs are the highest fort mobs and they should be debuffed accordingly.

This conversation bores me, a geared out paladin with esos isn't missing shit in endgame. 

I know i have one.
