Dear players,

The D&D rules you were familiar with were too simple to understand, so we're continuing our move away from them to needlessly confusing subsystems that will make your play experience less fun and invalidate old builds and loot. We hope you have fun working out what the fuck MRR, PRR, MP, SP, RP, CL, MCL and all the other bullshit we made up whilst drunk means.

Love,

People who don't know how to fix their own mistakes cleanly

Good way to run Paladin these days....
20 levels Paladin.  Add 80 AP.

Honestly you can't really screw them up as long as you have more intelligence than a worm.

If you aren't an expert yourself or just lazy those are fine to start with. EllisDee37, unbongwah and some of the other buildes aren't that bad as most of the mobo folks.

I can't believe you're still playing.
  

So you want to know about an exploit?

Thank you for your cherished advice.  I will take it into as much consideration as deciding whether to read ESPN or SI while I take a shit.

Yeah, that's about spot on.  I always viewed it as little kid sports and sports for adults.  ESPN yells at me.  SI has a quiet conversation with me.

Pallys are a lot of fun.  Virtually un-killable in anything less than LE raids if done right.  And DPS is above average to great, depending on your build and gear.   

I like the 20 human (or PDK) pally that goes heavy on Sacred Defender, including the capstone.  Some AP in KoTC and Human/PDK.  Not much for the vanguard stuff.  Strength based, TWF.  Strength max, balance Con and Charisma. (18,8,16,8,8,16 on a 36 point build human).  Level Ups in STR.  PA, Cleave, TWF x 3, IC Slash, Khopesh, Completionist, Overwhelming Crit, Stunning Blow, Perfect TWF, Dire Charge, Scion of Aborea, pick whatever you want at 27,28 (First Blood or Holy Strikes or Tactician) ,30.  Some free feats in there to add your own style to the build.

Run it in LD, DC, or US, depending on the situation.  Twists are generally Symmetric Strikes, Grim Precision, Balanced Attacks, Sense Weakness, Cocoon, Lay Waste, depending on what destiny you are in and what you are doing.

Really fun.  Can solo EE easily.

Twf I agree, but there is a problem with your setup I believe. 

Twf needs 15 dex for base feat and increases afterwards to 17.  Gotta reallocate your points. 

Go khopeshes IMO like ash said, or blade forged go thf GS.

Running a bladeforged GS thf at the moment. Plows through pretty much everything, and outlasts almost everything else. Solid choice, especially if you have a SoS/ESoS.

Just came back while i wait in the cold for my permits to come through! With you gone, there is no good build advice on the vault =/. I was loling that of all the people to not be allowed on DDO it is you.

When someone asks about builds on the Vault, what they really want to know is what is broken and how they can take advantage of it.

Good catch on the twf.  I think I threw 4 points in Dex and started with a 14 Charisma.  Can get away with 2, but that sucks for leveling, imo.

Go Human over PDK unless going for a PL, Human deity choices are way better.
