Paladin Questions

Hello fellow twinks :)
I have some questions concerning level 1 paladin, as I made one today but dont know what to get:

Polished Breastplate of Valor This or Burnished Breastplate of Might ? 1 stamina and 1 dodge for 1 crit? I am not sure. Should I even try mail agi chest for 2 stamina and 1 crit, but will lose 1 str and some armor?

Does Shield with Lesser Parry parry bonus stack with Adamantite Weapon Chain ? Does the chain even work?

What enchant is better, +8agi +8dodge or 70 armor? Or maybe something else even?

Is crusader on mainhand better than +15str?

If I solo mobs, should I use Unholy or Crusader?

All of those I consider I will use mostly in PvE soloing, so I will need to be quite tanky (high pally armor is nice here, but will prob need to stack parry)
If I will go for any raid as DPS, I will get offset.

Thank in advance! (I have almost BiS rogue (damn squealer!) so you dont need to talk to me like I am a noob. Im just new to Paladin level 1.

i hear crusdader in PVP is NOT good. I wouldnt see it as being much better in pve either, with level diff and hardly hitting

Reccomend Firey, its what i use and procs alot is helpful, but i hear Life steal is great as well tbh i think you should look away from crusdar.
And L/S is what you should use for soloing mobs.

As far as the chest stats, i think it will depend on your play style, the dmg or health which is more an issue for you, you may want the extra 10 if you dont have AGM yet.


Sheild wise,

''does not stack with similar effects''

10 stam 10 spirit is your best shot, some sheild spikes worked last i checked though our bis is BOP :(
The armor difference is like 200+
weapen reguardless dosnt stack, i doubt it, the chain causes the iteam to become soulbound, On a BOA i doubt blizz let that slide :(
Again it can really come down to preferance what you will be rolling with and the level of mobs you are trying for.

On my pally (level 1 BE) when i logged on for the first time in a while, during a duel with a level 10 (which i won) i noticed reguardless of my +10 spirit, my mana had a mind of its own, and it was getting low at points. I would see how your mana plays if you even need the spirit.

+8 +8 is better IMO



Once more Crusader can be unreliable at points.


>My xp
level1 pally since end of BC
tanked for my own level 1 guild


I am still unsure alot of it is play style preferance if you will have bandaids if you can make that escape to use them etc to make up for those stats being traded
can you afford to move them etc
 
I'd stick with the plate chests. Valor for DPS, Might for Survivability ... at some point at lvl 1, the armor becomes = the stamina I think

The "does not stack" refers to the disarm duration reduction. You'll still get the bonus parry...assuming it works. I know Pyrium Weapon Chain does, so it's possible I guess that this one would. Regardless, I think that the 10 sta/10 spi enchant is probably your best bet...although I've never run the numbers for parry at lvl1, it seems like it's a little 'clunky' of a mechanic for us...especially against higher levels who's expertise is going to get past our parry every time

Lifestealing if you're solo'ing since it will heal you regularly.

I think the cloak is a toss up for Pallies since you don't benefit at all from Agility like a warrior would. A warrior definitely +8/+8 ... a Pally probably situational

Lifestealing has been nerfed, so I guess it depends on which boss you're soloing. I've always used Unholy Weapon for that, but I'm not sure if they have the same PPMs. Chubs?
 
when was Lifestealing nerfed and what is the nerf? I just tested and it's still +30 / -30

I know the revamp to Scholo means you can only get it out of lockboxes/chests now, but I don't recall reading about a nerf in patch notes.
 
Here's a screenshot that I just took. It doesn't seem to be nerfed...or possibly the nerf in 4.3 was a bug?

Edit: 30 on training dummies, but 12heal, 18damage on players.

AH...pvp nerf...yes I do remember that

although, it is still your only heal outside of Lifeblood/Bandage/Pot, but 12hp is hardly enough to want to use it outside of situational pvp
