You can get the Diplomat title as u just gostwalk after the one who kills the mobs tobad its really hard to get exalted due to the low rep it gives
 
30 spell power instead of 29. And I like eagle mail gear for the idea, and your concept should work well... it does on my pally.

What does this have to do with anything?
 
the concept of "shockadin" is dead at 19. In 3.02 this might have been possible due to SoR/JoR/JoL/Ret Aura scaling so well, but these days both these abilities have been nerfed into the ground, and so has the spellthreads and librams, making it not viable anymore.

he asked for an title so i said the only viable whit minimum xp
 
Thanks alot all of you for your comments, I was thinking the dpilomat but thats a chunk of work id have to do, It's a shame i didnt get the noble, il try and wiat for another title like that.



There is only one 30sp enchanter on our server and i dont know there name :D. Once ived found it out, il get it.



Also i've been playing this for about 3k kills now which isnt alot but its enough to know that i think this IS viable, im not hitting major damage but i do my fair share, the main point of shocka is for arena really, it gives me a edge because im so versitle and can heal/dps/support and i really like that, im hitting more damage than alot of twink rouges at wsg and scaling isnt terrible, im getting 175 off crits of judgment but i do admit now 3.1 they are hitting less. Im going to carry on with this 'Project' :D, for the moment and il repost up how im doing.



Thanks alot for all of your input. Please keep it coming.
 
If you really want to be a DPS pally go with a full set of haste gear, crit rating and get night reaver with firey
 
Hmm i made a crit set with smites mighty hammer +25 agi and went full agi/str gear i got to about 18% crit but its not really as versitle as a shocka pala, we can do so much. Im really thinking i might use minor speed, i have 2 sets of spidersilk boots on with 7stam and one with minor speed but im always using the 7stam and starting to see the disadvantages.
 
An offensive paladin if played right can be very effective with Blessing of Freedom, Hammer of Justice, and keeping up with the FC.
 
Shockadin doesnt work as well as it did. If you really want to DPS gear for strength, agility and stam.



Stacking sp isnt worth it unless you find yourself healing A LOT. Most of your damage is from melee swings and stacking str/ap will increase both the damage from that and your judgement damage at the same time. This doesnt mean dont have a spellpower set or at least some spellpower gear, because you should). Besides which if you just spec into prot (which if you want to be dpsing you should) you can just pick up divinity and drop all that spellpower anyway.



I would recommend either;

5/5 Divine Strength 3/3 Stoicism 2/2 Guardian's Favor - for flexible dps/support.

5/5 Divinity 2/2 Guardian's Favor and either; 3/3 Stoicism, 3/5 Spiritual Focus or 3/5 Divine Strength depending which you value more.



Your gear choice isnt bad, but I would recommend either rough bronze shoulders or a pair of BoA's over the cloth woolen ones. You can get beetle clasps for a bit of crit if your ally. And silver-linked boots would be my choice over the spidersilk ones. You can also drop blindwatcher belt for deviate belt to pick up a bit more hit.



Speaking of hit, it is possible to hit cap pretty easily (and I would advise it if you plan on doing DPS, missing a stun can be deadly, and missing a judgement can really gimp your damage output) by taking the spidersilk cape, deviate belt and leather badge BoA's (thats 11 hit a 5.2% hit chance against level 19's).



Get multiple weapons and gear sets (might be obvious to you). For arena you can start with a 22 int weapon then switch to something else (cram some more heals in that way) regardless of your overall role.
 
Thanks for this i have the gear sets to make this more melee based but i just think Spelladin's are so cool xD, i will defiantly try out what you said, also i heal ALOT with my guildes and i love to dps as ive been on healing twinks for other a year now. so what i like about this spec is i can quickly hit in a hammer of justice and get off a 350 heal in 1v1s and it is overall very versitle so i could dps then heal if needed for a teammate then get straight back into dps like i stated earlier but i see your point and i can defiantly agree that spelladins arent as good as they used to be.



Also BoA's are out of the question for me, i heal alot so what do you think is the best option for me when choosing spec and gear, thanks alot for that info by the way it has helped me alot.



Also what do you think is now the best way to go for a arena 19 pally, i guess not shocka anymore, back to healadin?

Stay the course... don't let others convince you being a shockadin is the wrong thing to do. Shockadins in arena are very versatile as they can both heal and provide a fairly decent amount of burst needed to drop a given opponent. Most people downplay shockadin because they want to go with the cookie cutter spec. Cookie cutter specs are ranked higher because everyone plays them, leaving out the possibility to allow a different spec to excel. I've watched shockadin arena vids, just make it happen man, you'd be far beyond others in playstyle skill if you did IMO. There are few that walk the path of shockadin, you have my respect.
 
Haha, thanks man this has actully given me a vote of confidence il still probably try the other specs to see the diffrence but i do love this shockadin spec.



Thanks.
 
Also, if you ever find yourself with a healer following you around, it might be worth it to get a Smite's Mighty Hammer with +30 SP for maximum judgment damage. And if there's ever a point where you wanna do nothing but DPS (doubt it though), you could spec into 5/5 seals of the prue and 5/5 divine str.
 
Thanks, i have tryed that last spec for damage and it was k, but didnt really like it because when i managed to heal they were coming up short and i found it hard to stack sp when stacking so much ap, but i like the smites mighty hammer idea, i might try that out.



Thanks

Depending how much AP you already have smite's with +15 strength could provide bigger judgements than +30sp since it takes 10% of your ap AND 10% of your spellpower. For example 10% of 300ap is 30 extra judgement damage, whilst 10% of 200ap and 10% of 50sp is like 25 extra damage. Offensively, strength scales better than spellpower just purely because you can get more ap than you can sp.

Yeah that's the spec I run on my semi twink BE pally with agi/str/stam gear. It works pretty damn well, I don't hardly heal at all though so it lacks in that area. I was getting white crits of 210+ with Sin'dorei Warblade - Item - World of Warcraft and my gear is barely enchanted, no sader.
