Paladin Melee/Healer setup...reposted as noone on paladin forum has opinion.

[Wildfury77]

Thinking about making an alt on Nagafen. Wanted to try something different with the AAs Anyone got any comments on this<i><b> AA setup for PvP</b></i>: <b>KoS</b> Strength Line: 4/6/8/4/1. With nice fabled axe. <b>EoF</b> 20 points in healing + Arch Heal Then go down Hero line. On my Monk i've managed to get 50 AA by lvl 27 by doing EVERY tier 2/3 quest and killing every named (165 nameds so far). I'm Now leveling up to 70. So should be able to get the strength + healing lines maxed by about lvl 25 paladin. Not sure of this setup....the increased damage and heals, along with plate armor would be nice for PvP??

correct me if I'm wrong- but for pvping I've been told that paladins are right down the bottom of the lower tiers with coercers.. the difference being that coercers get better in t3 and come into their own at t4..

I'm only in T4 atm, but consider the stamina line for hammer ground.    Having 4 aoes is fantastic for group pvp.    Unfortunately, solo is brutal (the only fights you get are picked for you, and you can't stop anyone if you start to win).  I 2 box a warden and group with a dirge quite often which is the only reason  I get any fame at all.

If you are just making the pally for PVP only then STA/INT line is one of the spec you can go with. Just play around with the AA and pick whats right for you since every pally play style is different. The class is fun if you like the challenge.
