Ding 40! -- What You Need and Dream About

[SanJ]

<DIV>Started on 18 Apr 2005:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I have received a great number of questions in-game (guild chat, ooc, shouts, private tells, paladin channel, forum posts, etc.) regarding equipment in tier 5.  I am not the greatest author of articles, but I sure do like to strive for the best gear and equipment as do many others.  Likewise, a guide covering the bare bone essentials through uber dream equipment would be very nice for reference.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I have decided to undertake a new thread/guide entitled "Ding 40! -- What You Need and Dream About"</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'm hoping the Paladin community will work together to contribute many suggestions to build a decent guide for so many players already in and rapidly approaching tier 5 combat.  I'm sure the threads will grow quite quickly, so I'm planning on breaking the guide into the three basic inventory sections:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Left Side Inventory (Armor)</DIV> <DIV>Right Side Inventory (Jewelry)</DIV> <DIV>Bottom Row Inventory (Equip Slots, Items, Weapons, Shields)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Using three sections should be adequate for keeping the information organized well.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'll try to list some basic information today and hopefull together we can expand the data into a more comprehensive guide.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'm counting on you guys to help with contributions like you did so well on the Kite Shield Data thread on this same forum.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks,</DIV> <DIV>Kalen</DIV><p>Message Edited by SanJun on <span class=date_text>04-18-2005</span> <span class=time_text>10:54 AM</span>

<DIV><FONT size=5>Left Side Inventory (Armor)</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Level 40 Paladins should strive minimally for a complete suit of Pristine Forged Fulginate Vanguard.  This is player crafted equipment available from an Armorsmith.  Pricing will range from a few gold per item to several gold.  One of the cheapest ways to obtain a complete set is to commission an Armorsmith to build a full suit for a discounted price.  Obviously, having a guild Armorsmith is advantageous.  If you do not have this luxury, try the /lfw (looking for work) option or broadcast periodic messages on the crafting channel. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#66ff00>Head Slot</FONT></DIV> <DIV>basic </DIV> <DIV>40 -

What I dream about... well... pristine imbused Ebon Vanguard hs crossed my mind several times... although if I'm a realist I know what I'll be getting - Fulimugate armour and passing my Tier 5 rares onto my guildies who need them more. Our Guardians / other healers / DPS dealers. Although I will keep a few rubies to myself for the Buffs / heals I use in Off-tanking. At the end of the day I dream of having a set of gorgeous Imbuded Ebon Vanguard... but also at the end of the day I know our guild guardian will have a much greater need of it than I. We are Paladins - we have to sacrfice what matters to us most fot eh benifit of others. Gah sometimes our role sucks! <div></div>

Not saying I aim for the top notch armour available just I am a realist and I know that whle I'll improve my armour slightly with a single piece of rare amrour giving this rare to our guild main tank  will allow him to have multiple piece of rare armour. and in the end there is nothing wrong with Fulmugate amrour. So while I dream of the Pritine imbused Ebon stuff, I know I'll be on the fulmugate for a long long while. <div></div>

Unless we suddenly get a buff that doubles our health I seriously doubt if we can get higher than 5k health.. and that is being optimistic.

<DIV>As for not breaking 5000 hp....if i don't when im 50 i will be amazed.  I'm at 4366 at level 42 and I still have some more ebon to buy, right now I'm wearing good but not rare jewelry, pristine forged ebon chest and legs, 4 pieces of feysteel and Journeymans boots.  Using Shiny brass shield and a Pristine imbued ebon hammer.  Between my rings and buffs I get HP up to 4366.  My HP, Power, and Defense are all considerably better than most, due to gear.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Resolving to healing and buffing a guardian all the time....bleh...</DIV>

<P>hey kalen as i mentioned in group the other night the post in the guardian forum labeled "<A href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=3&message.id=7272" target=_blank><FONT color=#dda600>Level 40-50 Guardians, post your gear!</FONT></A>"  is a great reference on alot of the high end gear.  much of the fabled stuff i can only dream about <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  I love your format though as it allows me to see at a glance what items i can get.  It also mentions on many of the items where to get them. </P> <P> </P> <P><A href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=3&message.id=7272" target=_blank>http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=3&message.id=7272</A></P>

from lvl 40-45 gear i have found that the best is the orclord gear, but is very rare as only quests inside DFC give it out.  I am wearing full orclord gear except ebon chest and i am finding i have way more AC/health than other pallys that are 2-4 lvl's above me
