Fey Pally

[nezran]

<DIV>Ok, I created a Fey Pally without seeing fey stats. When I saw a 10 for STR and STA, I cringed. My question is this: Is this class just nuts/suicide for a fey or should I stick with it and look for STR modifying gear? Thanks!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Zentr</DIV>

The starting stats of the various races will only make much of a difference very early on.  By level 70, when you have 400 in str and sta, that 10 point deficit (compared with a human, the status quo) is mostly meaningless.  Paladins also make good use of pretty much every stat in one way or another, so you are getting some benefit from the stats which are higher for the fae.  The only real reason I'd advise against the fae is that I don't think a little floaty person should be nearly as strong or durable as somone of larger stature.  I mean which scares YOU more, a squirrel or a grizzly bear?  Sadly in EQ2 size really doesn't make a lick of difference.  If you like the fae stick with it.  <div></div>

Thanks for your response EvilLguana966. I play too casually to hit 70 (at least not for a long while), hopefully I can improve my weaker stats soon though.<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE> <HR> EvilIguana966 wrote:<BR><BR>The only real reason I'd advise against the fae is that I don't think a little floaty person should be nearly as strong or durable as somone of larger stature.  I mean which scares YOU more, a squirrel or a grizzly bear?  Sadly in EQ2 size really doesn't make a lick of difference.  If you like the fae stick with it.  <BR> <BR> <HR> </BLOCKQUOTE> <P>I see what you mean about size differences, and I agree to some extent. I mean, it's hard to argue with the squirrel and grizzly bear example. But I remember in EQLive getting killed so fast in Lesser Faydark that I didn't know what killed me. Turns out it was a wee little brownie.</P> <P>Zentr</P> <P> </P>

<DIV>What's really great is when the barbarians, ogres and trolls are all trying to hide behind the Fay tank.</DIV>

<DIV>My wife is playing one. Then again she could careless about 10 point difference. Think people pick at stuff a bit much. Including myself <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

A Fae as a tank must be the most extreme annoyance for any mob. So the threatgeneration would be a walk in the part... Think mosquitos and you see what I mean. You don't see them but they still bite you and drive you crazy in the process. //Sinmar

Here I was thinking a Fae Paladin would be unqiue, I also made one shes cute to, my main being a hafling Monk, and 98% of the time I seem to be the only hafling monk on my server. <div></div>
