Ok, so I am about to start T8 raiding again, as soon as I receive my new laptop. meanwhile I am tinkering on a tanking(MT/OT) Paladin.This is the way, my priorities are set:avoidance+block: atm I am @ 67.4% solo avoidance, without the shield adornment and having upgraded the lucanic gladius to lvl 70(2% avoid instead of 3%), so that leaves at least 0.8% to go...plus I wasn't able to get my hands on the woushi scale wrist item with 30 agi and 5 def and some other fluff(also lvl 70, so 3%parry), so theoretically it would be easy to get 70% solo avoidance.(most of it with %-items, so don't care bout dimnishing returns) oh, and round about 53% mitigationhp:imho my second weakest point:only 11.2k solo w/ food and drink. I am aiming towards 12k solo, but that would result in a massive loss of avoidance, even with t8 raid items. only thing I that comes to my mind, is upgrading the gladius(+~90hp) and the wuoshi band(+90hp). haven't seen any boots except the bloodied chitin ones from KC with agi and def on'em, but they're lacking hps.damage:my weak spot, I don't have any aggro-issues due to amends(only if some zerker means to go nuts) but I am srsly lacking Int. Most of my damage comes from CA and autoattack, due putting most points in Str/Sta/Agi/Wis/+MCrits. With nathsar short sword I am able to oudamage a lot of casters in grps, but on raids it'll be another thing. Maybe the soulfire gladius will improve this a lot(+~12 DR and the proc). In AA I went with hero/wrath/support, so Call to duty and so on proc a lot more. Any ideas on this, except going Int?AA-Crusader:Ok, this is wehre most Pally's won't understand me. Sta:4-4-8-6-1 The first two are just for the following points, 8 in melee crits is needed to build aggro, 6 in hp for my second weakest point, and 2 for DA for grping and raiding(never know when someone adds 10k mobs or the initial hit of the encounter is a nuclear missile) Wis:4-4-8-6-1 Same as above for the first 2, 8 for skills(otherwise I hit as often as a blind one on lsd) 6 in combat reg to fill up the points for fear immunity(heard a lot of t8 mobs fear, so running away won't be my concern) Agi:6-4-4-7 6 in +agility(gues where my avoidance comes from) 4 in Tjost for rooting mobs, 4 in aoe-attack(comes in handy for grps) and 7 in higher ground(<3 +def and immunity to knockbacks)I tried my best to compensate some things but maybe you're seeing something I don't see, I'd be grateful for any help.
