Soloing from 70 to 80 - Page 2

Zeritel · 05-15-2009, 06:18 AM

So I swapped around my AA's. The hero line is frekin boss - helps so much! I've also since got enough aa's to max the spell crit. Been picking up mostly int gear from all the kunark quests also. Now I usually end up going through around 35-45% power, and only need to toss down a single ward per fight - since I just nuke the shit out of everything.

This doesn't seem like it's gonna be all that bad leveling now. Thanks for the advice guys!

I have a 77 Pally right now, and I found that there are two ways to play, if you have less than 120 AA:

Spec 1:
STR 4,7,8,4,2
AGI 4,5,8
INT 4,8,8,6,2
...this will give you max dbl attack, spell crit, AoE auto attack (which rules), heal crit, spell cast/reuse boost, and three 1000+ pt attacks. Until you get a good weapon and/or your epic, screw melee crit for now. You can kill faster with spells than melee at this point. Swift attack + an agility ring will always get your haste up to 52 for every fight, so don't waste money on haste items right now.

Plus for this, get a good shield, and go down the Blocking mastery line to help take hits, so you can stay in offensive stance. With that and reflect, you should just have to pre-ward, and nothing else for the rest of the fight, unless you pull multiples.

Fill out + to HP and +to PP from shadow, + to mit and +crit to your heal strike with the rest. DOn't worry about Smite Evil, Arch heal, Cure, or stance boosts for now (unless you group).

Spec 2:

Just change out AGI with STA, although I don't think this is better than the first spec.

Darn, my pallie happens to be on Nektulos server. A friend told me to roll on AB and that he'd help level me up - never really did though. So I'm back on my Nek toons now. I should totally go change my server.

This is an issue at level 18 this is an issue at level 80.

... but that has pretty much already been said, int 448; sta 448; str line, wraths hero is pretty much the core to any paladin build - Get a good solid sword and shield and start hacking.

Its gonna be a slow ride... so you might as well enjoy it - put your feet up, good TV show on the box and just let autoattack do the work. Sure you could kill mobs quicker but you also spend more time waiting for power to regen.

I did exagerate when I said I did it ALL on autoattack, it was toggle autoattack, throw in a stun occasionally... maybe a ward, LoH (before the power useage was added :/) and move onto the next mob; I didn't need to take a break for power it was just kill move kill move kill move get new quest [repeat]. Whilst everyone else was busting their ass to get to 80 as soon as possible I ended up watching 4 series of TNG, drinking beer and generally relaxing :P

If you really want to race to 80 it woudl be quicker bretraying to SK and then betraying back tbh :P

Pally soloing 70-80 Its gonna be slow... enjoy it

And you know I wouldnt really mind the slow trip to 80 if there were any groups in that level range looking for a tank. Seems that most other classes dont have the slow ride from 70 -80 that paladins do.
Still not going to betray to SK just on principle though. Slow and steady, 80 here I come.

do you have friends or so? I lvl my pal with a swashi and it's a lot faster and funnier...

I was in a guild of really nice folks on Unrest. But then I took a break and when I cam back after almost a year the guild was very different.
Now I have my other toons (mystic and ranger) in a raiding guild.
Paladin is still fun to play, just not looking to hit 80 anytime soon.
