I'm looking for information on the preferred weapon speed for a Paladin. 1 Hander vs 2 Hander, Slow vs Fast, and the pro's and cons of each.

Any information or links would be much appreciated.

I've searched the forums for weapon speed and haven't found anything difinative.

Information I have found suggests that the majority of pally damage is based on proc's and your swing timer resets when you use skills. If this is false please someone set me straight.

What i've gathered from this as well as my own experience is that faster weapons seem to do better for me because i'm more likely to get an auto attack between skill refresh's.

Do we have any skills that are based on weapon damage?

Again, any information is appreciated. I'm new to EQ2.

Thanks.

You want longer delayed weapons with higher spreads. Ideally you want to get your Mythical once you are level capped cause its the best possible weapon out there. Its a 6 second delay with a high spread and if you put AA points into Knight's Stance it will hit harder than 2 Handers anyway, and still allow you to use a shield.

Our damage from procs isn't close to what it used to be since proc mechanics were changed and no longer crit based on spell crit.

Your swing timer doesn't reset when you use a ca or spell it just delays it. You can use the auto attack timer bar to play around and get a feel for how this works.

You will be able to get like 2 cas or 1 spell inbetween your autoattacks in general, of course Haste will modify this accordingly.

Good luck sir........
