What is your current gear & build?::
What you plan to get (if you don't have it already): I still plan to get sunnies[1] w/Nightmare card and 3 OG which i'm currently working on getting right now. Another is Gym pass that way i could max out the stats to agi instead of putting some into strength. last would most likely be V.Shield.

Anything else you feel you need to share?: Nothing much but I do have 1 question. Do you prefer Drops for paladin or Cecil? because on my previous server they required me to use cecil card instead of drops. which I thought myself is better as well.

+1 to this. He knows his stuff plus an old school RO player is always welcome, no?

Thnx for the thumbs up.

Just a question: do you really require that 10 Str? You're from the Swordman class, plus you have Peco so your weight limit should be enough to carry whatever you need. You have a 0 weight armor, footgear, and garment too, so why don't you invest those points into Agi? If you really need the weight, store your +7 foods; that's 480 weight gone. When you need them, just hit @storage and get them; use Alt+m to make a shortcut for your storage. Just a suggestion though; I'm not sure if it makes a big difference.

Yes as a matter of fact i had that calculated and that 10 str adds up 110 weight but it helps my paladin not to be in a state o 90% OW. I keep all foods in my inventory at all times with a quantitiy of 3. Why? just incase I die and got recalled without buffs i won't have time to hit @storage and drag down foods secondly I could use them if in a middle of GvG my food expires. usually I don't really get OW at 90% but with Bradium shield @ 180 wt. compared to V.Shield that is 50 wt. only I could pretty much carry more pots and be still on 50% OW. I'm currently finding a way to get Gympass and when I get them i'll switch those stats on str into agi.

nice cavalry mastery (142 aspd LOL)

concerning my aspd as I have asked if should I use cecil instead of drops. I myself is bothered with my aspd. But if i was to put cavalry mastery I would have to take out providence which is i preferably think is a big help during woe since it reduces 25%[if maxed] damage from holy attacks. Give me suggestions if you guys want me to change build and I will do so.

cavalry mastery > providence (it's a HUGE chunk of ASPD, if your targets get holy resist and then still die to piles of meteors because you can't devo fast enough it won't really matter that they had some extra holy resist)

drops > cecil

@.@ Holy attacks? The only people capable of dishing out Holy attacks are probably Priests or Priest-buffed melee attackers. I doubt any Priest will bother to Holy Light you or use Magnus Exorcismus during WoE, and you rarely see people using Aspersio anymore in SE (unless it's for extra Sharp Shoot damage, etc; but still...>.<. Providence=out the window, if you'd please. =D

A Pally who dies in Meteor Storm is a joke. 1st place why would you die on a meteor storm if your a pally? unless you miss click and forgets to hide that maybe one reason. Concerning the aspd quad cecil could most likely balance the lost aspd in the cavalry mastery and concerning fast devo having 170 aspd is good enough for as long as you meet the 140 dex. Besides having bragi and sunset boosts devoing skill in either cast and delay. On the other hand Snipers with holy arrow having to FAS on the person upfront will certainly be drop dead with just split seconds unlike if they have providence and if they are fast enough could switch to hide and still be alive without potsing during the switch. Anyways I was just pointing out some facts that I know of that maybe could've help but still your decision will be followed. To be followed up screenshot will be posted with cavalry mastery.

I was talking about your targets when you get dispelled, not you. When you're using devotion at a slow speed due to having 142 ASPD you will not refresh it fast enough and your targets will die because devotion was dispelled for too long.

142 is not my default aspd well to be honest I would most likely rely on the clown to always have songs up. if clown dies aspd will still be useless though let's say I may devo twice as fast( which I don't think it is) with a high aspd but no bragi it'll be still useless when GvG. Cause a GvG without a clown is always a Fail unless the other guild had their clown killed as well.

New Skills Revised. Let me know if there are anything else I need to change.

With that sort of dex Cecil Damon cards are pointless because you just make it easier to get interrupted.
Use a Knife[4] for more Attack Speed in Slow Grace.
Dex +1 AoA is nice too.
Use Box of Glooms.

I don't think you need three of each stat food in your inventory, especially agi food.
Providence is cool but it goes off with dispel. You already have Defender against Snipers Sharpshoot.
I'm assuming you don't use Shrink and Auto-Berserk in WoE.

No I don't use shrink for woe that's just for BG. The Providence is not for me its for the people I am devoing. Surely I could tank Snipers with just proper swtiching. About the knife I already switched. I'm not quite sure yet but I'm still on the process of testing it out but I believe Slow grace gets relieved when using Authority badge. I'm not entirely sure yet since I haven't encountered any gypsy yet in BG but in my previous server very much like this one slow grace gets relieved by authority badge so i'm just gonna try it out if it doesn't it goes away.

The only reason I would see you using a club is because mace weapons don't break... but we have creators with FCP.

Like Nile said, with your dex, it's better to pull off drops cards over cecils. Until you get like a +3 dex headgear with +1 dex enchant, +3 dex armor enchant, Orleans gloves, and possibly the use of box of glooms, cecils would be a great idea then.

Likewise, your letting up alot of aspd with using a club, and you'll clearly have FCP for woe.

Like I said I already changed it to knife. I just started 2 days ago and this is my third day just give me time and i'll work on my gears but so far this is what I've got as default so its not permanent. So far i'm working on the OG for now but I'm still on the process of gearing up my Champ for hunting.

Already got invited Thnx.

Authority Badge does not remove Slow Grace effects.
