Paladin BiS list?

[misterrpg]

I went 30 STR actually for my PLD and having no issues at all and finally beat Titan hard mode today, again no problems. I have 338 STR right now, reaching a new parry tier. I need only 25 more STR (which I am assuming is possible through i90) for the next tier, which all really shows over a long fight.

If you really think the extra 30 STR mitigation does not help over a 12-14 minute fight then you're CRAZYYYY AND DRUNK. I'd never use the 450 HP. I only ever die if I get hit with a auto one-hit KO or if the healer is down (which I'd be down instantly anyway).

By the way, are you saying that Valor Gauntlets aren't BiS? Because you know... the links you gave me say it is and I agree, so why even link a page saying it's BiS when you are saying it isn't.......?

The link that Sigrunn posted has 2 sets - a True BiS set (including Turn 5 clears), and a Pre-5 BiS set (for those who do not have a party that can clear Turn 5). Neither sets list Valor as the BiS gloves, unless I am going blind...

Also that 500 HP might come in handy somewhere, as a tank you never want to not have enough HP, and a tank wipe usually causes a team wipe as well. The tank is as important as the healer. You're not a DPS job. I really don't think 30 STR helps for Titan either - that 30 STR isn't turning you into an extra DPS. You're probably the first PLD I've ever heard who went 30 STR, kudos to you for not having tanking problems I guess...

without cooldowns up and shield oath up it can hit for anywhere between 4.5-5.5k, her autoattacks will hit for 1-2k and the plummets can do upto 2k damage. Virus/Rain of Death rotations help a ton on this fight plus the added utility of all the paladin defensive cooldowns, which is why it takes such a huge toll on this particular fight to heal a warrior. It's not uncommon to take 7-8k damage in the space of a second with no cooldowns available. Death sentence is cast around every ~35 seconds.

I have exactly 6k health. With Shield Oath only, Death Sentence swipes 4.5k of my health. The follow-up Plummet does 1.8k - instantly killing me. I am a 30 VIT PLD.
