Thread: Paladin 2.4 BiS?

Looking at what we have I was thinking of going for something along the lines of this but maybe throw in a few crafted accessories once we figure out the hp cap for the new content.

This is based of the idea of the new acc cap being 545+ if its not I can switch around a few things and take it down to 536ish for a 11 det increase.


This is just an ideal, BiS doesn't work unless you have all the pieces. This is just for later when gear is within reach.

That late into content you'll more then likely be using STR or hybrid accessories.

The left side is all correct though.

Is it? Parry isn't the worst thing in the world.... not saying its the best but you are looking at a difference of 424 parry vs 662 parry at max parry build.

Seems like the 662 would mitigate a ton more, obviously not obtainable with STR accessories just food for thought.


I feel like this is worth discussion again, I am well aware of past anti-parry argument threads.

But the numbers are getting a lot higher. And yes I know parry adversely affects block rate.

But a thread not too long ago proved that its still more damage mitigation than avoiding it.

Can hit 700 parry depending on you nexus. I have 2 sets that put me over 700 parry with the calc.

Well I think I saw somewhere that it takes around 100 points of parry to make a 1% chance of parrying something, so I can maybe see parry becoming a much more useful stat in the future but I don't believe it will be in this patch or the next.

I personally prefer the slight increase in dps over a off-chance of parrying for a slight mitigation.

That's way off, it's roughly 13-14 parry per 1% (or roughly .078 % per point). We don't know exact numbers but those are close enough idea.

But your second sentence kinda nails the crux of it, it's just preference. Very slight dps increase or slight survival increase. I prefer the latter but there is no right or wrong answer. The secondary stats are just kinda crap in general and it usually comes down to what piece of gear you can get that has the highest ilevel(and lets you hit acc cap, of course).

13-14 per 1% can't be correct. At 646 parry my rate was 17%. Even considering using HA shield that's no where near 13-14 per 1%.
