Gearing a Bard 5 / Paladin 6 / AA19

Post by Saleph » Sat Sep 29, 2018 11:06 am

Howdi!
So, ive started playing an elven paladin AA with this build:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing

RP is fun, fighting is tough but managable. But I have reached the point where im thinking on how to gear him.

This : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing
This implies I can get +13 Dmg through Divine Might...but that would mean 36Cha.
How in the blazes am I supposed to reach that?
Ive got 16Cha and can Imagine getting +10 through equipment(loosing some +dex)...and then Maybe +5 with the animal spell.
Yet that still seems quite the distance from what is shown there.

So my question is, how should one gear such a char (PvE focus)?

Wish upon the shooting stars you will find a paladin with Craft wand for a steady supply of hourly lasting Aura of Glory? I haven't the foggiest.

16 Cha -> 28 Cha max (12 is the soft cap for all ability score boosters)

+9 dmg from modifier, since Longbow is 2H, divine might is thus multiplied by 1.5

9*1.5 = 13.5, rounded down to 13

Ahhhhhhhh! Now I know!

So all my equipment should be +1Dex +1Cha?

A lot of stuff like gloves and rings yes. Some crafted equipment also comes with a plus dex. You dont need a full 12 cha from equipment because eagle splendor (potion/wand/spell/etc) can get you up to a plus 5 still.

When gearing paladin in general, is it neccesary to go for things like templars armour or is better to rely on aura lasting 138 minutes and eagles splendor?
