[Paladin Questions: Order and Stats]

I do not understand the "dex does nothing for a paladin" comments. Dex affects your action speed and thus the number of actions you can perform in a given time.

 

If 10 dex gets you 10 attacks, 3 dex gets you 7.9 attacks and an 18 dex gets you 12.4 attacks.

 

If the plan is to make a punching bag aura bot then I suppose a 3 dex is a good plan. If you are trying for the last kill type abilities a higher dex would get you more DPS which would help to get more kills.

 

For a paladin every stat has usefulness, which leads to the issue of ending up as more of a generalist in a team of specialists.

 

Also you should turn off the dialogue descriptions and just pick the response that sounds better to you rather than game the system to maximize your faith and conviction. To me the potential bonus or penalty caused by your role play decisions is the big draw for making a PC paladin at some point.

 

In my experience CON is unnecessary for a paladin. So long as you have access to decent healing (And with lay on hands you're already partway there), you mitigate enough damage with your high defenses to rarely be in danger of KO, even as a tank.

 

I just recently PotD with a paladin:

17 MIG

3 CON

12 DEX

14 PER

14 INT

18 RES

 

I know a lot of people will balk at setting CON to 3, but I was on the frontline and had the lowest number of knockouts in the party.

[Coordinating weapon enchantment doesn't increase damage]

The coordinating enchantment on the mace "Ravenwing" is supposed to give +4 to accuracy and 1.25x damage when attacking the same target as an ally. However, when I used Ravenwing I didn't notice any increase in damage when attacking with an ally.

 

Looking through the comabt logs, I found that although the accuracy bonus is applied, there was no difference in the minimum or maximum damage (I tested about 20 hits under each condition). I also tested the crossbow "Good Friend", which also has the coordinating enchantment" and found the same results.

 

Is this a bug or is the item description just inaccurate?
