Will the manual be updated to reflect patch changes?

Thanks for the tips. I'll these stats and see how it goes.

and the more you read the more confused you get! With Percep at 12 I was trying to at least give the big lug a lttle bit of a chance to hit something...

When in battle, if I right click an enemy for their resistances/defenses - there is a yellow deflection? symbol with a percentage at the bottom. What is this and how does it work? Thanks

Thanks. Here is my "durable off tank damage dealer" as Torm put it Might - 14 Con - 14 Dex - 10 Per - 12 Int - 10 Res - 18 Human Aedyr Shieldbearer - don't want to change these Pretty much a jack of all trades tank but master of none. Durable Should be able to take a hit and at least have a small offense and some basic widespread abilities And I am definitely NOT a powergamer

Switch during the fight depending on the situation. Run into battle with a shield, hold long enough for CC to go off, switch to damaging weapon to capitalize. Switch weapon, engage unit that's trying to rush your back-line. Benefit from the instant disengagement strike if they don't stop. Divide up enemy engagement among other units, switch to damaging weapon to reduce numbers faster. etc. sorry, this noob doesn't know what CC is

so when do you switch to the heavy weapon - before or during a fight? No comprendo this theory also, any suggestions on stats for a "durable off tank damage dealer" type?

Yes, one does like to dish out a little pain once in a while rather than being a punching bag. I think I'll try mostly tank, with a pathetic attempt at some equally pathetic damage. Not sure how to fit in the dialogue options yet! One more thing: Is it possible to get both Flames of Devotion AND Lay on Hands for my Paladin?

If I leave Perception at 10 (seems so weird now) - I assume my dialogue options will be less than they were; although I will gain from the increased Int. Torm, with a Might of 10 I assume your build is tank only? Gotta love a guy with a shield who can take a beating and laugh it off!

It's a hard class to spec. I don't recall Constitution as being a recommended Paladin attribute pre version 2.0 either

I see that since Perception was changed re: Deflection, it is no longer a Paladin "recommended" ability and it no longer increases Deflecton. I see it does improve interrupt though. Looking for thoughts on the current value of Perception. Do I still need it at a high number? I restarted, and my last character was like 16 or 17 I believe. Also, are Constitution and Intellect still "less than crucial" as before for a tank type? Thanks for suggestions.
