Regarding the dex version, wouldn't it be viable to use a crystal sword since dragonheart now adds quite a lot of IED? A crafted one with 200 LoA + things like shiverhood could provide quite decent sustain.

Well i guess you can try an elemental version but i doubt you will reach higher dps than the phys version, since the skill tree has no support for cold pen.

Love this guide.

Just thought: can 2h swords be an option? They generally deal less dmg than hand of god and lack amazing grace, but realistically reachable 7fpa attack and much better hit recovery might tip the scales, what do you think?

I think it's possible. The advantage of the paladin that he has a lot weapon options. Even the 2h great axe SSU with full strength build. He has AR because of solar flare passif and you don't need to much item to cap you're combat speeds because of rapture.

Yes, good choices. Or we could test Headsman Hand Axe SSU with a good shield too.

A well crafted greatsword can be an alternative to well crafted hand of god yes. The problem is hand of god can roll paladin skills but greatsword cant, which isnt that big of an issue but still, i see no reason why would you go greatsword over hand of god.

If you want to reach 7 fpa, you can go with

Dumb question but I'm level 120 with like 90% of the mid game gear.

How do I turn into a dragon with tits?

Not possible anymore, because that buff was changed into a passive since it used to glitch gear a lot. The dragon thingy level 90 skill that adds %to stats.

Thus the morph also had to be removed.
