Holy Melee [1.3] WIP

[MUS01]

Hi. I'm playing in versión 1.2 an holy melee paladin... I've thinking about the stat distribution: Can be a good idea invest a bit in dex? Let me say, 200 or 300 points? For base AR, Cause in End Game you will not have a maxed encarnation... and the uber skill, dragon knight buffs those dex points.... and you can get a decent amount of STR and vit...

The 1.2 stat distribution that i used is the same as the previous one, except that instead of putting the leftover points into dragon knight you put 7 in incarnation. I also maxed strength all the day except for Uldy Void Laz and Witch where i put some points into dex. You dont need dex with 7 points in incarnation for the rest.

Any tips for survivability, I am using almost full pala set. Max res 88, %dmg reduction 52, tons of flat damage, life around 9,5K, defense around 200K, but I feel squishy as hell. I hit like a truck, but I die easily.

Are you running in game? Make sure you'r walking instead of running. When you run, attack always hit you and chance to block is reduced to 1/3.

use retaliate to knockback opponents . profit .

200k defense isn't enough for a melee char that has no block.

Usually going for runewords is easy way to get decent defense as holydin, even without access to eth base items. Good old KRA chest helps a ton, nice ed crown, nih boots. Remember starting with such package and defense was way higher. Later when I found few ethereal items defense went up to over 500k.

A question about defense: Dragonheart gives TCD? For mystic orbs purposes on the gear.

[aerial]

yes, same mod, so stacking tcd on armors is not worth it (heavily diminished by 1000% tcd from skill)

Yeah I am not running for sure. That's was first thing I learned when started playing median.
I know 200K def is low, but pala set items don't have very high defense and for now I am using

for dmg reduce and some rainbow dmg. I think I can gain tons of armor, by switching to some runeword or crafted.

Knockback is fine, but dmg is so much lower then Divine Judgement

I guess I will use him to farm Uber bosses and not areas like TA or Duncraig. There are better characters for these areas
