*****Admin please delete my accidental double post... sorry!*****

I am currently playing PvM with a Paladin character (the first character I made, actually) and have only been playing about 7 months, so my knowledge is a bit limited. I would like to take part in more group hunts, but find myself somewhat useless wading into battle ahead of the mages and getting slaughtered by hordes of mobs, while the mages end up killing everything. My question is this: What changes would YOU make to my template to make him more effective? Any advice is greatly appreciated! My current template is this:

Anatomy 110
Chivalry 92 dropping to 85
Healing 85.2 raising as Chiv falls
Parry 110
Resist 100
Swords 100
Tactics 100
I have a couple of misc. points dropping in other categories to help Healing raise also.

OR... do I keep it as-is, and just change my style of play? I am open to ANY suggestions, up to and including changing fighting skills if needed. Equipment wise, I wear full 70's, Bracelet of Health, and Essence of Battle.

Thank you!!!

If.. you're going to be the tank on hunts..as you described, then you need to raise parry to 120. If you need points to work with start taking them away from resist is what I would suggest. You could also drop Chivalry to 70. that gives you enemy of one in about 1 in 2 spell castings, hmmm... you also would need to raise the fighting skills.. (swords) to 120 to be effective in actually dealing damage to most high end mobs.
