How should the stats look on a Paladin? I am interested in using Chiv quite a bit and would like to know how my stats should look.

I am 49 str / 29 dex / 29 + 2 INT right now.

What skills are good to use now to raise the stats?

Used to you would have to use certain skills to raise stats but now you can use any skill to raise stats. I believe it is 1 per 15 minutes with a max of 11 per day.

I play quite a few Paladins. Most of mine have about the same stats. Str 100, Dex 90, Int 50. (ish) That works out pretty well for me. You can always use jewelry/armor to raise them higher also.

Hi, Vectus.

Do you have heal skill? If so, I'd say 120 dex minimum should be your first consideration (for 5 second bandages). After that would come strength and then int.

Do you pvp? If not much, then you don't need a big mana pool, and you probably also don't need to save mana on special moves. So you could go elf form for 20 extra mana.

If I were a pvm paladin with no powerscroll, I would take:

100 str
25 int (45 mana with elf form)
100 dex

From there if I'd eaten enough to get 245 stat cap, i'd go with:
100 str
25 int (45 mana with elf form)
120 dex

From there i'd try to pile on strength and hit points as high as I can and if possible get my dex to 140 (for 4 second bandages).

That's how I do it, but other people certainly have different play styles.

Tukaram's stats are very close to what I have, I'm higher on the DEX than on STR, with INT about 40. Make sure your INT is high enough to cast all of the various Chivalry spells, though.

Thanks for the replies.

I will try and experiment and see which I like best.
