The second quote was for a necro completing Trang's set.

I'm kinda disapointed in the Paladin shields - might as well be rares.

Indeed... given their high level requirements and are vitually inferior to the Hearld of Zakurum in every way, it seems fairly depressing. :(

The Herald? :huh: They're inferior to any old 4 socket exceptional Paladin Shield with 4 Perfect Diamonds in it, never mind HoZ! :unsure:

But that was to be expected and totally in keeping with the Paladin equipping ethos since version 1.00. ;) Every time new items are released for the Paladin they have always been layed out in a very cruel joke.

1.00
- Unique Scepters never drop and are inferior to Unique Swords anyway.
- Rub salt in the wound by putting +1 and +2 Barbarian skills on everything else that's of any use.
- + Skills on Magic and Rare Scepters make the item impossible to use due to repair costs. Best use? 35K sale to a vendor.

Expansion
- Tempt Paladins with an easy to make Holy Thunder and laugh hysterically when they try to repair it. :angry:
- Make three new exceptional scepters that never drop and assign the weakest to the meleer's and the heaviest to a caster build thus forcing him to either invest in otherwise unnecessary Strength or simply shop for something better. :blink:
- Make sure that most traditional Charger weapons in new Unique versions have Barbarian and Druid skills on them.
- Add a perfect Charger set. Then stick a Barbarian hat on it. :(
- Give a free quest reward shield at the end of a game that's vastly inferior to a 4 socket Pally Shield.
- Make a kick-arse Paladin set for the one or two players who have found a use for the Defensive Aura Tree and prefer not to attack anything.
