FOH Paladins Dillema

He guys iam making a foh palading.

I maxed
FOH
Shock
lvl 25 convic
Holy Shield

Now iam lvl 77 and got spare skill points. In the Foh guide the recommend to put in smite. Well iam not planning to use smite so i was wondering i what should i put them now??

Options are i guessing
Defiance - for synergy shield
One of the resist boosters (fire,light,gold) so max resist goes up

Question in what would you put the extra sk points and if i go for extra resists what kind should i choose

thx

Well most people would say a Pure FOHer isn't a good idea for Pvp, but if you really want to you can.

If your going to put pts in resists go for light.

Get at least one point in salvation as its invaluable in duels and in pvm while baaling or leveling for fun. Your party will kiss the ground you walk on for 100 resist all. Another one point is meditation for those long duels. The mana regen is amazing. If you want pure pvp foher then points in resist lightning passively raise your maximum resistance to lightning.

If you havnt already, max Conviction. Slvl 25 is not enought. Many FoH'ers max their Conviction, and a high conv overrides the lower, so when facing a slvl 33 with your slvl 25 you will be destroyed. Even some T/V's go for more than slvl 25 for the same reason. Medi is useless scince FoH is a 1-shot-1-kill skill, if you need to launch so many FoH's that ur mana runs out, that duel is already lost. After maxed Conv I would put 1 pt into Fanatiscism and keep a grief in stash vs heavy sorbers & stackers.

Usually it is a 1 hit ko skill but every once in a while I hit a barb that has insane life and resists which seems to make it last a long time. Since FoH is a paladin, he has good tanking ability with max block and max resists plus high life. I will run into these duels with thebarbs where I simply cast FoH, charge away, cast foh, charge away, foh, charge away, and repeat. Even when the barbs have good BO, their mana will be low and will run out so they cannot tele or whirlwhind and must chase you down on foot. This is when your mana can get low as well. I had one barb take over 15 hits before retreating to town.. For most pubbs tho, you wont encounter those people but in case you doand you find mana potting still pottin, it comes in handy.
